Think bacon and sausage are killing you?

Read this article and see if you still think so

We need to stop confusing food processing with junk food manufacturing

Humans have processed food for thousands of years:

• Grinding
• Fermenting
• Salting
• Drying
• Cooking

Processing itself isn’t the problem

The problem is refined energy added to food

SUPPLEMENTS ARE LARGELY A SCAM

They exist because the modern diet is not aligned with our biology

If you eat these foods, you won’t need a single supplement

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Most people don’t know this, but US vitamin D guidelines are based on a statistical mistake that was pointed out over a decade ago…

and almost nothing changed

🤦‍♂️

I can’t believe they’re still using these debunked narratives to scare people away from eating the world’s healthiest food 🥩

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

You don’t get healthy by drinking powdered leaves

You get healthy by eating real food

AG1 just ran a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled clinical trial

It showed no meaningful clinical benefit 🤯

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Imagine thinking banning ads for the foundation of human nutrition is "progress" 🥩

Red meat is one of the only foods in the entire world being advertised that's actually good for you

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Why are certain media outlets so obsessed with convincing the world taking care of yourself is a bad thing?

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

What a time to be alive

We have a group of the population actively avoiding endocrine disrupters

And another group trying to boost them

Who knows about the Blue Zones scam?

A lot of it is true actually

But it’s wrong and deceitful when it comes to the most important part

THIS IS OUR FUTURE

Unless we change course

Learn what to eat and how to live like a human

That’s SAPIEN

Making a product plant-based makes it LESS nutritious the majority of the time

Yet it’s used as a positive selling point and marketing tool

“Plant-based” is a well-funded narrative that’s insanely lucrative

The way forward is simple but not easy.

It starts with demanding better.
Better meat. Better farming. Better food.

Healthy soil, thriving ecosystems, and nutrient-dense food all start with regenerative agriculture.

After interviewing hundreds of doctors and PhDs over the past eight years, one change has had the biggest positive impact on my life

….though it’s also the most controversial:

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

Why we need a new food processing classification

The US doesn’t have a clear way to define food processing. The best known attempt is the NOVA system but it has big problems.

👉 Ground beef gets treated like flavored yogurt
👉 Biltong or cheese can be lumped in with candy bars if the ingredient list is “too long”
👉 A single additive can push nutrient dense foods into the same bucket as soda

That doesn’t help anyone understand real health.

My system fixes two big issues:

1️⃣ Traditionally Prepared
It gives a rightful place to foods made with time-honored methods that preserve or enhance nutrient density. Sourdough, kimchi, cheese, biltong, canned fish. These are not junk foods.

2️⃣ Refined Energy
It shifts the focus to what really matters. The more a food’s calories come from refined starches, oils, and sugars, the worse it is for health. Not a single sweetener. Not an arbitrary ingredient count.

After that, foods are separated into 3 tiers:

✔️ Processed: minimal refined energy, few additives
✔️ Highly Processed: moderate refined energy, some additives
✔️ Ultra Processed: dominated by refined starch, sugar, and oil plus industrial additives

This matters because foods like fermented vegetables, cheese, or cured meats don’t just belong outside the “junk” category - they often increase nutrient density through fermentation, preservation, or concentration.

Recognizing ‘Traditionally Prepared’ protects the foods that have sustained humans for generations and separates them from the modern products that are truly driving chronic disease.

Spread this to anyone you know who can make change in food policy & legislation

Powerful event on advancing American freedom with @Mike_Pence and @AmericanFreedom here in Austin

Panel with @bgurley @mbrendan1

Put on by @UT_Civitas and Arena Hall

The results surprised nobody reading this 😂

Good to see the message getting out there

A few notes:

▫️Of course her list of whole foods didn’t mention beef or eggs 🤦‍♂️

▫️her child wasn’t a “picky eater” she was just habitualized to processed foods

▫️no more snacking or cravings

Even the WSJ gets some things right

Creatine looks so powerful because most people have been deprived of it thanks to decades of anti-meat messaging

Older generations cut back on red meat, became deficient, and now supplementation looks miraculous when it is really just replacing what they should have been eating all along

[Brian Sanders @FoodLiesOrg]

If saturated fat causes heart disease… why didn’t it kill the people who ate the MOST of it?
