@KenDBerryMD Interesting Fact: "Ancient bananas, cultivated in Papua New Guinea around 7000 years ago, were small, stocky, and filled with seeds. Today's bananas are larger, seedless, and smooth on the inside. " (Google Search)
According to Dr. Bryan Ardis, sugar suppresses the immune system "and makes you more susceptible to all viruses, all infections".
"When you swallow sugar... it goes inside your bone marrow and it suppresses—within 45 minutes—your body's ability to produce white blood cells that fight infections like bacteria, yeast, viruses, funguses, and parasites."
"So if you're trying to fight an infection... and I find out you're eating doughnuts and pop tarts and cereal in the morning, you don't care about your health."
FOLIC ACID...Does Not Exist Anywhere On The Surface Of The Earth.
Folic Acid Is A Lab Created Chemical Wreaking Havoc On Our Health.
They Spray Our Grains & Call It 'Fortified.'
They Add It To Our Supplements & Call It 'Necessary.'
Folate Is Required. Folic Acid Is Poison.
Synthetic lab created Folic Acid causes more harm than good & it's risks outweigh any potential benefit.
45% of the world's population cannot process or convert synthetic Folic Acid into Methyl Folate because of the MTHFR gene mutation.
Synthetic Folic Acid builds & builds within the body, accumulating & mutating to cause grave harm.
In addition to vitamin supplements, here in the US, we spray the chemical or synthetic form of folate, called folic acid, on basically all grains – wheat, corn, rice. We also ‘enrich’ foods containing grains with folic acid – things like bread, pasta, bagels, and cereal.
It is also added to energy drinks, gatorade type drinks & vitamin water drinks. The problem here in lies, this excessive synthetic Folic Acid accumulates & is harmful.
Your body can’t actually use folic acid. It’s not a real nutrient. They engineer it in a lab. The only way your body is able to use this synthetic nutrient is by converting it into actual folate, which it does by using an enzyme called MTHFR.
This makes it near impossible for a person to methylate folic acid & other B vitamins properly. Too much folic acid floating around & not enough methylated folate can snowball into a whole host of issues.
An increase in unmetabolized Folic Acid leads to many issues including fetal loss & miscarriage. First, it can lead to an immune dysfunction by dysregulation of natural killer cells, leading to increased tumorigenesis. Increased folic acid has been linked to accelerations of leukemia, colorectal & prostate cancers.
Accumulated synthetic Folic Acid also causes B12 deficiency anemia, leading to a host of mental & cognitive issues. Folic Acid causes liver damage, neurological issues, immune system dysregulation & blood clotting issues.
The answer is to remove ALL sources of synthetic Folic Acid from the diet. Eliminate inferior supplements containing Folic Acid. Remove all 'fortified' & 'enriched' grains & drinks.
You can heal an actual Folate deficiency with high Folate foods, consuming beef liver & a Methylated Folate supplement.

If you know someone who is struggling with obesity, insulin resistance or dieting, send them this video. The late @DrSarahHallberg breaks it down brilliantly in this TedX talk that's been viewed 11 million+ times on YouTube.
This video had a profound effect on my understanding.
"If the greatest challenge...is serving all children equitably, how can a single approach to teaching reading be the solution for children from a vast range of cultural, linguistic, socioeconomic, neurological, and experiential backgrounds?"

Your liver makes 70–80% of your cholesterol because your body needs it to survive.
Your brain makes its own because cholesterol can’t cross the blood-brain barrier.
It’s that essential.
Calling cholesterol “bad” is one of the dumbest myths in modern medicine.
You don’t mass-produce poison. You mass-produce what keeps you alive.
What happens when you block cholesterol synthesis with statins?
Muscle pain. Memory loss. Hormone disruption.
Every cell in your body needs cholesterol.
But sure, let’s shut it down and call it “preventive medicine.”
How did we go from healthy to chronically ill in just a few generations?
In 1920, obesity was rare.
Chronic disease was rare.
People ate real food, moved daily, and didn’t count calories or need prescriptions to survive.
Today? 42% of adults are obese.
Half have diabetes or prediabetes.
What changed?
After WWII, processed food took off and obesity started to rise.
After 1980, it exploded—thanks to low-fat guidelines, sugar, seed oils, and ultra-processed junk.
This wasn’t genetics or laziness.
It was policy, profit, and the food supply.
Oxalates are powerful mitochondrial toxins that can hurt you in a myriad of ways.
- Kidney stones
- Arthritic pain
- Peripheral neuropathy
- Tinnitus
- Vertigo
- Brain fog
All these can be the result of oxalate toxicity.
The average human body can handle about 40-50mg of oxalates per day.
One cup of spinach has about 700mg of oxalates.
It's incredibly easy to overload on oxalates over time, and there's often a steep price to be paid.
Related, it's been my experience over decades that when we combine authentic & explicit reading, writing, & phonics teaching with social studies and science content & curriculum related to real-world issues, students' engagement, interest, & reading comprehension flourish.
