4 “Healthy” Foods That Are Secretly Destroying Your Gut | EP 399.B

Some of the foods you eat every day might not be helping your gut.

In fact, certain foods, even so-called healthy foods, could be creating tiny holes in your

gut.

Which, if you've ever had a leaky roof, you know that is not a thing you want.

Not for your house, and especially not for your intestines, because your intestines

are kind of the roof of your house.

But it's nothing to be alarmed at if you know which foods to eat and which to avoid.

So today, we're taking a closer look at four popular foods that may be doing more harm

than good.

So stay tuned.

A few years ago, the wildfires came through my town in California.

I lost my home.

But what haunted me wasn't the fire itself.

It was what I saw on my clinic weeks later.

Neighbors I'd known for years, burning eyes, crushing fatigue, lungs loaded with invisible

ash, they couldn't even see.

That's when it hit me.

The air inside our homes is silently working against us.

Every single day, not just during wildfires, but right now, in your home, from your candles,

your furniture, your cleaning products.

That's why I created total air as part of my new brand home kind, medical grade filtration.

The same standard I trusted in the operating room, now protecting your family at home.

Go to homekind.com and use code CleanAir for 10% off total air filters.

Because every breath matters, make each one count.

All right, here we go, four popular foods that absolutely destroy your gut.

You've heard me say it before, all disease begins in the gut, which is why tearing for

your gut is one of the most important things you can do for your health.

So today, I'm going to share four widely used foods that can actually be reaching habit

on your gut microbiome and the wall of your gut, especially if it's soon in large amounts.

So let's get started.

First up, artificial sweeteners.

Almost all products, when the label reading sugar-free or like contained artificial sweeteners,

like saccharin and aspartame superlips, which are practically poisoned.

You know them by brand aids like sweet and low, equal and splendent.

All of them is that these sweeteners actually kill gut bacteria.

A Duke University study in 2007 showed that one packet of splendent, that is superlips,

can kill about 50% of your gut bacteria, one packet.

This can lead to incredibly bad things happening to you and your gut microbiome every time

you do it.

I did an experiment showing exactly how it works.

You can actually check it out right here on my YouTube page.

When you kill off good bacteria, you populate your gut with more and more game members

or bad bacteria.

These guys actually hijack your brain and your taste buds to actually make you look for

high calorie, high sugar, high fat foods.

And they're markedably weird thing about these bad bacteria is they actually extract

more calories from the food you eat and deliver it directly to you.

What you want, and what we talked about is you want gut bacteria that actually extract

the food that you eat for themselves so that you can actually eat more food and actually

lose weight.

That sounds pretty good.

So when you're looking for sweet, look for healthy sugar substitutes like allulose, which

is my favorite non-GMO allulose and monk fruit.

If you want to use stevia, that's fine.

But again, allulose is now my new state.

More and more products using rithritol are safe, but use it a small amount.

So a lot of my patients, rithritol really gives them some GIFs, upsets.

And while it used to be one of the better ones, there's so much better ones on the

market now like allulose, one stevia towards them.

All right, popular oils like corn and peanut oil.

Now, I know you may not be buying these bottles of oils at the grocery store anymore,

totally not.

But the truth is, if you buy packaged food or takeout, you're still

consuming them in huge amounts, almost all restaurants use these industrial, extravagant

oils because number one, they're cheap.

A lot of them have a low-frying heat of smoke temperature.

That means they won't smoke up the room when you're frying.

And you can use them over and over again, even though they accumulate harmful compounds.

But the problem with these are number one, they are primarily short-chain, omega-3 fatty

acids, which, although essential, omega-6 fatty acids are essential, we've been bombarded

in our food system with more and more and more omega-6 fats.

And it's balance between omega-3 fats and omega-6 fats that really make a difference.

Way back when we actually had pretty good balance between omega-3 fats and omega-6 fat.

Now, in the old days, we used to have two to one or three to one omega-6 to omega-3 ratio.

Now in America, we have about 30 to one ratio between omega-6 fats and omega-1s.

But wonder we have so much more information.

Another problem with these oils is that they contain rectins.

And rectins, as you know, are one of the best ways to cause a leaky gut.

Now, leaky gut is exactly what it sounds like.

Normally, you have a clothe that's in a intestinal barrier between everything you swallow on

one side and you on the other.

Eight percent of all your immune cells are right blood cells to live against your gut.

Because this is where trouble can come through.

With leaky gut, the seal between the various cells that mine and gut is broken.

And work from Olessio Fosano is now an aggregate shell that leptins, including gluten,

which is electronic, are one of the main causes of the gut.

So, banish these seed oils from your diet.

Just remember, almost every time you're getting something that's been prepared, packaged,

well, from a fast food restaurant, it's going to be teeny.

These no-no oils.

What are the best oils?

Well, quite frankly, olive oil is still the lowest oxidizable oil for cooking.

Yes, olive oil has a low smoke point, but smoke has nothing to do with oxidation.

So you're still better off with olive, avocado oil, sesame oil, and one of my favorites,

perilla oil.

Perilla oil is the preferred cooking oil in Korea and China.

It has a very high smoke point and has a lot of really interesting antioxidant comments.

But please stay away from the industrial seed oils and really be careful about your fast

food purchases.

So, read labels carefully.

If you see orange oil, peanut oil, converse oil, those are the oils to run away from soybean

oil, partially deep-fatted soybean oil, in general, skip the oils, particularly in restaurants.

How about oats?

Well, sorry, oats are lectin bombs.

Those contain a protein that cross-reacts with the loop, which means even if the oat

packing says, loop-free, that doesn't mean that your immune system doesn't recognize oats

as a foreign substance.

So oats are mischievous as my oldest daughter who's a horsewoman likes to remind me, dad oats

are good for one thing, and that's for fattening horses for winter.

And I assure you, you and I are not horses, and we certainly don't need to fat for winter.

And yes, this includes healthy oatmeal, oatmeal, and oat flour.

Not to mention, almost all of our oats in the United States are sprayed with roundup

glyphosate, and multiple studies have documented that almost all oat products sold in the United

States, including healthy oat bars, including healthy oats cereal, and even several organic

oat products, have glyphosate in them.

As you know, if you want to destroy the wall of your gut and kill your gut bacteria, glyphosate

is the way to do it.

So oats, even if it says organic, organic, gluten-free, are absolutely a no-no, because

of the cross-reaction with protein and oats with gluten.

So all of you folks eating your gluten-free oats, thinking you're safe in terms of

celiac disease and leaky gut, I got news for you, we'll see this all the time in our office.

And we look at people's eating healthy oat diet, and they've got dramatically keke.

All right, floor diet, animal protein.

Yeah, truth is, carnivores live shorter lives.

There has not been a society ever discovered that eats a high protein diet that has exceptional

longevity.

I'm sorry, I've looked for it, I've asked my carnivore diet guests to find me one.

There aren't any.

In fact, the blue zones, those areas of the world with the longest longevity and health

spans, including Loma Linda, California, where I was a professor for my career, all of

these areas.

One of the universal truths is that there's very limited animal protein, eating in any of

these areas.

Animal protein stimulates insulin-like rose factor, which ages us rapidly.

Plus, unfortunately, beef, lamb, and pork contain a sugar molecule called new 5GC, which has

been shown to cause autoimmune attack on our blood vessels, and has also been associated

with tumor growth.

So lastly, most animals that we eat in the United States are fed corn and soybeans and

other leptins.

So you are what you eat, but you are what's the thing you're eating, eight.

So if you want to get yourself a dull old-dose trumble, eat animal protein that's been fed

corn and soybeans, like most are in the United States, and you've got multiple reasons why

you really want to cut down on animal protein.

If you've got to eat it, look for a pasture-raised poultry, or 100% grass-finished grass-fed

beef.

Look for the word grass-finished.

There's no labeling law that requires how long you have to feed a cow grass before

you can actually call it grass-fin.

So fire, beware.

Now it's time for the question of the week.

A question comes from at kellykramer.s7g over on YouTube.

On my episode about how to take your supplements.

She asked Dr. Gendry human should people with Apple E4 gene should not have coconut oil.

I have dairy allergies, and I use coconut milk.

Because coconut milk have the same effect as coconut oil.

Well, that's a great question.

It turns out that coconut milk certainly has far less of the saturated fats of coconut

oil.

But there is some.

My personal preference, people with the Apple E4 gene, is to use other forms of quote

fake milk, like hazelnut or pistachio milk.

But remember, always buy the unsweetened variety.

But if coconut milk is your thing, it's not as bad as coconut oil.

One last thing, MCT oils, which in generally come from coconut oil, are actually quite

safe and beneficial for Apple E4s.

Thanks for the question.

Now it's time for the review of the week.

Review from over on my Spanish channel, Dr. Gendry and Espanol, on my episode about

taking melatonin.

They commented in Spanish, but we've translated it into English.

Thank you so much, Dr. Gendry.

I saw one of your videos where you explained the benefits of pistachios.

And now I'm adding them to my diet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for all your great contributions.

They have benefited me greatly, blessings and greetings from Mexico.

Well thank you very much.

We introduced the Spanish channel because, regardless of the language we speak, we all want

to have good health.

And since so many of my patients are Spanish speaking, or at least of Spanish, Mexican and

South American origin, I really want everyone to benefit.

From the knowledge I've learned from my patients, so thanks for writing, we'll keep it up.

I hope you enjoyed this episode of the Dr. Gendry podcast.

If you did, please share this with family and friends.

You never know how one of these health tips can completely transform someone's life when

you take the time to share it with them.

There's also the Dr. Gendry podcast YouTube channel, where we have tens of thousands of
