Q & A
What is the main concern discussed in the transcript about fast food?
-The main concern discussed in the transcript is the presence of heavy metals in fast food items from various popular chains, which can lead to health issues such as Alzheimer's, Dementia, and other serious conditions.
Which heavy metals were found in the fast food meals tested?
-The heavy metals found in the fast food meals tested include cadmium, lead, arsenic, and mercury.
What are the potential health risks associated with the buildup of heavy metals in the body?
-The potential health risks associated with the buildup of heavy metals in the body include Alzheimer's and Dementia, calcified blood vessels, increased stroke risk, fatty liver disease, and other systemic problems.
How does the food chain contribute to the accumulation of heavy metals in fast food?
-The food chain contributes to the accumulation of heavy metals in fast food because humans are at the top of the food chain. We consume animals like cows, chickens, and pigs that have ingested grass or grains with heavy metals, which accumulate in their bodies and ultimately end up in our food supply.
What is the significance of the way animals are raised in relation to heavy metal content in their meat?
-The way animals are raised is significant because the use of hormones and the feed they consume can affect the level of heavy metals in their meat. Pasture-raised animals that can roam and eat naturally are likely to have lower levels of heavy metals compared to those raised in confined spaces and fed with potentially contaminated feed.
Which fast food item was found to have the highest level of cadmium?
-The Chipotle Carne Asada Bowl with everything on it was found to have the highest level of cadmium among the tested fast food items.
What is the recommended approach to reduce the intake of heavy metals from fast food?
-The recommended approach to reduce the intake of heavy metals from fast food includes choosing items that are lower in heavy metal content, avoiding foods with high levels of certain heavy metals like cadmium, and opting for pasture-raised and hormone-free animal products.
What is the role of linolic acid in the context of the transcript?
-Linolic acid, when used in the context of the transcript, refers to rancid oils such as peanut, canola, and vegetable oils. These oils, when used for cooking, especially frying, can increase the levels of harmful substances in the food and contribute to health issues.
How can one identify if they have a heavy metal problem?
-A heavy metal problem can be identified by consulting with a functional doctor who can perform a hair test to detect the presence of heavy metals like cadmium, lead, or mercury. Symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea, abdominal cramping, neurological issues, and developmental disorders can also indicate a potential heavy metal problem.
What are some healthier alternatives to rancid oils mentioned in the transcript?
-The healthier alternatives to rancid oils mentioned in the transcript include coconut oil, olive oil, and avocado oil, which are more stable and less likely to go rancid when heated.
What are some fast food items that scored better in terms of heavy metal content?
-Some fast food items that scored better in terms of heavy metal content include the fried chicken breast at KFC and the chicken sandwiches and nuggets at Chick-fil-A, although the latter was noted to have a higher level of hormones.

🍔 Fast Food's Hidden Dangers: Heavy Metals
This paragraph discusses the presence of heavy metals in various fast food items from popular chains. It highlights the research that tested 42 different fast food meals from 20 different restaurants for heavy metals. The speaker warns about the health risks associated with the accumulation of heavy metals like mercury, cadmium, lead, and arsenic in the body, which can lead to serious conditions such as Alzheimer's, dementia, and fatty liver disease. The main concern is the bioaccumulation of these metals in the food chain, with humans at the top consuming the highest concentrations. The paragraph emphasizes the importance of choosing clean sources of animal meats and being aware of the potential health impacts of consuming fast food regularly.
🚨 Alarming Levels of Cadmium and Lead in Fast Food
The second paragraph focuses on the specific heavy metals cadmium and lead found in fast food items and their potential health effects. Cadmium, highlighted as a problem in various fast food samples, is noted for its carcinogenic properties and toxic reactions even at low levels. The paragraph mentions the Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) limits for cadmium in drinking water and contrasts it with the levels found in fast food, such as Chipotle's carnita bowl and In-N-Out's french fries. Lead is discussed as a neurotoxin that can cause developmental issues in children, with high levels found in Sonic's cheeseburger. The speaker advises on how to make healthier choices when eating at fast food restaurants, such as avoiding rice at Panda Express and being cautious with items that have high cadmium and lead content.
🥗 Navigating Fast Food Choices: Arsenic, Linolic Acid, and Detoxification
This paragraph delves into the presence of arsenic in fast food items and its unacceptable levels in many tested samples, with a focus on Panda Express's orange chicken and rice. The speaker also addresses the issue of linolic acid, a rancid oil found in many grains and cooking oils, which can lead to health problems when consumed in excess. The paragraph provides advice on how to mitigate the risks associated with heavy metals and rancid oils by choosing certain fast food items over others and by adopting healthier cooking practices at home. The speaker also suggests visiting a functional doctor to test for heavy metal exposure and undergoing detoxification processes if necessary, emphasizing prevention through informed food choices.

Transcripts
beware of what is hidden in fast food
joint Foods some of your favorites from
Subway to Chick-fil-A to Pizza Hut to I
got my hands on some more research
breaking down and the actual test
results of heavy metals hiding in 42
different fast food meals 20 different
fast food joints I'm talking about
breaking down for you the pepperoni and
cheese pizza at Pizza Hut to the KFC
fried chicken breasts to the Panera
Bread deli ham sandwich the Chipotle
burrito bowl the Duncan fast food
breakfast sandwich the uh Burger King
impossible Burger the Subway cold cut
combo or the Chick-fil-A chicken
sandwich or the McDonald's Big Mac all
of them tested for heavy metal contents
this is going to shock you a buildup of
heavy metals in your body not a good
idea a lot of different foods have heavy
metals they naturally occur in nature
certain foods are a little bit higher
than others but these shame on these
fast food joints are ending up in your
body by eating this food regularly this
is part two of this little series I'm
breaking down for you so let's dive in
let me show you exactly what I found
with it the link of heavy metals to
these I've been linked to Alzheimer's
and Dementia conditions they've been
linked to making the vessels more
calcified and the blood heavy which can
create a lot of buildup in the liver
high fertin levels which can lead an
increased stroke risk let alone cause
fatty liver disease so this is very very
important to be addressing overdoing
heavy metals can create a lot of
problems in the system they are coming
from fast food joints which not only
don't have a lot of nutrients in them
they're not showing a lot of benefit the
main CIT behind this is the buildup of
these heavy metals in animal based
products I'm not condoning going
vegetarian I'm saying we just need clean
sources of animal Meats because I always
say you're not what you eat you're what
you eat at and the major major problem
is that building up the bio accumulation
of the food chain you're at the top of
the food chain and you eat the cow or
the chicken or the pig and then they eat
a grass or a grain that has accumulated
things in nature and it works its way
down or a fish that then eats a smaller
fish that then eats some form of um
shrimp or crustation that then needs
some form of bottom feeder and in the
bottom feeders the bottom of the chain
is where these heavy metals sit I'm
talking Mercury I'm talking cadmium I'm
talking lead and I'm talking arsenic too
much of any of those major major
problems Mercury the second most toxic
substance known to man arsenic something
you don't want to mess with but a lot of
times are given to our livestock
specifically given to chickens in order
to make them grow faster it is in their
feed I worked on a chicken farm dirtiest
job I've ever done by the way catching
thousands of chickens each night that
was my first job I got paid a little bit
of cash I liked that as a 14-year-old
and I was able to get my hands dirty in
Iowa earn a little money and eventually
pay for my very first car a 1989 Honda
Acra by the way so digging into this how
the animal is raised very very important
we've talked about hormones we've talked
about pesticides you can see part number
one of this this series but now we're
digging into the actual test results of
the heavy metals let me show you the
data here it is so breaking this down
tons of your favorites Pizza Hut Taco
Bell KFC In-N-Out Burger Panera Jack in
the Box Chipotle Popeyes Sonic Little
Caesars Duncan Panda Express Dairy Queen
Wendy's Domino's Burger King Starbucks
Subway Chick-fil-A McDonald's and Arby's
if you live off that stuff pay attention
to this they tested them for multiple
different heavy metals arsonic Mercury
and Lead as I said 100% of the fast food
samples cuz they did usually two
different orders of common foods at each
of these joints they found that 100% of
the food samples contain alarming levels
of cadmium right here cadmium you can
see this is highlighted in the light
orange meaning we got a problem we have
a problem and they're very very high the
highest being that chipotle Carn B with
everything on it I'm going to show you
how you can alter that and what you
could be possibly ordering there because
this is lower in the amounts of hormones
found out of all of these Foods on here
Chipotle was but we got a lot of heavy
metals so there's goods and bads with
every single fast food joint cium is
highly carcinogenic and can cause toxic
reactions even at low levels if it
builds up in your body the In-N-Out
french fries the Inn if you're eating at
an In-N-Out the In-N-Out french fries
high level of it
1,8% higher levels of cadmium than what
the EPA the Environmental Protection
agency would allow in drinking water but
somehow when it ends up in your burger
then it's okay figure that one out
continuing on a couple of the highlights
the Jack in the boox fries very high
97% higher with these fries here as well
at a five but you can imagine then
Chipotle has double that 2,000% more
cadmium in that carnita bowl with
everything in it how do we order it what
do we need to do more on that in a
second now we also looked they also did
in the study this was done and driven by
moms Across America the heavy metal
analysis was done at the health research
institute and they submitted these for
heavy metal testing now heavy metals
naturally occur in some foods right but
we want to know alarming high levels the
second thing that they tested was lead
now lead even at low levels can lead to
children having intelligent levels
issues now even let it low levels can e
lead to ADHD concentration problems and
developmental issues in our children
they have a tough time learning even if
there's low levels of lead inside of
their blood it's not something we
wanting to have that's why we switched
from lead pipes to more a a plastic PVC
pipe because the lead leeched into the
water so if you still have an old house
you're probably getting some of this if
you still have really old toys it was in
the paint back in the day now it's in
the fast food Burgers case in point
let's go to Sonic Sonic on the chart
right here the cheeseburger super high
levels
10.34 that's
92% higher than what the EPA would allow
in your drinking water but it's allowed
at Sonic's cheeseburger how I don't
understand this that's a lot of lead
going in third main heavy metal tested
arsenic arsenic was tested and found
high in
177% of the fast food items tested of
the 42 different items at the 20
different fast food joints 177% of them
have high levels of arsenic that are
unacceptable arsenic the top two topping
the charts the worst top two of all time
number two Panda Express orange chicken
Plus White rice
16.42% 36 my advice if you're going to
eat at a Panda Express if you're going
to eat at a Chipotle skip the rice in
that scenario it ends up being much
higher in Arsenic a lot of times if it's
not properly sourced which this isn't
that's probably where a lot of it's
coming from there could have been some
added the carita being pork normally
you'll see it in the feed of chicken
this is why it's very important to have
pasture raised chicken allow them to
roam and eat bugs the way they're
supposed to but the pig will eat about
anything and so arsonic can build up in
that pork very quickly as well as in
beef as we saw with the orange chicken
and the beef but focus on the rice there
skip the rice you'll be cutting out a
few carbs you're still going to enjoy a
bowl it is a lot lower and the best when
it comes to hormones being in it for
Chipotle the problem I have with Panda
Express is the linolic acid this is the
other big big big big big problem want
to make sure that you get linolic acid
is a rancid oil if we use lots of
linolic acid and it shows up in grains
soybeans we're talking corn we're
talking those types of grains being fed
to our livestock that increases the
amount of linolic acid built up in their
muscle tissue which then you eat it and
then when you fry it like you do at
Panda Express you're increasing it even
more because linolic acid is also peanut
oil oil canola oil vegetable oil and
you're frying in these types of oils now
you're doubling down on liic acid you're
getting it from the meat you're eating
and you're getting on the type the oil
you're cooking with that is more
congestive and more dangerous to than
sugar in this country because it congest
the cells it takes 600 days to get out
of your body the number one Health
change you could make right now is
eliminating rancid oils from your diet
what do I stick to coconut oil olive oil
avocado oil pretty much that's it I
don't heat the olive very hot if I got
to heat something more hot I use avocado
or coconut those are the oils I stick
with because you can squeeze the actual
nut or in this case an olive and what
comes out is the oil that's naturally
occurring very stable lots of double
bonds it's saturated so it's double
bonded and then it doesn't go rancid as
soon as you heat it and smoke it you
make a good oil bad these rancid oils
one of the number one things you can
focus on for cutting it out let's go
back to the studies that number with
Panda Express 362 2% higher than the EPA
would allow in your drinking water
Chipotle even higher than that
approaching 380 higher than what they
would allow so why does this become a
problem by the way when you look at the
column with Mercury there was none
detected thank God we don't have the
second most toxic substance known demand
floating around inside of our meat did
you used to play crack the thermometer
open and play with the Mercury when you
were little I know you're still here
however we can do better by avoiding
these types of things I know you don't
want to freak out I know you may eat
some of these food still but you've got
to be aware of some of them have really
high content to stay away from those
that's what I'm trying to highlight here
or eat it less often and turn to real
food turn to meats that don't use
hormones don't use these types of heavy
metals and they actually feed the animal
what it's supposed to be fed the more
that you do that the better your health
is going to be let's dig further how do
you know if you have a problem with
cabum maybe it exposed to it too much
you can actually look to see if you have
heavy metal Problems by going to more of
a functional doctor that's going to test
your hair and then they can see if
cadmium or lead or Mercury or any of
these show up aluminum is another really
popular one and now with that knowledge
you can know maybe it's explaining some
of your symptoms like cadmium really
related to nausea diarrhea abdomen
cramping or the feeling like you have to
have a botle movement but nothing comes
out that's warning signs that cian's a
problem lead being an issue we really
see this start to show up in nervous
system Related Disorders you start to
think about an MS you start to think
about a Parkinson's or an Alzheimer's is
there a connection there with the heavy
metal lead being built up in those
tissues not allowing them to conduct the
way they're supposed to cuz metal is a
conductor because lead being a metal can
mess up conductivity in the body slowed
growth slow development learning
behavioral disorders hearing and speech
problems this can be tied in my dad had
a major problem with this he lost his
hearing started to lose his eyesight had
a bunch of heart problems this was one
of the factors lead and Mercury being in
his system leeched over the years built
up did it contribute absolutely we went
through some detoxification processes to
get it out our and it been tied to many
different conditions in the body it can
affect the nervous system the
respiratory um the skin the immune the
endocrine the hepatic so a lot of
symptoms of this drowsiness headaches
confusion and then severe diarrhea
unexplained reasons for that doctor
can't figure it out maybe you have heavy
metal issues you might want to look into
finding more of a functional doctor that
could test these things and then to
properly get it leeched out involves
someone that has a specialty and
actually doing that the best thing we
can all do though is avoid putting it in
in the first place picking the right
type of fast food is going to get you
there so I would skip the rice if you're
going to Chipotle it still performs
better at the hormone test watch out for
the lead side of things I would probably
skip the Pork pigs eat about everything
so I would lean more towards chicken or
beef in this scenario Chick-fil-A
chicken sandwich and Nuggets actually
checked out good as far as heavy metals
they were high in cabum still though but
low on this list but there is a lot of
hormones associated with that and it can
be a not so good couple other ones that
scored pretty good when you look down
through the list actually fried chicken
breast at KFC so chicken itself was much
better although you're going to get a
lot of rancid oils with that if we keep
going down we've actually got a dunked
and glazed donnut so it doesn't have a
lot of heavy metals however it's got a
bunch of sugar and it's got a bunch of
rans and oils to be watching out for and
then when you go all the way down to
Chick-fil-A they actually scored pretty
good for their chicken sandwiches and
their chicken nuggets but they do have a
lot of hormones associated with it and a
lot of you are like no my Chick-fil-A or
no my carnita Chipotle well you want to
look at heavy metals you also want to
look at a hidden hormone that is given
to our livestock that is now ending up
in you to see that viral video that has
hundreds of thousands on its way to
millions of views check this out as a
Next Step resource and you can always
look for some grocery store tours where
I take you through the meat section and
the produce section to help pick the
right vegetables to be able to start
cooking some of these things at home and
going the right direction with your
health you're not what you eat you're
what you eat eight check out this video
