1 00:00:03,320 --> 00:00:05,360 Speaker 1: Hey, everyone, Welcome to Wellness on Mass. 2 00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:09,080 Speaker 2: I'm doctor Nicole Saffaire, Board certified position mom and forever 3 00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:13,800 Speaker 2: truth seeker well as someone who delivers a cancer diagnosis 4 00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:17,160 Speaker 2: just about every single day as my day job. Of course, 5 00:00:17,200 --> 00:00:19,759 Speaker 2: I have to talk about cancer. Everyone knows someone who 6 00:00:19,800 --> 00:00:23,360 Speaker 2: has either themselves or a family member or a friend 7 00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:26,079 Speaker 2: or someone who's been affected by cancer, because it really 8 00:00:26,160 --> 00:00:29,040 Speaker 2: is just so prevalent. And while we could talk about 9 00:00:29,080 --> 00:00:32,920 Speaker 2: cancer probably for a year straight, that's not necessarily what 10 00:00:32,960 --> 00:00:34,240 Speaker 2: I want to get into today. 11 00:00:34,640 --> 00:00:34,839 Speaker 1: You know. 12 00:00:34,880 --> 00:00:37,240 Speaker 2: One of the big things for me when it comes 13 00:00:37,280 --> 00:00:39,360 Speaker 2: to Wellness on Mass I really want to shine a 14 00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,600 Speaker 2: light on the science that really matters. And there was 15 00:00:42,640 --> 00:00:46,559 Speaker 2: exciting research that came out of Cornell University looking at 16 00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:50,400 Speaker 2: something very specific from a molecular level when it comes 17 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:53,479 Speaker 2: to cancer risk. But again, this episode is going to 18 00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:57,240 Speaker 2: touch on cancer, but it's not entirely about cancer. One 19 00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: of the questions I have had is how is being 20 00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: overweight related to cancer? Undoubtedly, we know that the more 21 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,160 Speaker 2: excess body fat you have, it can increase your risk 22 00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,920 Speaker 2: of cancer. In the United States, about seventy four percent 23 00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:18,560 Speaker 2: of adults are overweight or obese. About twenty one percent 24 00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 2: of kids adolescents are also overweight or obese. 25 00:01:23,440 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 1: That's a pretty. 26 00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:29,240 Speaker 2: Terrible number, and in fact, I think that's underestimated because 27 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,520 Speaker 2: as I look around at our kids, everyone's kind of 28 00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:35,240 Speaker 2: packing on a little extra weight, just like the adults. 29 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:38,400 Speaker 2: So one of the biggest questions that I have is 30 00:01:38,400 --> 00:01:41,600 Speaker 2: is it the fat in the body and its effect 31 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,679 Speaker 2: on our body that's leading to cancer or is it 32 00:01:44,720 --> 00:01:47,720 Speaker 2: something specific in our food that not only does it 33 00:01:47,720 --> 00:01:50,760 Speaker 2: make us fat, but it itself is toxic and is 34 00:01:50,840 --> 00:01:54,000 Speaker 2: resulting in cancer Or is it a little bit of both, 35 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:55,080 Speaker 2: and what can we. 36 00:01:55,040 --> 00:01:58,000 Speaker 1: Do about it? So let's kind of review what we 37 00:01:58,080 --> 00:01:58,360 Speaker 1: do know. 38 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,960 Speaker 2: It is settled signs excess body weight is linked to 39 00:02:03,480 --> 00:02:06,520 Speaker 2: a higher risk of cancer. It is what it is, 40 00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 2: and the fact that the United States is the most 41 00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:13,640 Speaker 2: overweight country in the entire world, it's not surprising that 42 00:02:13,680 --> 00:02:18,919 Speaker 2: we also have higher cancers. Why is that, well, fat 43 00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,560 Speaker 2: cells themselves. The fancy term is adipose cell, but we 44 00:02:23,600 --> 00:02:26,680 Speaker 2: can just call it fat cells. This excess fat tissue 45 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:32,000 Speaker 2: secretes pro inflammatory cytokines or hormones, inter leuken six, tumor 46 00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:37,560 Speaker 2: necrosis factor. These are hormones that as they go throughout 47 00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:40,720 Speaker 2: the body, in your bloodstream, in your tissues. 48 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:42,760 Speaker 1: It just causes chronic inflammation. 49 00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:46,959 Speaker 2: What does chronic information do well, It damages DNA and 50 00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,360 Speaker 2: it can inhibit something called apoptosis. 51 00:02:50,440 --> 00:02:51,800 Speaker 1: Apoptosis the way. 52 00:02:51,639 --> 00:02:55,480 Speaker 2: I remembered it in medical school pop pop is when 53 00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: a cell explodes on itself and it kind of dies, 54 00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:01,960 Speaker 2: and you want that to happen. Your body is supposed 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 2: to be able to see when cells are going rogue, 56 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,680 Speaker 2: or cells are getting too old, or cells are going 57 00:03:06,760 --> 00:03:08,959 Speaker 2: bad and they pop on their own, they kind of 58 00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:09,560 Speaker 2: get rid of it. 59 00:03:09,919 --> 00:03:10,839 Speaker 1: Apoptosis. 60 00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,240 Speaker 2: Well, if you have chronic inflammation, it's not necessarily recognizing 61 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:19,440 Speaker 2: those bad cells and that whole program cell death isn't occurring, 62 00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:23,720 Speaker 2: and that can facilitate cancer development. We also know those 63 00:03:23,760 --> 00:03:27,440 Speaker 2: adipose cells are hormonally active in themselves, so yes, they 64 00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:31,480 Speaker 2: secrete some chemicals that can lead to inflammation, but they 65 00:03:31,639 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 2: actually convert androgens in your body into estrogens because they 66 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:40,880 Speaker 2: have a specific enzyme in them, So these fat cells 67 00:03:41,080 --> 00:03:44,920 Speaker 2: create more estrogen in the body. Estrogen is linked to 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:50,520 Speaker 2: certain cancers. Hormone sensitive cancers like breast cancer, endometrial cancer, 69 00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: and ovarian cancers also can be linked to liver, cancers 70 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:58,320 Speaker 2: and others. And then on top of it, the more 71 00:03:58,400 --> 00:04:00,800 Speaker 2: cancer or the more fat cells you have in your body, 72 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,800 Speaker 2: the more insulin resistant your body is. So now you 73 00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: have higher levels of circulating insulin, it's not really working 74 00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:13,400 Speaker 2: on your body. And this also can stimulate tumor cell growth. 75 00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 2: There are other things that excess fat does in your body. 76 00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:21,000 Speaker 2: It alters your metabolism, higher levels of insulin, like we're 77 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:25,960 Speaker 2: just saying, also inhibit that apoptosis or the program cell death. 78 00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,640 Speaker 2: It can change your microbiome. The excess body weight can 79 00:04:29,680 --> 00:04:33,880 Speaker 2: can change the composite of your gut microbiome. We'll be 80 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:37,520 Speaker 2: talking about gut microbiome a lot on this podcast because 81 00:04:38,080 --> 00:04:40,120 Speaker 2: your gut is kind of the center. 82 00:04:39,920 --> 00:04:40,880 Speaker 1: Of your health. 83 00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 2: So if you get rid of the good bacteria and 84 00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,440 Speaker 2: you have all the bad bacteria, that's also going to 85 00:04:46,520 --> 00:04:49,160 Speaker 2: lead to more inflammation, could also lead to more cancers, 86 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:52,839 Speaker 2: and it also impairs your immune system. Having more fat 87 00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:56,400 Speaker 2: cells dampens the activity of your immune system. 88 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:57,680 Speaker 1: Let's think about COVID. 89 00:04:57,920 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 2: What was one of the first things we noticed with 90 00:05:00,120 --> 00:05:03,680 Speaker 2: COVID people that weren't doing well early on during the 91 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:09,000 Speaker 2: COVID pandemic. The elderly, severely immunocompromise, and those that were overweight. 92 00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:11,200 Speaker 2: Why is that, Well, I just laid. 93 00:05:11,040 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: It out for you. 94 00:05:11,680 --> 00:05:15,920 Speaker 2: Having excess body fat is terrible for you. Your body 95 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:19,960 Speaker 2: is in a state of chronic inflammation, and so when 96 00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,760 Speaker 2: you get an infection or you're sick from whatever it 97 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:27,640 Speaker 2: may be, that chronic state of inflammation makes it so 98 00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: you can't fight things off. So excess body weight bad 99 00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:36,000 Speaker 2: for you. Bottom line, excess fat can lead to excess cancer. 100 00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:40,200 Speaker 2: We know this, Like I've said, it's settled science. But 101 00:05:40,279 --> 00:05:43,680 Speaker 2: what is less settled is does the foods we eat 102 00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,920 Speaker 2: directly cause cancer in addition to indirectly causing cancer by 103 00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,560 Speaker 2: leading to the excess fat. Well, that's one of the 104 00:05:50,560 --> 00:05:53,599 Speaker 2: things that Cornell looked at. They took it to the 105 00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 2: molecular level to look at whether a particular substance, and 106 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:01,239 Speaker 2: in this case, lineleic acid, was able to cause cancer 107 00:06:01,600 --> 00:06:05,600 Speaker 2: to develop and grow. So again we're talking about are 108 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,159 Speaker 2: the foods we eat not just poisoning us because they. 109 00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:09,719 Speaker 1: Make us fat? 110 00:06:10,440 --> 00:06:14,200 Speaker 2: Are they actually just poisoning us as well because there's 111 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:17,800 Speaker 2: something bad about them? So this study was funded by 112 00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 2: the NIH. It was done by postdoc researchers at Cornell 113 00:06:20,960 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 2: my colleagues, I'm on staff at Cornell as well. They 114 00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:26,719 Speaker 2: do some great research there. What they discovered they were 115 00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:30,560 Speaker 2: feeding mice linal liic acid. Line liic acid is an 116 00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,840 Speaker 2: Omega six fatty acid. We'll talk about that later. So 117 00:06:34,880 --> 00:06:38,480 Speaker 2: they were feeding lineleic acid. This is a fatty acid 118 00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:39,600 Speaker 2: that we get. 119 00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:40,159 Speaker 1: From our diet. 120 00:06:40,279 --> 00:06:43,279 Speaker 2: Our body doesn't make it, so the only way we're 121 00:06:43,279 --> 00:06:46,800 Speaker 2: ever exposed to this is by consuming it. What they 122 00:06:46,839 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 2: did was they took mice. They fed mice who already 123 00:06:50,960 --> 00:06:54,760 Speaker 2: had a triple negative breast cancer. Triple negative breast cancer 124 00:06:55,040 --> 00:06:58,520 Speaker 2: is the most aggressive, difficult to treat breast cancer. It's 125 00:06:58,920 --> 00:07:03,200 Speaker 2: a really difficult from our perspective. And when you see 126 00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,520 Speaker 2: someone with a younger person with breast cancer, they tend 127 00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 2: to have triple negative breast cancers deadlyest formed the disease. 128 00:07:10,440 --> 00:07:13,360 Speaker 2: So they took mice who have triple negative breast cancers 129 00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,560 Speaker 2: and they fed them a diet high in lineleic acid. 130 00:07:16,960 --> 00:07:19,400 Speaker 2: And then they compared it to a placebo group, so 131 00:07:19,760 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 2: mice who had breast cancer but they weren't being fed 132 00:07:22,480 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 2: this high lineleic acid diet. What did they find Well, 133 00:07:26,160 --> 00:07:29,480 Speaker 2: they found those that consumed the oil the lineleic acid, 134 00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,320 Speaker 2: their tumors grew larger and faster than those that didn't 135 00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:38,680 Speaker 2: consume lineleic acid. They also looked at humans too, so 136 00:07:38,920 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: there was a link to humans as well, that there 137 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,880 Speaker 2: was elevated levels of that lineleic acid in the blood 138 00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,520 Speaker 2: samples from triple negative breast cancer patients. 139 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:51,160 Speaker 1: So what does that mean? Okay, well, let's talk about 140 00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:52,440 Speaker 1: what exactly. 141 00:07:52,040 --> 00:07:55,400 Speaker 2: Lineleic acid is, because if I were just to read that, 142 00:07:55,480 --> 00:07:58,320 Speaker 2: I would have no idea what it was. Linealleic acid 143 00:07:58,600 --> 00:08:03,080 Speaker 2: is an essential omego omega six polyunsaturated fatty acid that 144 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,440 Speaker 2: again that we have to get from our diet, meaning 145 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 2: we don't make it ourselves. 146 00:08:06,760 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: The only way we're exposed to it is through consumption. 147 00:08:09,920 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 2: And in the United States, our Western diet, we have 148 00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:17,320 Speaker 2: a lotted added oils. I know you've heard OURFK Junior 149 00:08:17,360 --> 00:08:20,040 Speaker 2: talk about it. That's where we're going with this. Yes, 150 00:08:20,520 --> 00:08:25,400 Speaker 2: we're talking about those vegetable oils, those seed oils. Polyuns 151 00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:29,880 Speaker 2: unsaturated omega six fatty acids are found abundantly in those 152 00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:35,600 Speaker 2: vegetable oils, soybean oils, corn oils, sunflower oil, saft flower oils. 153 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:37,920 Speaker 2: I don't even know what saff flowers are, but apparently 154 00:08:37,920 --> 00:08:40,520 Speaker 2: that's one of them. But again, those are all of 155 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,920 Speaker 2: those seed oils that you hear RFK Junior talking about, 156 00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:47,000 Speaker 2: and all of a sudden you're hearing the fast food 157 00:08:47,040 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 2: restaurant saying, oh, maybe we should take some of these 158 00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:55,520 Speaker 2: unhealthy oils out of the diet. Listen, there are benefits 159 00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:57,800 Speaker 2: to some of the fats in these oils, but we 160 00:08:57,920 --> 00:09:01,360 Speaker 2: have to balance them. So you have omega six fatty 161 00:09:01,400 --> 00:09:06,360 Speaker 2: acids which come from like lineleic acid and these seed oils, 162 00:09:06,679 --> 00:09:09,880 Speaker 2: and then you also have your omega three fatty acids. 163 00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:13,599 Speaker 2: When you hear someone me, for instance, saying, hey, you 164 00:09:13,640 --> 00:09:16,160 Speaker 2: got to get in your omegas, I'm saying you have 165 00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:20,080 Speaker 2: to get in your healthy omega threes because those fats 166 00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:23,600 Speaker 2: are so crucial for your brain health, for your heart health, 167 00:09:23,679 --> 00:09:26,920 Speaker 2: and just overall wellness in your immune system. You get 168 00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:31,160 Speaker 2: those healthy omega three fats from salmon. 169 00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,440 Speaker 1: Sardines, other things. 170 00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:36,480 Speaker 2: Just like that, You're supposed to have a balance in 171 00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:40,680 Speaker 2: your body of omega six to omega three balance. The 172 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,760 Speaker 2: healthy place to be is having a ratio of five 173 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:48,480 Speaker 2: to one, meaning five of the omega sixes to one 174 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,080 Speaker 2: of the omega threes. The problem is, in our Western 175 00:09:52,160 --> 00:09:55,800 Speaker 2: diet we have exceeded that ratio threefold. We're at like 176 00:09:56,320 --> 00:10:00,000 Speaker 2: fifteen to one. And this is why our inflammatory process 177 00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: disease are all skewed. This is why we have so 178 00:10:03,360 --> 00:10:08,119 Speaker 2: many metabolic conditions, so many more cancers, so much more overweight. 179 00:10:08,640 --> 00:10:12,400 Speaker 2: It's a problem. And so while a moderate intake of 180 00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:17,680 Speaker 2: liic acid and those omega sixes supports our normal physiological functions, 181 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 2: very high intakes, especially if you don't have an adequate 182 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,800 Speaker 2: amount of those omega threes that we are talking about 183 00:10:25,559 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 2: in study after study have shown that you have increased 184 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:32,559 Speaker 2: markers of inflammation and higher risk for chronic diseases, including 185 00:10:32,880 --> 00:10:35,320 Speaker 2: certain cancers, which we're talking about today. 186 00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:40,760 Speaker 1: So bottom line, excess fat leads to excess cancers. But 187 00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:42,480 Speaker 1: also we are what we eat. 188 00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,679 Speaker 2: If we are intaking high levels of in this particular case, 189 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:51,640 Speaker 2: lineleic acid, lineal. Liic acid itself is probably fueling tumor 190 00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,120 Speaker 2: cells that are just waiting to grow in our body. 191 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:57,640 Speaker 2: So not only is it causing xx fat, but in 192 00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:02,079 Speaker 2: itself may be causing these cancers to grow rampantly. That's 193 00:11:02,120 --> 00:11:03,920 Speaker 2: what we saw in the myce studies, and we also 194 00:11:03,960 --> 00:11:07,000 Speaker 2: saw women with these highly aggressive breast cancers. They had 195 00:11:07,080 --> 00:11:10,679 Speaker 2: high levels of liteleic acid circulating in their bloodstream. 196 00:11:11,080 --> 00:11:12,560 Speaker 1: So if they had had a. 197 00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 2: Lower consumption of these unhealthy seed oils, the question is 198 00:11:18,440 --> 00:11:21,319 Speaker 2: would their cancer have been so aggressive or would they 199 00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 2: even develop that cancer at all. I mean, that's where 200 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,240 Speaker 2: the research is still ongoing, and we need to know 201 00:11:27,280 --> 00:11:30,560 Speaker 2: that while we've gotten so good at detecting cancers finding 202 00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:33,720 Speaker 2: them at earlier levels, we've gotten great when it comes 203 00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,760 Speaker 2: to treating a lot of cancers. People are living longer 204 00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,880 Speaker 2: with cancer. You can have stage four cancer these days 205 00:11:40,080 --> 00:11:42,959 Speaker 2: and you can still live ten twenty thirty years because 206 00:11:42,960 --> 00:11:46,560 Speaker 2: of our treatments. It's really quite remarkable what we've done. 207 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:48,520 Speaker 2: There's still a lot of work to do because there 208 00:11:48,520 --> 00:11:52,960 Speaker 2: are some cancers pancreatic cancer, glioblastoma multiform, and the brain 209 00:11:53,440 --> 00:11:56,559 Speaker 2: that we still have very limited treatment options for. So 210 00:11:57,080 --> 00:11:59,680 Speaker 2: the quest continues to make sure we can treat all 211 00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,520 Speaker 2: of these cancers, but we also need to focus on 212 00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:06,000 Speaker 2: how can we be preventing these cancers, because we want 213 00:12:06,040 --> 00:12:09,240 Speaker 2: to make sure that we have enough funding for people 214 00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,360 Speaker 2: who still get the cancers that we don't know how 215 00:12:11,400 --> 00:12:13,800 Speaker 2: to treat. Right now, we are spending a lot of 216 00:12:13,840 --> 00:12:17,920 Speaker 2: research on treating cancers that could have been prevented. In 217 00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:20,800 Speaker 2: my book Make America Healthy Again, which came out in 218 00:12:20,840 --> 00:12:24,840 Speaker 2: twenty twenty, I have an entire chapter talking about how 219 00:12:24,960 --> 00:12:29,199 Speaker 2: over fifty percent of all cancer may be prevented if 220 00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,760 Speaker 2: we had just adopted some very basic lifestyle changes. Sometimes 221 00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:37,120 Speaker 2: it's a little too late for that the damage can 222 00:12:37,160 --> 00:12:40,400 Speaker 2: be done. But looking ahead, we have to find ways 223 00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:43,520 Speaker 2: that we can decrease chronic chronic inflammation in our body 224 00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:46,440 Speaker 2: and try to prevent the risk of disease, specifically cancer. 225 00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:49,480 Speaker 2: I am so excited today that I am able to 226 00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:53,240 Speaker 2: bring on chef rule. He is a restauranteur, He is 227 00:12:53,360 --> 00:12:56,720 Speaker 2: involved in his local politics, and he is all about 228 00:12:56,920 --> 00:13:00,520 Speaker 2: healthy living. He was one of the first people I've 229 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 2: ever heard talking about how these seed oils and omega 230 00:13:04,679 --> 00:13:07,760 Speaker 2: sixes are unhealthy. He was talking about it before the 231 00:13:07,760 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 2: whole Make America Healthy Again movement, before it was cool 232 00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,960 Speaker 2: to talk about it. He was in the forefront in this, 233 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:17,480 Speaker 2: and he started removing seed oils from his restaurants, from 234 00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:21,840 Speaker 2: his cooking again even before COVID. So excited to bring 235 00:13:21,880 --> 00:13:24,000 Speaker 2: him on Today. We're going to talk about these seed 236 00:13:24,040 --> 00:13:25,920 Speaker 2: oils and we're going to give you some tips on 237 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,280 Speaker 2: what you can do to just replace some of the 238 00:13:28,280 --> 00:13:31,040 Speaker 2: basic things, because you may have some things that have 239 00:13:31,160 --> 00:13:35,000 Speaker 2: high levels of lineleic acid, whether in your pantry, in refrigerator. 240 00:13:35,240 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 2: You don't even realize it that you have these potential 241 00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:42,000 Speaker 2: toxins because we use them every day. And why don't 242 00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:44,200 Speaker 2: we use them every day? Well, they're cheap and they 243 00:13:44,280 --> 00:13:46,840 Speaker 2: last long, they have long shelf lives, and we're so 244 00:13:47,040 --> 00:13:49,640 Speaker 2: used to using them, but we don't realize the potential 245 00:13:49,679 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 2: danger that's lurking. Luckily, Chef Gruel is going to give 246 00:13:52,520 --> 00:13:54,400 Speaker 2: us some tips on what we can do to easily 247 00:13:54,440 --> 00:13:58,600 Speaker 2: swap them out for healthier alternatives. Coming up next, Chef 248 00:13:58,640 --> 00:14:00,760 Speaker 2: Andrew Kruhl is going to give us some tips and 249 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:06,120 Speaker 2: tell you everything you need to know. All right, Well, 250 00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,600 Speaker 2: there is no better person to help us kind of 251 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:12,400 Speaker 2: cut through all of the toxins and everything that we're 252 00:14:12,440 --> 00:14:16,000 Speaker 2: talking about. We are what we eat, right, So the 253 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,400 Speaker 2: things that we are eating is that what's making us unhealthy. 254 00:14:18,679 --> 00:14:22,600 Speaker 2: I can tell you study after study about being overweight 255 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 2: and not exercising and certain things that you consume. You know, 256 00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,960 Speaker 2: maybe it's not going to make you unhealthy, but how 257 00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:31,680 Speaker 2: do we actually take that information and live a healthier life? 258 00:14:31,720 --> 00:14:35,400 Speaker 2: So I am so pleased to introduce Chef Andrew Groul. 259 00:14:35,520 --> 00:14:36,160 Speaker 1: You all know him. 260 00:14:36,200 --> 00:14:38,040 Speaker 2: If you've been watching Fox News, you see him. He's 261 00:14:38,040 --> 00:14:40,040 Speaker 2: all over the place. I mean, he is so active 262 00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:44,600 Speaker 2: these days. Restaurant owner city councilmen in Huntington, California did 263 00:14:44,600 --> 00:14:48,240 Speaker 2: some incredible work after the wildfires. Chef Andrew, Girl, I'm 264 00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:49,920 Speaker 2: so happy to have you today on wellness. 265 00:14:49,960 --> 00:14:50,440 Speaker 1: I'm asked. 266 00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:54,160 Speaker 3: It's an honor to be here. Thank you so much so, Chef. 267 00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 2: We've been talking about, you know, lifestyle and how it 268 00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:01,200 Speaker 2: is directly correlated with some chronic illness. And one thing 269 00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:04,440 Speaker 2: specifically that I find myself still even getting a little 270 00:15:04,440 --> 00:15:08,320 Speaker 2: bit confused about is when we're talking about essential omega 271 00:15:08,600 --> 00:15:10,760 Speaker 2: polyonsitch saturated fatty acids. 272 00:15:11,040 --> 00:15:13,960 Speaker 1: First of all, what are they do? We need them? 273 00:15:14,480 --> 00:15:15,640 Speaker 1: Talk a little bit about. 274 00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 3: Them, definitely, Well, you know, you've got the good fats right, 275 00:15:19,400 --> 00:15:21,600 Speaker 3: And I always talk about like the good fats. I 276 00:15:21,600 --> 00:15:23,880 Speaker 3: think when we ask anybody on the street, what are 277 00:15:23,880 --> 00:15:25,960 Speaker 3: the good fats? Most of people know, you know, the 278 00:15:25,960 --> 00:15:28,320 Speaker 3: fats you find in seafood and olive oils, et cetera. 279 00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 3: But then we start creeping in the omega sixes and 280 00:15:31,560 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 3: trying to understand whether those are the good fats are 281 00:15:34,240 --> 00:15:37,080 Speaker 3: not things like seed oils and some flower seed oil, 282 00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 3: vegetable oils, also certain types of nuts. And then furthermore 283 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,960 Speaker 3: where it can get a little bit confusing is the 284 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 3: meats that we're eating, because you know, carnivor and keto 285 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 3: has been huge. Do some of those meats are they 286 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:51,400 Speaker 3: hiring the omega sixes? Right? The theoretically the more unhealthy 287 00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:53,640 Speaker 3: fats when they're when you eat too much of them, 288 00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:56,440 Speaker 3: in relation to the omega threes that are in the 289 00:15:56,480 --> 00:15:59,240 Speaker 3: feed of a lot of the commercially processed meats that 290 00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,480 Speaker 3: we eat chicken, beef, et cetera. Which then would lead 291 00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 3: me down the conversation about more grass fed meats. So 292 00:16:06,000 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 3: you know, I'm not a doctor. I'm just a chef. 293 00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,640 Speaker 3: So you know, I can't get into the granular particulars 294 00:16:11,640 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 3: and the chemistry as to how it all kind of 295 00:16:13,720 --> 00:16:15,920 Speaker 3: reacts in your body. But what I bring to the 296 00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:19,240 Speaker 3: conversation is, you know, I have a background in a 297 00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 3: world of seafood and understanding seafood, and it came to 298 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:25,760 Speaker 3: my attention early on I started a nonprofit. Actually, first 299 00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:28,320 Speaker 3: time I moved from California out to or sorry, from 300 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,560 Speaker 3: New Jersey out to California was to start a nonprofit 301 00:16:30,600 --> 00:16:32,560 Speaker 3: in the seafood world. And that was where I learned 302 00:16:32,600 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 3: about this imbalance of your omega sixes and your omega 303 00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:37,400 Speaker 3: threes and how it's leading to a lot of the 304 00:16:37,520 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 3: chronic inflammation and metabolic issues that we've seen in the 305 00:16:40,880 --> 00:16:41,960 Speaker 3: Western diet. 306 00:16:42,440 --> 00:16:43,000 Speaker 1: So that's right. 307 00:16:43,040 --> 00:16:44,960 Speaker 2: So there is supposed to be you're supposed to have 308 00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:47,840 Speaker 2: some omega six omega six is, you're supposed to have 309 00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,280 Speaker 2: some omega threes, and there is kind of a sweet 310 00:16:50,280 --> 00:16:53,040 Speaker 2: spot ratio. From what I know, it's like a five 311 00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,120 Speaker 2: to one ratio, But if you look at our American diet, we're. 312 00:16:57,000 --> 00:16:58,800 Speaker 1: Like a fifteen to one ratio. 313 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:01,720 Speaker 2: Like all of a sudden, we have so many omega 314 00:17:01,760 --> 00:17:05,159 Speaker 2: sixes in our diet. Now, it's important to remember we 315 00:17:05,200 --> 00:17:08,240 Speaker 2: don't make omega sixes, like, our body doesn't produce them. 316 00:17:08,280 --> 00:17:11,640 Speaker 2: The only way we're exposed to them is by consuming them. 317 00:17:12,080 --> 00:17:14,879 Speaker 2: So you mentioned some of those hot spots of where 318 00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,240 Speaker 2: we actually get those Omega sixes. And by the way, 319 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:21,119 Speaker 2: Omega six is that linilaic acid that we've been talking about. 320 00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:24,160 Speaker 2: So where do we find that in our foods? 321 00:17:25,240 --> 00:17:28,480 Speaker 3: Everywhere? And I think that's the point that we should 322 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:32,560 Speaker 3: probably emphasize everywhere. And that's where I started to have 323 00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:35,600 Speaker 3: this Eureka moment and I said, wait a minute. You know, 324 00:17:36,280 --> 00:17:38,400 Speaker 3: these illnesses have gone up over the years, and I've 325 00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:41,359 Speaker 3: personally experienced it myself with just a lot of like 326 00:17:41,400 --> 00:17:44,280 Speaker 3: stomach issues and body issues. And I'm an athlete. I've 327 00:17:44,359 --> 00:17:47,760 Speaker 3: always been into fitness. So when I watch what's happening 328 00:17:47,800 --> 00:17:50,360 Speaker 3: to my body and I'm working out and I'm doing 329 00:17:50,400 --> 00:17:52,240 Speaker 3: all the right things, but it's not getting better, I 330 00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:54,359 Speaker 3: kind of had this moment where I said, well, what's 331 00:17:54,440 --> 00:17:56,800 Speaker 3: in all of my foods? Because naturally, when you go 332 00:17:56,840 --> 00:17:58,600 Speaker 3: to any doctor and you say, hey, look i've got 333 00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:01,080 Speaker 3: this stomach issue or I don't feel right that they 334 00:18:01,160 --> 00:18:02,720 Speaker 3: a lot of times they move you into this food 335 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:05,560 Speaker 3: elimination stage where you're looking at everything you're eating and 336 00:18:05,600 --> 00:18:08,960 Speaker 3: you're kind of removing something, removing an item or an ingredient. 337 00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:13,840 Speaker 3: When I go across the portfolio of products that I 338 00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:16,159 Speaker 3: was consuming at the time, and most Americans do. I 339 00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 3: realized there's seed oils and absolutely everything right processed food, 340 00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:22,480 Speaker 3: all the seed oils. I mean you even to go 341 00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,680 Speaker 3: to get a bag of nts and their seed oils 342 00:18:25,760 --> 00:18:29,560 Speaker 3: right they're roasted in canola oil. Like everything has this 343 00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,399 Speaker 3: in omega six fatty acid seed oil in it. And 344 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:37,320 Speaker 3: it's not just the seed oils right, Like, it's also 345 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:40,200 Speaker 3: a lot of what I mentioned earlier, where the animals 346 00:18:40,240 --> 00:18:43,200 Speaker 3: are feeding on the grains or the low quality products 347 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:45,359 Speaker 3: that are higher in these Omega six fatty acid, so 348 00:18:45,400 --> 00:18:47,919 Speaker 3: it's coming through in their feed. So when we were 349 00:18:47,920 --> 00:18:50,960 Speaker 3: studying the seafood in the aquarium, and I was going 350 00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,960 Speaker 3: through this whole health element trying to get people to 351 00:18:53,000 --> 00:18:56,720 Speaker 3: eat more seafood. Our goal of this entire program was 352 00:18:56,760 --> 00:18:58,760 Speaker 3: to get people to eat more seafood and also more 353 00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:00,720 Speaker 3: the right types of seafoodo W gets you more into 354 00:19:00,800 --> 00:19:03,080 Speaker 3: kind of the sustainability element, which was a big piece 355 00:19:03,119 --> 00:19:07,360 Speaker 3: of my culinary manifesto. And I realized, like so many 356 00:19:07,400 --> 00:19:09,600 Speaker 3: of the bleeding causes of death can be alleviated by 357 00:19:09,640 --> 00:19:12,760 Speaker 3: some degree by consuming moral Mega three fatty acids or 358 00:19:12,800 --> 00:19:15,560 Speaker 3: at least breaking that ratio down as you mentioned, and 359 00:19:15,640 --> 00:19:18,400 Speaker 3: so while I was having these issues personally, while going 360 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:22,240 Speaker 3: through the kind of seafood element of this conversation, I realized, whoa, 361 00:19:22,280 --> 00:19:24,600 Speaker 3: it's not just we can't be eating you know, salmon 362 00:19:24,640 --> 00:19:28,040 Speaker 3: and sardine's breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So there needs to 363 00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:32,159 Speaker 3: be an amalgamation from a strategic perspective of not just 364 00:19:32,280 --> 00:19:35,640 Speaker 3: increasing our healthy threes, but decreasing our sixes. And then 365 00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,679 Speaker 3: it was at that point that I realized, wait a minute, 366 00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:40,159 Speaker 3: I'm consuming all of these unhealthy omega six Is that 367 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:42,360 Speaker 3: in products that I would think would be healthy, right, 368 00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:48,439 Speaker 3: low fat vinegrats or just generally pervaded or pitched as 369 00:19:48,520 --> 00:19:52,159 Speaker 3: healthy processed foods, right, the almond crackers, right, things that 370 00:19:52,200 --> 00:19:53,800 Speaker 3: you go to Whole Foods and you get and you're like, oh, 371 00:19:53,960 --> 00:19:55,200 Speaker 3: I'm getting the better choice. 372 00:19:56,280 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: Is it supposed to be healthy? Right? 373 00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:01,439 Speaker 3: Right? But that's so and we laugh. But that's really 374 00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 3: been the north star, I think in so many ways, 375 00:20:04,440 --> 00:20:06,920 Speaker 3: especially for working parents and people who are trying to 376 00:20:06,960 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 3: start a career, it's like, well, as long as I'm 377 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:12,800 Speaker 3: shopping at this better outlet, then it's going to be 378 00:20:12,800 --> 00:20:15,760 Speaker 3: better for me. And that's always obviously not the case. 379 00:20:15,800 --> 00:20:17,719 Speaker 3: So it's funny. When I started to cut out all 380 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,520 Speaker 3: the seed oils and neo mega six is way back 381 00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:22,679 Speaker 3: in twenty ten, my stomach problems got better, my body 382 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,560 Speaker 3: started to feel better. I actually started sleeping better, my 383 00:20:24,600 --> 00:20:26,520 Speaker 3: skin got better and I and then for me it 384 00:20:26,560 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 3: was like, Okay, even though it's anecdotal, I've got this 385 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:32,240 Speaker 3: evidence for something that's working in my body. And then 386 00:20:32,320 --> 00:20:33,680 Speaker 3: really dove deeper into that. 387 00:20:34,920 --> 00:20:36,320 Speaker 1: So here's the question I have for you. 388 00:20:36,400 --> 00:20:39,920 Speaker 2: So you are obviously very well educated, and you put 389 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 2: in the research. You probably did a food diary to 390 00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 2: figure out what it was you're eating, and you were 391 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:47,440 Speaker 2: really able to look at that for people listening who 392 00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,320 Speaker 2: probably are not going to sit down and create a 393 00:20:49,359 --> 00:20:51,520 Speaker 2: food diary, although I'll tell you I think that's one 394 00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:53,719 Speaker 2: of the best things that we as individuals can do, 395 00:20:54,080 --> 00:20:57,520 Speaker 2: because we talk so much about living our healthiest lives 396 00:20:57,560 --> 00:21:00,280 Speaker 2: and trying to be better versions of ourselves. But you 397 00:21:00,359 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 2: are what you eat, and so if you don't know 398 00:21:02,440 --> 00:21:05,960 Speaker 2: what you're consuming, then how could you even start the 399 00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,600 Speaker 2: journey of trying to live healthier. But if for people 400 00:21:09,600 --> 00:21:12,439 Speaker 2: who are just kind of looking at their diet, what 401 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:14,640 Speaker 2: do you think are like the five biggest culprits out 402 00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,200 Speaker 2: there that most people are probably that's where they're consuming 403 00:21:18,240 --> 00:21:21,880 Speaker 2: the most amount of these unhealthy omega six fatty acids. 404 00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,320 Speaker 3: Great question, So I would say just generally processed food, 405 00:21:25,359 --> 00:21:28,320 Speaker 3: because all processed food has got the omega sixes by 406 00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:30,520 Speaker 3: virtue of the seed oils in there, right, because they 407 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:35,600 Speaker 3: want to fulfill that nutritional profile that the processing requirements mandate, 408 00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:40,000 Speaker 3: and the nutritional requirements if you're a food manufacturer, so 409 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:42,440 Speaker 3: it's like you got to have these omega sixes also 410 00:21:42,520 --> 00:21:44,400 Speaker 3: fat as flavors. So a lot of times these food 411 00:21:44,440 --> 00:21:47,359 Speaker 3: manufacturers put the omega sixes in there by way of 412 00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:50,160 Speaker 3: these different seed oils to make the food more appetizing 413 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:51,840 Speaker 3: and to give it more of that kind of wholesome 414 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,920 Speaker 3: finish by way of the fat on your palate. Right. 415 00:21:54,920 --> 00:21:56,840 Speaker 3: So any process food, and by that I'm talking like 416 00:21:57,119 --> 00:22:01,480 Speaker 3: granola bars and these you know, quasi healthy crackers, chips, 417 00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:04,359 Speaker 3: the going out to eat fast food. Anytime you go 418 00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,159 Speaker 3: out to eat at any restaurant. And I hate to 419 00:22:06,160 --> 00:22:08,720 Speaker 3: say this because in a way I'm kind of hedging 420 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,119 Speaker 3: against my own industry, but anytime you go out to 421 00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,480 Speaker 3: eat any restaurant, they are caking everything in soybean oil. 422 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 3: They call it liquid margarine, which to me is kind 423 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:20,920 Speaker 3: of ironic because margarine is actually just solidified seed oil. 424 00:22:20,960 --> 00:22:23,359 Speaker 3: So it's effectively liquid margarine is just seed oil. But 425 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,520 Speaker 3: it's these bake butter products that restaurants are using because 426 00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,200 Speaker 3: they're cheap, and they're not doing it because they're trying 427 00:22:28,240 --> 00:22:29,920 Speaker 3: to get you sick. So anytime you go out to 428 00:22:29,960 --> 00:22:33,359 Speaker 3: eat at a restaurant, everything is caked in those those 429 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 3: Omega six is. Even things that taste rich and buttery, 430 00:22:37,119 --> 00:22:39,560 Speaker 3: a lot of times they're like a margarine butter combo. 431 00:22:39,920 --> 00:22:42,040 Speaker 3: So you know, you're having these mashed potatoes thinking it's 432 00:22:42,040 --> 00:22:44,320 Speaker 3: whole butter and it's healthy, and it's just potato and butter, 433 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:47,280 Speaker 3: which is rich and decadent. But a lot of times 434 00:22:47,320 --> 00:22:50,800 Speaker 3: that's seed oils in there. I say, going out to eat, right, 435 00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:54,440 Speaker 3: all these highly processed foods and then even things even meats, right, 436 00:22:54,920 --> 00:22:56,600 Speaker 3: you know a lot of these fatty are cuts that 437 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 3: we love because they're so marbled and that's what gives 438 00:22:59,800 --> 00:23:02,280 Speaker 3: you that unctuous bite and that beautiful finish when you 439 00:23:02,280 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 3: see that ribi with like the beautiful marbling on the inside. 440 00:23:05,160 --> 00:23:08,800 Speaker 3: Those are highly grain fed animals that could be high 441 00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:10,960 Speaker 3: in omega sixes by way of all that grain that 442 00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,480 Speaker 3: they're eating, you know, soybean refused, what have you in 443 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:17,040 Speaker 3: a commercial setting. So that's where I started moving to 444 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:20,080 Speaker 3: more of the kind of healthier it can be grade 445 00:23:20,240 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 3: grain fed or grass finished even will actually bring down 446 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:28,640 Speaker 3: that six profile. So you know, chips, processed foods, restaurant foods, 447 00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:32,360 Speaker 3: and then like things like vinaigrettes, right, vinaigrettes sauce, his condiments. 448 00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:34,760 Speaker 3: These are the things that we consume every single day 449 00:23:34,760 --> 00:23:37,359 Speaker 3: that we don't think about. But that's where you're gonna 450 00:23:37,359 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 3: find a bevy of these these unhealthy oils. You know, 451 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,720 Speaker 3: if you broke down like a hidden valley ranch. I 452 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:46,439 Speaker 3: just saw reel on Instagram or something. It was like 453 00:23:47,040 --> 00:23:49,560 Speaker 3: they took the bottle and they actually built the ingredients 454 00:23:49,600 --> 00:23:51,920 Speaker 3: without it being emulsified, and they poured everything in there 455 00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:53,280 Speaker 3: and it was three quarters of the way it was 456 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:56,719 Speaker 3: just straight low quality canola oil. And then you know 457 00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:58,919 Speaker 3: a bunch of zantam gum and karagene and some of 458 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,840 Speaker 3: these other chemicals in there that could also be questionable. 459 00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,119 Speaker 2: Well, you know, so if we start looking at these 460 00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:08,160 Speaker 2: ingredients and actually really pay attention because you're absolutely right. 461 00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 2: If you look at a vinigarrette, you're like, well, this 462 00:24:10,280 --> 00:24:11,280 Speaker 2: is going to this is perfect. 463 00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,399 Speaker 1: It's an oil and it's a vinegar. How can this 464 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:14,199 Speaker 1: be bad for you? 465 00:24:14,280 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 2: But as you're saying, you know, these are these mass 466 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:21,959 Speaker 2: product you know, industrial production from low cost, long shelf life. 467 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,119 Speaker 2: If it's going to stay in your pantry and not 468 00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,119 Speaker 2: go bad for a long time, it's probably not healthy 469 00:24:27,160 --> 00:24:30,399 Speaker 2: for you. But what can we actually do, Like what 470 00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,280 Speaker 2: are just easy to do replacements that are maybe healthier versions, 471 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:36,320 Speaker 2: Like I mean, I would guess so instead of like 472 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: the store bought vinegarrette, just get your own olive oil 473 00:24:39,520 --> 00:24:40,320 Speaker 2: and vinegar. 474 00:24:41,119 --> 00:24:42,919 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean, it's really that simple. And this has 475 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:49,080 Speaker 3: kind of been the genesis of my more approachable content 476 00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,840 Speaker 3: towards getting families in the kitchen and getting individuals in 477 00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:54,200 Speaker 3: the kitchen and really just having one more meal a week, 478 00:24:54,280 --> 00:24:56,879 Speaker 3: or having one ingredient that you make at home that 479 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,320 Speaker 3: you utilize throughout the week, whether it's a vinegarrette, whether 480 00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,399 Speaker 3: it's a sauce, it's a condiment, because those are the 481 00:25:01,440 --> 00:25:03,639 Speaker 3: things that we put on all of our foods. So 482 00:25:03,720 --> 00:25:05,640 Speaker 3: once again, even if you were keeping a food diary 483 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 3: a lot of times because I caught myself doing this. 484 00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,320 Speaker 3: I'm writing, you know, chicken sandwich, right, but I'm not 485 00:25:10,320 --> 00:25:12,480 Speaker 3: thinking like, oh, well, there's probably an ouncer announced and 486 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:15,320 Speaker 3: a half a mayonnaise on there, which is realistically ninety 487 00:25:15,320 --> 00:25:18,359 Speaker 3: percent just soybean oil. Right. So when you're chugging a 488 00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:21,639 Speaker 3: shot of soybean oil five times a day, that's adding 489 00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:24,560 Speaker 3: up picking some of those ingredients that you can put 490 00:25:24,560 --> 00:25:26,159 Speaker 3: back in your fridge that you make at home. So 491 00:25:26,320 --> 00:25:28,240 Speaker 3: using a vinaigrett as an example, and once again I 492 00:25:28,240 --> 00:25:30,520 Speaker 3: should stay on the vinegrette a lot of times. Most 493 00:25:30,560 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 3: olive oil this is marketed is like an olive oil vinegrette. 494 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:36,200 Speaker 3: It's ninety percent canola oil ten percent olive oil because 495 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,560 Speaker 3: there's no mandate, like you can call it an olive 496 00:25:38,560 --> 00:25:41,080 Speaker 3: oil vinagrett as long as there's some olive oil in there. 497 00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 3: So you're hard pressed to find a pure olive oil vinegrett. 498 00:25:44,119 --> 00:25:45,920 Speaker 3: So that's something that you can do at home. Olive 499 00:25:45,960 --> 00:25:48,200 Speaker 3: oil avocado oil, which is much lower on that little 500 00:25:48,240 --> 00:25:51,439 Speaker 3: loic acid scale, and vinegrette is the simplest thing in 501 00:25:51,440 --> 00:25:54,200 Speaker 3: the world. It's two parts. I used to do three 502 00:25:54,240 --> 00:25:57,280 Speaker 3: parts oil to one part vinegar. But in my later days, 503 00:25:57,280 --> 00:25:59,880 Speaker 3: where my palate's gotten more specific, I'm doing about two 504 00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:02,320 Speaker 3: two and a half parts oil right an extra virgin 505 00:26:02,359 --> 00:26:04,320 Speaker 3: olive oil or one of those healthier oils, to any 506 00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 3: high quality vinegar. Just put it in a jar, a 507 00:26:07,280 --> 00:26:09,919 Speaker 3: little dash of Dijon mustard, which will actually act as 508 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:14,159 Speaker 3: a natural emulsifier. Most of the commercially produced products have 509 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:17,879 Speaker 3: like xantham gum and other artificial mulcifiers in there, but 510 00:26:17,920 --> 00:26:21,120 Speaker 3: I'll use Dijon mustard, which is an mulcifier fresh herbs, 511 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 3: any herbs in there that you want to add, Shake 512 00:26:23,560 --> 00:26:25,600 Speaker 3: it up, it'll come together, and that djon will hold 513 00:26:25,640 --> 00:26:27,840 Speaker 3: it and stick it right in the fridge. I'm not 514 00:26:27,880 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 3: even kidding. It's a five minute process that will cut 515 00:26:30,560 --> 00:26:34,639 Speaker 3: out so much of those bad fats from your diet. 516 00:26:35,240 --> 00:26:37,520 Speaker 2: Well, everyone listening knows that I'm a huge fan of 517 00:26:37,600 --> 00:26:40,480 Speaker 2: natural herbs. You know, we're both from or I live 518 00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:43,439 Speaker 2: in Somerset County. You're from Somerset County, New Jersey. So 519 00:26:43,560 --> 00:26:46,040 Speaker 2: I have huge herb gardens and I absolutely love it. 520 00:26:46,320 --> 00:26:47,919 Speaker 2: But I need to put my mom hat on for 521 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:49,800 Speaker 2: one second. I'm going to remove the doctor one put 522 00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,760 Speaker 2: my mom one on because you just mentioned mayonnaise, which 523 00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:56,239 Speaker 2: I mean, I've never thought mayonnaise was healthy for you. 524 00:26:56,320 --> 00:26:59,160 Speaker 2: I mean, let's be real, but I didn't realize how 525 00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:00,520 Speaker 2: unhealthy it was for us. 526 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,439 Speaker 1: And I have one kid who refuses. 527 00:27:02,880 --> 00:27:05,840 Speaker 2: To eat sandwiches without mayonnaise on it, So what can 528 00:27:05,880 --> 00:27:08,040 Speaker 2: I do to substitute that? 529 00:27:08,040 --> 00:27:10,080 Speaker 3: That's a great question. And I have four kids who 530 00:27:10,119 --> 00:27:12,520 Speaker 3: refuse to eat a sandwich without mayonnaise on it. So 531 00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:15,280 Speaker 3: I'll tell you what I did. Trick two of my 532 00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:18,760 Speaker 3: kids into eating sandwiches without mayonnaise by making compound butters. 533 00:27:18,960 --> 00:27:21,480 Speaker 3: So I would take just a good grass fed butter, 534 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,480 Speaker 3: soften it a little bit, and then i'd mix in 535 00:27:23,560 --> 00:27:25,879 Speaker 3: like some chopped garlic and some fresh herbs. One of 536 00:27:25,920 --> 00:27:27,399 Speaker 3: them didn't like the herbs in there, so I just 537 00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,159 Speaker 3: started doing like a little bit of lemon juice to 538 00:27:29,160 --> 00:27:31,119 Speaker 3: make the flavors pop. And then as long as I 539 00:27:31,119 --> 00:27:33,440 Speaker 3: spread it on the sandwich at room temperature, they don't 540 00:27:33,440 --> 00:27:36,320 Speaker 3: necessarily know the difference because it's fulfilling that role of 541 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:38,840 Speaker 3: kind of coating the palate and making all the flavors 542 00:27:38,840 --> 00:27:41,959 Speaker 3: a little bit richer. For the other kids that I 543 00:27:41,960 --> 00:27:44,800 Speaker 3: couldn't do if you will. I just started making mayonnaise 544 00:27:44,840 --> 00:27:46,479 Speaker 3: at home. I mean it's really easy to do. It's 545 00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:51,080 Speaker 3: the exact same approach that you would use for the vinagrette. Right. 546 00:27:51,119 --> 00:27:54,399 Speaker 3: So mayonnaise is really nothing more that it's an emulsion 547 00:27:54,720 --> 00:27:58,080 Speaker 3: between vinegar and oil, right, And that's what I just 548 00:27:58,119 --> 00:28:01,600 Speaker 3: described with the with the vinaigrette. The only difference is 549 00:28:01,600 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 3: that you actually use an egg yolk as the emulsifier 550 00:28:04,680 --> 00:28:06,840 Speaker 3: because the egg yolk will pull it together and it'll 551 00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:09,399 Speaker 3: also add richness. So making a mayonnaise at home is 552 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:11,159 Speaker 3: really easy. You can do it in a blender, you 553 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,640 Speaker 3: can do it in a bowl. I do one egg 554 00:28:13,720 --> 00:28:16,960 Speaker 3: yolk and then I do like one lemon and roughly 555 00:28:17,240 --> 00:28:19,600 Speaker 3: a cup of avocado oil, and I just whisk it 556 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:22,960 Speaker 3: until it's fully emulsified and pulled together with Once again, 557 00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:24,880 Speaker 3: I'll add a little bit of Dejon mustard in there, 558 00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 3: and you've got your own mayonnaise with the avocado oil. 559 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,480 Speaker 3: It's really simple. I've got it all over my channels 560 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,399 Speaker 3: because I was trying to impress upon everybody how easy 561 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,920 Speaker 3: it was to make. And it costs, you know, I mean, 562 00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,240 Speaker 3: it ends up costing like two fifty three dollars, but 563 00:28:38,320 --> 00:28:40,840 Speaker 3: you know, one of those jars of avocado mayonnaise is 564 00:28:41,960 --> 00:28:45,160 Speaker 3: like nine dollars or ten dollars, and it's actually a 565 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:47,560 Speaker 3: much higher quality product too. My kids absolutely love it. 566 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:49,480 Speaker 3: I taught them how to make it, which is fun 567 00:28:49,520 --> 00:28:52,480 Speaker 3: because it's a two person job. One can whisk whisk 568 00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 3: the oil in and the other one. And you know 569 00:28:54,560 --> 00:28:56,400 Speaker 3: how much kids love kind of playing in the kitchen, 570 00:28:56,440 --> 00:28:58,600 Speaker 3: whether it's fresh made, making a mess in the kitchen, 571 00:28:59,120 --> 00:29:01,960 Speaker 3: making a mess, making a huge mess. But you know what, 572 00:29:02,080 --> 00:29:03,520 Speaker 3: you know what, I've realized there's going to be a 573 00:29:03,560 --> 00:29:06,320 Speaker 3: mess inevitably, like you can have an empty kitchen and 574 00:29:06,360 --> 00:29:08,400 Speaker 3: somehow they make a mess. 575 00:29:08,400 --> 00:29:10,520 Speaker 2: True, But you know what, then they get to clean 576 00:29:10,520 --> 00:29:12,840 Speaker 2: it up. And that's another lesson learned. You make a mess, 577 00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:15,560 Speaker 2: you get a clean up. Parenting takes a galore here 578 00:29:15,600 --> 00:29:18,320 Speaker 2: on Wellness Unmasked. You know, one more thing I wanted 579 00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,640 Speaker 2: to talk to you about is because I've heard you 580 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,920 Speaker 2: talk about this before, and I, honest to goodness, I 581 00:29:22,960 --> 00:29:26,680 Speaker 2: had never heard about beef tallow prior to the last 582 00:29:26,760 --> 00:29:28,920 Speaker 2: few months. I mean, I know, I know, I don't 583 00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 2: know why I don't know about this, but all of 584 00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:33,320 Speaker 2: a sudden, I'm hearing about beef tallow everywhere. 585 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:35,080 Speaker 1: Can you please just give me a rundown on what 586 00:29:35,120 --> 00:29:35,440 Speaker 1: this is? 587 00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:37,880 Speaker 3: Well, it comes down to that six and three that 588 00:29:37,920 --> 00:29:40,080 Speaker 3: we're talking about, right, Everything comes back to this, it 589 00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,920 Speaker 3: seems like. So for us, I'll give you a little 590 00:29:42,920 --> 00:29:46,040 Speaker 3: story and an answer your question. So we actually switched 591 00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:49,400 Speaker 3: in all of our restaurants way back in like twenty eighteen, 592 00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,560 Speaker 3: twenty nineteen, away from all of the segos, the soybean oils, 593 00:29:52,560 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 3: the canola oils because of what I realized and I 594 00:29:55,200 --> 00:29:58,120 Speaker 3: knew I needed like more of the saturated, high quality 595 00:29:58,160 --> 00:30:01,400 Speaker 3: fats animal fats, right, so butter or a gee duck fat. 596 00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:03,280 Speaker 3: We were using a lot of schmaltz. We were using 597 00:30:03,320 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 3: a lot of our rendered poor fat from different products, 598 00:30:05,600 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 3: so like a natural lard. And then the beef towel 599 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,920 Speaker 3: was incredibly cheap at the time, and I'm like, oh, well, 600 00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:12,480 Speaker 3: it makes complete sense to cook in beef toalle. So 601 00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,640 Speaker 3: we tried frying in all these different oils, and I 602 00:30:14,760 --> 00:30:17,360 Speaker 3: liked beeftel the most because it actually was the lightest 603 00:30:17,640 --> 00:30:20,120 Speaker 3: in the finish, in the flavor, but it also was 604 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:23,480 Speaker 3: pretty rich. So that was what we started doing years ago, 605 00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,840 Speaker 3: which is why I love now that finally things have 606 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:27,800 Speaker 3: caught up. I felt like I was a crazy guy 607 00:30:27,840 --> 00:30:31,120 Speaker 3: doing this in twenty eighteen, twenty nineteen. So what it 608 00:30:31,160 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 3: does is is that because you're not getting that bitter 609 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:36,160 Speaker 3: after taste that you otherwise would get from the Omega 610 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:39,160 Speaker 3: six fatty acids, all those oils are so highly processed, 611 00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:41,680 Speaker 3: and you can I don't recommend you do this, but 612 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,000 Speaker 3: if you want to, you can do a taste test 613 00:30:43,040 --> 00:30:45,440 Speaker 3: where you actually taste like butter and then rinse your 614 00:30:45,440 --> 00:30:46,960 Speaker 3: mouth out and then do like a little bit of 615 00:30:46,960 --> 00:30:50,040 Speaker 3: seed oil, and your palate will be finished with this acrid, 616 00:30:50,720 --> 00:30:53,520 Speaker 3: highly processed bitter taste in your mouth that will linger 617 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,680 Speaker 3: for probably five minutes. Well, from a chef's perspective, we're 618 00:30:56,680 --> 00:30:59,200 Speaker 3: trying to get rid of those types of negatives when 619 00:30:59,200 --> 00:31:02,320 Speaker 3: it comes to the palate and the taste finish. So 620 00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,480 Speaker 3: I switched over to the beef tallow and no unnatural 621 00:31:06,560 --> 00:31:09,720 Speaker 3: lingering off flavors. It was just the cleanest right so 622 00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:13,200 Speaker 3: from strictly from a culinary perspective, for me, that was 623 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,200 Speaker 3: the right fat to use. It was higher quality, much cleaner. 624 00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 3: So we made the switch. But then I started having 625 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,040 Speaker 3: customers come to me immediately and they're like, why can 626 00:31:22,120 --> 00:31:24,440 Speaker 3: I go to your restaurant, eat your fries, eat your 627 00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,840 Speaker 3: fish and chips, whatever it is that's being fried. And 628 00:31:26,880 --> 00:31:29,480 Speaker 3: I don't feel heavy, and I don't feel full afterwards, 629 00:31:29,600 --> 00:31:31,520 Speaker 3: you know, they feel full, but they don't just kind 630 00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:33,680 Speaker 3: of drag themselves through the rest of the day. And 631 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:36,480 Speaker 3: then I was like, it's the beef tallow. And so 632 00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:38,920 Speaker 3: I think a lot of people have, because of this 633 00:31:39,040 --> 00:31:42,280 Speaker 3: conversation about the seed oils, have moved over to these 634 00:31:42,280 --> 00:31:44,600 Speaker 3: animal fasts and they've tasted and they've realized the change 635 00:31:44,640 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 3: that they feel in their body and both the palate 636 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,880 Speaker 3: and an ultimately kind of the culinary mind. So it's 637 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:55,040 Speaker 3: moved America into this quasi obsession with the beef tallow, 638 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 3: which I frankly believe is a good thing. 639 00:31:58,520 --> 00:32:00,240 Speaker 1: Well, you know, it kind of reminds me of like 640 00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:00,960 Speaker 1: one eye. 641 00:32:00,960 --> 00:32:04,800 Speaker 2: So this last year we took our kids to Italy 642 00:32:04,840 --> 00:32:07,960 Speaker 2: for the first time. It was an amazing trip, obviously 643 00:32:08,000 --> 00:32:10,560 Speaker 2: the food and the sites, but you could eat pasta 644 00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,960 Speaker 2: three meals a day there. Yes, you're walking more, but 645 00:32:13,040 --> 00:32:16,479 Speaker 2: you don't feel that same heaviness because I mean, it 646 00:32:16,520 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 2: has to be the fact that obviously the pasta is 647 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,320 Speaker 2: made fresh, the dose made fresh, the vegetables are fresh. 648 00:32:21,320 --> 00:32:23,680 Speaker 2: I mean, they're literally like in a garden out back, 649 00:32:24,520 --> 00:32:27,920 Speaker 2: So you're not having that heavily processed stuff that we 650 00:32:28,040 --> 00:32:29,360 Speaker 2: see here in the United States. 651 00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:31,400 Speaker 1: But you know one thing that you said earlier that 652 00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:32,640 Speaker 1: really caught my attention. 653 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,360 Speaker 2: You said, you know, the restaurants and the food industries, 654 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:40,600 Speaker 2: they're using all of these unhealthy seed oils, but you said, 655 00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:43,760 Speaker 2: they're not trying to make us sick, right, I mean, 656 00:32:43,840 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 2: and that's kind of the conversation right now. You start 657 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:48,920 Speaker 2: hearing a lot of people saying, oh that the industry 658 00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:51,640 Speaker 2: they're trying to keep us sick, because you know, the 659 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,920 Speaker 2: healthcare industry just likes to treat disease. And unfortunately, I 660 00:32:54,920 --> 00:32:57,800 Speaker 2: can as a physician, I can appreciate what people are saying. 661 00:32:57,880 --> 00:33:01,160 Speaker 2: We certainly do practice reactive us in we're all about 662 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:04,440 Speaker 2: treating the disease and we're less focus on preventing the 663 00:33:04,480 --> 00:33:07,160 Speaker 2: disease in the first place. But just like you're saying, 664 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 2: it's like the food industry, specifically here in the United States, 665 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:14,800 Speaker 2: adopted these seed oils kind of industrialize them because they're 666 00:33:14,920 --> 00:33:19,160 Speaker 2: cheap and they last long. Unfortunately, there's just consequences. 667 00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,160 Speaker 3: It's all bottom line, right, So you know it's not 668 00:33:23,200 --> 00:33:25,560 Speaker 3: triple bottom line. I say, triple bottom line is people 669 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:29,920 Speaker 3: planet profit. It's single bottom line. So you're right, it's 670 00:33:29,960 --> 00:33:32,480 Speaker 3: the shelf life which ultimately leads to a better bottom line. 671 00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,120 Speaker 3: Let's turnover on inventory. And then for the restaurants, it's 672 00:33:35,120 --> 00:33:38,120 Speaker 3: like always trying to keep that cost of goods in line. 673 00:33:38,280 --> 00:33:41,160 Speaker 3: And you know, we get marketed too. So starting when 674 00:33:41,200 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 3: I started owning and operating restaurants all the way back 675 00:33:44,400 --> 00:33:46,760 Speaker 3: in two thousand and six, two thousand and seven, you know, 676 00:33:46,840 --> 00:33:50,040 Speaker 3: we were just getting heavily marketed these wonder oils that 677 00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:53,080 Speaker 3: were only fifteen dollars for a jib, which is a 678 00:33:53,160 --> 00:33:55,680 Speaker 3: jug in a box forty five pounds, and it's like, wow, 679 00:33:55,720 --> 00:33:58,400 Speaker 3: we can really, you know, we can use this on everything. Now, 680 00:33:58,400 --> 00:34:00,280 Speaker 3: we can replace our olive oils and we can place 681 00:34:00,320 --> 00:34:03,000 Speaker 3: our butters. And then we had the kind of medical 682 00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:05,320 Speaker 3: industrial complex telling us, no, this is great, these are 683 00:34:05,320 --> 00:34:07,960 Speaker 3: wonderful alternatives because the saturated fats are going to lead 684 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:11,279 Speaker 3: to heart disease and high cholesterol, etc. We can speculate 685 00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:14,560 Speaker 3: as to the conspiracy behind any of that, I'll leave 686 00:34:14,560 --> 00:34:16,920 Speaker 3: that up to other people. But strictly from the restaurant 687 00:34:16,960 --> 00:34:20,000 Speaker 3: tourist perspective, I mean, we weren't thinking about the health 688 00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,279 Speaker 3: at the time. It was always about really serving the 689 00:34:22,320 --> 00:34:25,239 Speaker 3: best food or what we were educated upon as being 690 00:34:25,280 --> 00:34:28,600 Speaker 3: the best food at the best price. Now, once again, 691 00:34:28,960 --> 00:34:32,799 Speaker 3: you know some of the some of the I don't 692 00:34:32,800 --> 00:34:34,640 Speaker 3: want to call it evil, but perhaps some of the 693 00:34:35,440 --> 00:34:38,759 Speaker 3: negative intent was coming through the supply chain by way 694 00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,919 Speaker 3: of the massive food manufacturers that were marketing it to us. 695 00:34:42,280 --> 00:34:44,280 Speaker 3: We don't have times as chefs who are working fourteen 696 00:34:44,360 --> 00:34:46,440 Speaker 3: sixteen hours a day, seven days a week, to be 697 00:34:46,520 --> 00:34:49,319 Speaker 3: able to go into these deep nutritional deep dives on 698 00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:51,200 Speaker 3: all the products. So I think that's where it just 699 00:34:51,239 --> 00:34:53,719 Speaker 3: became kind of the muscle memory, if you will, or 700 00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,560 Speaker 3: the culinary muscle memory, to just constantly be using those 701 00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:59,239 Speaker 3: seed oils. Now, fast forward to today, where a lot 702 00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:02,239 Speaker 3: of restaurants are trying to switch over. The supply chain 703 00:35:02,280 --> 00:35:04,520 Speaker 3: is so broken that many of them we've been doing 704 00:35:04,560 --> 00:35:06,160 Speaker 3: it for years, so it was already in our in 705 00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:09,000 Speaker 3: kind of our business calculus. Many of them are now 706 00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,719 Speaker 3: not able to operate at a in a profitable or 707 00:35:13,760 --> 00:35:15,959 Speaker 3: even a break even setting. By using some of these 708 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,080 Speaker 3: highly saturated fasts, which are we're now learning our higher 709 00:35:19,200 --> 00:35:22,160 Speaker 3: quality even from a culinary perspective. So that's kind of 710 00:35:22,160 --> 00:35:24,279 Speaker 3: the quandary that we're in right now from a food 711 00:35:24,280 --> 00:35:27,480 Speaker 3: service perspective. And that's why I say it's not like 712 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,560 Speaker 3: restaurant tours are out there trying to make you sick. 713 00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,759 Speaker 3: They don't want to and they want to be on 714 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,640 Speaker 3: the front end of what's right. But we just need 715 00:35:34,680 --> 00:35:36,600 Speaker 3: to be able to clean up the supply chain to 716 00:35:36,640 --> 00:35:38,000 Speaker 3: make those products available. 717 00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:39,759 Speaker 1: Well, so what is I mean? 718 00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,360 Speaker 2: Obviously you're a chef, but you're also a counselman, so 719 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:46,279 Speaker 2: you are someone who's tasked with making change, Like, what 720 00:35:46,400 --> 00:35:48,799 Speaker 2: is the path forward? How do we other than you know, 721 00:35:48,880 --> 00:35:51,480 Speaker 2: the government stepping in and saying you're not allowed to 722 00:35:51,520 --> 00:35:53,720 Speaker 2: serve this anymore. But as you're saying, that doesn't necessarily 723 00:35:53,719 --> 00:35:55,880 Speaker 2: fix the problem because then you're going to have restaurants 724 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:58,120 Speaker 2: going out of business and people at a job. 725 00:35:58,200 --> 00:36:00,680 Speaker 1: So how do we fix this? What the path forward? 726 00:36:00,680 --> 00:36:03,560 Speaker 2: Because I can tell you from a scientific research perspective, 727 00:36:03,840 --> 00:36:06,360 Speaker 2: it is clear to us that there is some correlation 728 00:36:06,560 --> 00:36:09,480 Speaker 2: between the seed oils and some of the other unhealthy 729 00:36:09,719 --> 00:36:13,080 Speaker 2: ultra processed foods that we're consuming and chronic illness. The 730 00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:16,040 Speaker 2: science is there, it's a known fact. Okay, there's correlation 731 00:36:16,160 --> 00:36:19,520 Speaker 2: between disease and our consumption, but what is actually that 732 00:36:19,560 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 2: path forward? 733 00:36:21,040 --> 00:36:23,400 Speaker 3: Well, I don't think the government should step in more 734 00:36:23,440 --> 00:36:26,000 Speaker 3: than they've already done, right, because the bigger the government's got, 735 00:36:26,040 --> 00:36:27,920 Speaker 3: the sicker we've gotten. So I think we need to 736 00:36:28,000 --> 00:36:30,840 Speaker 3: recognize that perhaps the government is part of the problem, 737 00:36:31,120 --> 00:36:34,160 Speaker 3: and that could be an aptitude, or it could part 738 00:36:34,160 --> 00:36:36,520 Speaker 3: of it could be intentional, or there's just some financial 739 00:36:36,719 --> 00:36:40,680 Speaker 3: incentive within that kind of decision making process. Well, I 740 00:36:40,680 --> 00:36:43,080 Speaker 3: would say the government also should not be banning any 741 00:36:43,080 --> 00:36:45,239 Speaker 3: products because I think that's a slippery slope and SE's 742 00:36:45,280 --> 00:36:47,920 Speaker 3: a pretty dangerous precedent. What I think the government can 743 00:36:48,040 --> 00:36:50,680 Speaker 3: and should do is they should look at it strictly 744 00:36:50,719 --> 00:36:54,759 Speaker 3: from incentivizing, change the incentive structure. Right, you want to 745 00:36:54,800 --> 00:36:57,520 Speaker 3: fix a problem, change the entire incentive structure. So why 746 00:36:57,520 --> 00:37:00,000 Speaker 3: are we incentivized to only use seed oils because it's 747 00:37:00,120 --> 00:37:02,640 Speaker 3: cheap and it's readily available. Well, there you go, Right, 748 00:37:02,680 --> 00:37:04,280 Speaker 3: those are the two things that we need to target 749 00:37:04,360 --> 00:37:07,080 Speaker 3: in on. So if we can take all these other 750 00:37:07,120 --> 00:37:11,680 Speaker 3: healthy fats, which funny enough, now are by products. They're 751 00:37:11,719 --> 00:37:16,560 Speaker 3: not available because they're expensive. It's because they've now been 752 00:37:16,600 --> 00:37:20,439 Speaker 3: stitched into so many other industries pet food, biofuels, right 753 00:37:20,800 --> 00:37:24,400 Speaker 3: that they're being used in those industries as buy products, 754 00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:28,640 Speaker 3: cheap by products. So the government can actually incentivize financially 755 00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:31,000 Speaker 3: a way in which we get all of those products 756 00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:33,359 Speaker 3: back into the food chain, not all of them, right, 757 00:37:33,400 --> 00:37:35,160 Speaker 3: we can still fulfill the demand for some of those 758 00:37:35,160 --> 00:37:37,400 Speaker 3: other industries, get them into the food chain so that 759 00:37:37,440 --> 00:37:39,839 Speaker 3: we increase the supply of those products, make them get 760 00:37:39,880 --> 00:37:43,280 Speaker 3: it so that they're easier to receive from a restaurant 761 00:37:43,320 --> 00:37:47,080 Speaker 3: tourist perspective, which is and you're probably thinking right now, well, 762 00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:49,080 Speaker 3: how do you do that? Very easy? Right? I mean 763 00:37:49,160 --> 00:37:52,640 Speaker 3: the government literally, whether it's through the USDA or any 764 00:37:53,160 --> 00:37:57,400 Speaker 3: subsidiary agencies, they can actually get those products, right, pork 765 00:37:57,440 --> 00:38:00,560 Speaker 3: fat or lard beef. Tallow get to the ranchers, get 766 00:38:00,600 --> 00:38:03,200 Speaker 3: to the farmers and the processors of those fats, and 767 00:38:03,480 --> 00:38:06,239 Speaker 3: get them directly to one of the three massive food 768 00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,080 Speaker 3: purveyors in the United States, which is Cisco, US Foods 769 00:38:09,080 --> 00:38:12,200 Speaker 3: and PFG perhaps or some of the other guys and 770 00:38:12,480 --> 00:38:15,880 Speaker 3: make them available within the next month, which can be 771 00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,040 Speaker 3: done to the restaurant community and the food service community, 772 00:38:19,120 --> 00:38:21,560 Speaker 3: especially large food service. The era marks of the world, 773 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:25,240 Speaker 3: you know, the airports, the hospitals, et cetera. Which hospitals. 774 00:38:25,239 --> 00:38:27,160 Speaker 3: We can have a whole other conversation another time. So 775 00:38:27,160 --> 00:38:29,520 Speaker 3: that's number one, and the number two. If they have 776 00:38:29,560 --> 00:38:32,960 Speaker 3: to subsidize this, subsidize it. Because I've always said, right, 777 00:38:33,040 --> 00:38:35,360 Speaker 3: like especially now being in city council. It's so funny. 778 00:38:35,360 --> 00:38:37,319 Speaker 3: I'm like a libertarian at heart, but now here I 779 00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:39,960 Speaker 3: realize in my role as a city councilman, we get 780 00:38:39,960 --> 00:38:43,279 Speaker 3: our revenue through taxes. So I'm just consistently conflicted. But 781 00:38:43,800 --> 00:38:46,520 Speaker 3: you know, we can subsidize certain industries as long as 782 00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:48,120 Speaker 3: we can prove that there's going to be an equal 783 00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:50,919 Speaker 3: offset with a little bit of you know, a little 784 00:38:50,920 --> 00:38:53,960 Speaker 3: bit of a gain. Right, And I think just the 785 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:56,799 Speaker 3: purpose for the purposes of looking at our healthcare costs, right, 786 00:38:56,880 --> 00:38:59,160 Speaker 3: if we get healthier. Right now, we're spending twenty percent 787 00:38:59,200 --> 00:39:02,120 Speaker 3: of our entire fed federal budget on healthcare, and that's 788 00:39:02,160 --> 00:39:04,920 Speaker 3: only going up at a rapid pace. If we get healthier, 789 00:39:05,120 --> 00:39:06,680 Speaker 3: those costs are going to come down and in the 790 00:39:06,680 --> 00:39:08,240 Speaker 3: long run, we're going to save a ton of money. 791 00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,800 Speaker 3: So if you've got to subsidize the fat industry within 792 00:39:13,000 --> 00:39:15,799 Speaker 3: the restaurant or food service world and food manufacturing to 793 00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:18,200 Speaker 3: get the right fats into the right products to make 794 00:39:18,239 --> 00:39:23,360 Speaker 3: them more approachable for the manufacturers and the US producers, 795 00:39:23,480 --> 00:39:25,200 Speaker 3: well then you do that, because that's how we got 796 00:39:25,200 --> 00:39:27,720 Speaker 3: into this problem in the first place, was by subsidizing 797 00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:31,680 Speaker 3: all of these commodity products corn, soybeans, right and creating 798 00:39:31,840 --> 00:39:34,600 Speaker 3: cheap buy products. That's exactly how we got here in 799 00:39:34,600 --> 00:39:36,600 Speaker 3: the first place. So if anybody in government wants to 800 00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:37,840 Speaker 3: tell me, well, I don't know how we're going to 801 00:39:37,880 --> 00:39:40,000 Speaker 3: do that economically, you know exactly how you're going to 802 00:39:40,080 --> 00:39:40,319 Speaker 3: do that. 803 00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,239 Speaker 2: Well, I mean, I think it's really interesting that, first 804 00:39:43,239 --> 00:39:46,680 Speaker 2: of all, talking about incentivizing when it comes to people's 805 00:39:46,719 --> 00:39:48,120 Speaker 2: health and healthcare, I mean, you're preaching to. 806 00:39:48,120 --> 00:39:48,839 Speaker 1: The choir there. 807 00:39:49,640 --> 00:39:53,160 Speaker 2: One thing is that for me personally and my family 808 00:39:53,239 --> 00:39:54,400 Speaker 2: and kind of some of the stuff that I like 809 00:39:54,440 --> 00:39:56,600 Speaker 2: to publicly talk about is you have to do what 810 00:39:56,640 --> 00:39:58,680 Speaker 2: you can to eat healthy at home as much as 811 00:39:58,680 --> 00:40:01,560 Speaker 2: possible so that you can can go out to restaurants 812 00:40:01,640 --> 00:40:02,440 Speaker 2: and you. 813 00:40:02,400 --> 00:40:04,800 Speaker 1: Know, maybe that is not where you have to overly regulate. 814 00:40:04,920 --> 00:40:07,000 Speaker 2: You can go and you can have your everything in 815 00:40:07,080 --> 00:40:09,439 Speaker 2: moderation meal as long as the rest of the days 816 00:40:09,440 --> 00:40:12,440 Speaker 2: of the week you're at home, not having the seed oils, 817 00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:14,799 Speaker 2: not having built to process foods. You know, I don't 818 00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:18,120 Speaker 2: think that we need to eradicate things altogether, but we 819 00:40:18,160 --> 00:40:19,840 Speaker 2: need to be more transparent in the things that we 820 00:40:19,880 --> 00:40:22,239 Speaker 2: are consuming. People need to be educated on that, and 821 00:40:22,280 --> 00:40:24,400 Speaker 2: we have to make sure that it's affordable and specifically 822 00:40:24,480 --> 00:40:26,840 Speaker 2: people who you know, are in the lower income areas, 823 00:40:26,880 --> 00:40:29,600 Speaker 2: that they have access to the healthier foods because unfortunately, 824 00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,720 Speaker 2: they rely more on these processed foods because they're cheaper, 825 00:40:32,800 --> 00:40:36,239 Speaker 2: because the longer health shelf lives, and the fast food. So, 826 00:40:36,680 --> 00:40:38,920 Speaker 2: I mean, it's a big problem right now. It seems 827 00:40:38,960 --> 00:40:42,319 Speaker 2: like RFK Junior and the administration obviously that this is. 828 00:40:42,239 --> 00:40:44,359 Speaker 1: In the forefront of make America healthy again. 829 00:40:44,440 --> 00:40:47,200 Speaker 2: They're tackling it, as you're saying, by their kind of 830 00:40:47,480 --> 00:40:50,759 Speaker 2: going after removing some of the things from the industry. 831 00:40:50,920 --> 00:40:51,960 Speaker 1: I also worry. 832 00:40:51,680 --> 00:40:54,239 Speaker 2: About government overreach a little bit, but I'm glad to 833 00:40:54,320 --> 00:40:56,520 Speaker 2: at least see that the conversation is being had. 834 00:40:57,480 --> 00:40:59,280 Speaker 3: Yeah, and I think that the things that they're changing 835 00:40:59,320 --> 00:41:02,000 Speaker 3: are actually they're removing government overreach. A lot of times 836 00:41:02,040 --> 00:41:03,719 Speaker 3: people are like, well, you know, kind of some of 837 00:41:03,719 --> 00:41:06,520 Speaker 3: the hard right anti government folks are saying, well, look 838 00:41:06,560 --> 00:41:08,520 Speaker 3: look at what they're doing to change this and change this. 839 00:41:08,560 --> 00:41:12,040 Speaker 3: That's government overreach. No, they're undoing government overreach. I mean, 840 00:41:12,200 --> 00:41:14,400 Speaker 3: look at the gross loophole. I think that's amazing that 841 00:41:14,400 --> 00:41:16,960 Speaker 3: that was already that they're closing that gross loophole, because 842 00:41:17,120 --> 00:41:19,440 Speaker 3: that was really the window through which they were slipping 843 00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:22,480 Speaker 3: in so many of these bad products. And for those watching, 844 00:41:22,480 --> 00:41:25,400 Speaker 3: the gross loophole, which was generally recognized as safe, was 845 00:41:25,440 --> 00:41:27,840 Speaker 3: kind of a way in which you could get basic 846 00:41:27,880 --> 00:41:30,440 Speaker 3: products into foods without having to go through the government 847 00:41:30,680 --> 00:41:33,719 Speaker 3: the regulatory gauntlet of getting them approved. But originally it 848 00:41:33,760 --> 00:41:36,560 Speaker 3: was intended for things that we know right generally recognize 849 00:41:36,560 --> 00:41:40,000 Speaker 3: as safe, so flour, vinegar, salt, pepper, right like those 850 00:41:40,120 --> 00:41:42,799 Speaker 3: very basic pantry items. And then they started slipping in 851 00:41:42,840 --> 00:41:44,920 Speaker 3: more and a little bit more, and then ultimately the 852 00:41:44,960 --> 00:41:47,360 Speaker 3: food manufacturers realized that, hey, if we write some of 853 00:41:47,360 --> 00:41:49,720 Speaker 3: our own studies, we can slip some of these chemicals 854 00:41:49,719 --> 00:41:52,160 Speaker 3: in there under the gross loophole. And that's how all 855 00:41:52,200 --> 00:41:54,359 Speaker 3: of those products got into the food the government kind 856 00:41:54,360 --> 00:41:56,680 Speaker 3: of turning a blind eye. If we make the research 857 00:41:56,760 --> 00:41:59,000 Speaker 3: more transparent and we kind of have an even playing 858 00:41:59,040 --> 00:42:02,520 Speaker 3: field and we remove some of the special interest, we're 859 00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,839 Speaker 3: actually decreasing the size of that government kind of construct 860 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:08,760 Speaker 3: and we're getting people healthier at the same time. Because 861 00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,279 Speaker 3: I think that what's lost in all of this, and 862 00:42:10,320 --> 00:42:13,839 Speaker 3: that's a great point you bring up about just pay 863 00:42:13,840 --> 00:42:15,759 Speaker 3: attention to what you're cooking at home. I think that 864 00:42:16,200 --> 00:42:19,360 Speaker 3: people forget we have agency, right like this personal agency, 865 00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:22,040 Speaker 3: this ability to decide for ourselves and make decisions for 866 00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,120 Speaker 3: ourselves and our families. We don't need kind of an 867 00:42:25,120 --> 00:42:29,040 Speaker 3: a priori government to be our secondary brain. We can 868 00:42:29,080 --> 00:42:31,760 Speaker 3: do it ourselves, so long as the information is clean 869 00:42:31,800 --> 00:42:32,600 Speaker 3: and transparent. 870 00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:36,680 Speaker 2: Absolutely, and you just hit the nail on the head 871 00:42:36,680 --> 00:42:40,400 Speaker 2: there the fact that in Europe when it came to food, 872 00:42:40,840 --> 00:42:44,200 Speaker 2: they had to essentially prove that substances were safe before 873 00:42:44,239 --> 00:42:45,759 Speaker 2: it was allowed to go into the food. Here in 874 00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:48,439 Speaker 2: the United States, because of the loopholes, we essentially said 875 00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:51,680 Speaker 2: anything can be added into it. If it turns out 876 00:42:51,680 --> 00:42:54,040 Speaker 2: to be not safe, then we'll have that discussion. I mean, 877 00:42:54,080 --> 00:42:56,319 Speaker 2: it is so backwards and here we are, and as 878 00:42:56,360 --> 00:42:59,640 Speaker 2: we have seen, once something gets through that loopholes really hard. 879 00:42:59,400 --> 00:43:00,319 Speaker 1: To under that. 880 00:43:00,560 --> 00:43:05,200 Speaker 2: And finally, I am feeling optimistic that that maybe we're going 881 00:43:05,239 --> 00:43:07,399 Speaker 2: to be doing that, And as we continue to get 882 00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,960 Speaker 2: more data talking about the things that we consume and 883 00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:10,439 Speaker 2: how they. 884 00:43:10,320 --> 00:43:12,640 Speaker 1: Are directly correlative to disease, I. 885 00:43:12,560 --> 00:43:14,719 Speaker 2: Think people are finally going to start taking charge of 886 00:43:14,760 --> 00:43:17,160 Speaker 2: their health and hopefully be able to make some informed 887 00:43:17,200 --> 00:43:18,520 Speaker 2: decisions about their health. 888 00:43:19,680 --> 00:43:23,560 Speaker 3: Yeah. I agree, the food marketing machine has been you know, 889 00:43:23,600 --> 00:43:25,319 Speaker 3: they've done well. I got to say that, but I 890 00:43:25,320 --> 00:43:27,759 Speaker 3: think like just packaging and marketing and all of the 891 00:43:27,760 --> 00:43:29,839 Speaker 3: claims that we see on the outside, right like all 892 00:43:29,920 --> 00:43:34,000 Speaker 3: natural and low in saturated fats, and you know, those 893 00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:37,680 Speaker 3: things sell right like that to my parents, like you know, 894 00:43:37,960 --> 00:43:40,840 Speaker 3: who are constantly asking me like should I buy this? 895 00:43:40,840 --> 00:43:42,839 Speaker 3: Should I not buy this? And what we grew up 896 00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:44,960 Speaker 3: on as kids. I grew up in you know, the eighties, 897 00:43:44,960 --> 00:43:47,160 Speaker 3: and it was like, oh well, this is healthier, right, 898 00:43:47,239 --> 00:43:49,880 Speaker 3: Like this TV dinner it says it's nutritious and it's healthy. 899 00:43:49,880 --> 00:43:52,960 Speaker 3: And I too, working parents and you know, eating pizza 900 00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,279 Speaker 3: every single night in New Jersey. It was like, oh well, 901 00:43:56,280 --> 00:43:59,680 Speaker 3: it's healthy, right, like it's the way to be funny enough, 902 00:43:59,719 --> 00:44:01,080 Speaker 3: I was actually a runner, so it was like we 903 00:44:01,120 --> 00:44:03,560 Speaker 3: grew up on high carbs. It was like bage old 904 00:44:03,560 --> 00:44:06,960 Speaker 3: and waffles for breakfast, and pasta lunches and pasta dinners, 905 00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:11,080 Speaker 3: and it was like carb carb carb, So that could 906 00:44:11,080 --> 00:44:13,760 Speaker 3: have also had something to do with my metabolic issues. 907 00:44:15,160 --> 00:44:17,240 Speaker 2: Well, Chef Andrew grow, thank you so much for joining 908 00:44:17,280 --> 00:44:20,359 Speaker 2: us today. I am certainly going to make my own vinaigrette. Now, 909 00:44:20,400 --> 00:44:22,400 Speaker 2: I'm going to try that mayonnaise. We'll see if I 910 00:44:22,440 --> 00:44:25,120 Speaker 2: can slip it into some sandwiches. But I'm telling you, 911 00:44:25,160 --> 00:44:27,400 Speaker 2: as a food connoisseur, you have to put together a 912 00:44:27,440 --> 00:44:29,600 Speaker 2: cookbook to tell us what we can do to get 913 00:44:29,680 --> 00:44:31,919 Speaker 2: rid of these seed oils and these healthy alternatives. 914 00:44:31,920 --> 00:44:33,680 Speaker 1: Because, let me tell you, when it. 915 00:44:33,600 --> 00:44:35,799 Speaker 2: Comes to like mayonnaise, it wouldn't occur to me to 916 00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,720 Speaker 2: make my own mayonnaise. And you make it sound so simple, 917 00:44:38,760 --> 00:44:41,040 Speaker 2: although I'm sure it's not as simple as you may 918 00:44:41,080 --> 00:44:43,120 Speaker 2: think it is. But I'm willing to give it a try. 919 00:44:43,280 --> 00:44:46,000 Speaker 3: All right, wonderful. I appreciate that well, and I'll send 920 00:44:46,040 --> 00:44:48,480 Speaker 3: you I have Andrew Grul's Family Cookbook. We did fifty 921 00:44:48,480 --> 00:44:50,680 Speaker 3: recipes that are just for like the family. The kids 922 00:44:50,680 --> 00:44:53,360 Speaker 3: did them all seed oil free. I'll make sure I 923 00:44:53,360 --> 00:44:54,080 Speaker 3: get one out to you. 924 00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:54,799 Speaker 1: I can't wait. 925 00:44:54,840 --> 00:44:57,520 Speaker 2: Thanks so much, you're listening to Wellness and Mass. We'll 926 00:44:57,560 --> 00:44:58,480 Speaker 2: be right back with more. 927 00:45:01,960 --> 00:45:02,480 Speaker 1: So listen. 928 00:45:02,800 --> 00:45:05,400 Speaker 2: You know, after having this conversation, I think everyone's probably 929 00:45:05,440 --> 00:45:09,200 Speaker 2: a little scared of these Omega six fatty acids lineleic acids. 930 00:45:09,560 --> 00:45:11,839 Speaker 1: Bottom line. The findings of the study. 931 00:45:11,480 --> 00:45:14,320 Speaker 2: They do not warrant blanket avoidance of all seed oils. 932 00:45:14,800 --> 00:45:18,400 Speaker 2: But just like I've said at nauseum, everything in moderation 933 00:45:18,520 --> 00:45:22,160 Speaker 2: and selectivity, especially for those with high risk individuals, those 934 00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:25,200 Speaker 2: who are trying to decrease their risk of cancer and 935 00:45:25,280 --> 00:45:28,480 Speaker 2: disease and get to a healthier weight. Maintaining a healthy 936 00:45:28,480 --> 00:45:31,880 Speaker 2: weight via balanced nutrition, regular exercise. It's one of the 937 00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:35,120 Speaker 2: actionable steps that you can take to not only you know, 938 00:45:35,200 --> 00:45:39,160 Speaker 2: improve your cardiovascular and metabolic disease risk, but also your 939 00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,840 Speaker 2: cancer risks. I want to thank my colleagues at Cornell 940 00:45:41,920 --> 00:45:44,480 Speaker 2: for doing this important study and bringing light to some 941 00:45:44,520 --> 00:45:48,200 Speaker 2: of the toxins that we have in our everyday food prep. Also, 942 00:45:48,320 --> 00:45:50,680 Speaker 2: I want to thank my friend chef Andrew Group for 943 00:45:50,760 --> 00:45:53,279 Speaker 2: giving us some tips on how to avoid this potential 944 00:45:53,320 --> 00:45:56,719 Speaker 2: cancer causing ingredient. I'm doctor Nicole Saffhire, your host of 945 00:45:56,719 --> 00:45:58,040 Speaker 2: Wellness Unmasked
