Children’s Lunches and NSNG® Coffee

: Episode 626 – Co-host Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich today to talk about children’s lunches, sugar, coffee, and obesity.

PURE, WHITE, AND DEADLY

• Dr. Yudkin
• 1972, book written about the dangers of sugar
• Cool thing is back in the early ’60s there was a war between Dr. John Yudkin and Ancel Keys
  • Ancel argued yes carbs, Yudkin argued sugar and carbs are bad
  • K ration in war is still based off of Keys
  • Keys only pushed sugar because it helped his wallet
    • Keys himself did not eat high carbs
      • “cereal is for the little people”
• Sounded the alarm back in the 70s
• Check out interesting article and also Lustig’s speech here! 
• Yudkin was ridiculed and shamed, but posthumously it is making a comeback
• Gladiators would stuff themselves with grains to get a layer of fat so when they fought they had something to protect them

NSNG COFFEE

• Your body treats fake sweeteners and honey and stevia the same as it does all sugar
  • Agave syrup is sugar!!!
  • Causes a reaction in your liver
• Vinnie puts one of three things in his coffee:
  • Coconut oil, for a little extra energy
  • HWC or some whole milk
  • A little bit of kerrygold butter
• Coffee in and of itself is a flavor — if you don’t like how it tastes, then don’t drink it
  • “Just put some coffee in your coffee”
  • Remains bitter but eventually once you stop eating sugar and processed crap it won’t be so bitter
  • Same goes with all ‘bitter’ things — your taste buds will change and you’ll miss out on less
    • The fact that sugar changes your tastebuds is disconcerting enough

CHILDREN’S LUNCHES

• Anna would rather see you pack a sandwich with hard boiled eggs and fresh veggies and such than something like a Lunchable
  • So processed and chemical-y
• At the very least, nothing should be a processed food in a package
• Carrots, cucumbers, nuts, apples, peanut butter, eggs, etc.
• Just because food is from somewhere with healthy options doesn’t mean it is healthy
• Kids having a knowing within them if you start to awaken it
