Episode 2821 – Vinnie Tortorich and Chris Shaffer discuss marketing ploys by Big Food, poorly done food studies, and that exercise is king.
Exercise is King
- Vinnie tells a story of “who is influencing whom?” (3:00)
- We can all do better, encourage each other, and be an example.
- The American Journal of Public Health recently published an article that highlights the connections between the marketing approaches of Big Food and Big Tobacco. (13:00)
- Lunchables are marketed as having a good amount of protein; however, the breakdown shows otherwise. (19:00)
- Big Food’s entire goal is to get you addicted to their products. (28:00)
- You can find a book focusing on this topic in Vinnie’s Book Club on his Amazon page.
- The book is “Salt, Sugar, Fat” by Michael Moss: https://amzn.to/4vUJl3b
- It appears that the American Heart Association finally agrees with what Vinnie has been saying for years: exercise is a poor way to lose weight. (43:00)
- Exercise is king for health and longevity! However, you need to eat real food, too.
- Another epidemiological study on meat consumption; however, it compares processed meats (like salami, pepperoni) to white meat, such as chicken (not processed). The comparison is off, so the outcome is off. (50:00)
- For a recent study on drinking tea, the article included all kinds of caveats, but the article about meat did not.
- Update on the PVC Magnesium product. (1:05:30)
- Anna’s products are now linked to PureVitamin Club’s website. Look under the “Food and Snacks” section to purchase them there, too.
