Food Can Either Hurt or Heal

• Vinnie and Gina spend a few minutes talking about dating apps, having no luck, and people objectifying each other. (2:00)
  • Gina has multiple friends who have met through apps and are now married.
  • Vinnie gets clear on how some of the apps work, and basically, some of the apps are people just objectifying each other.
• Gina then plays a TikTok video about a popular coffee chain and how many grams of sugar is in its new pumpkin spice dessert coffee concoction. (15:00)
  • The video states that 185 grams of sugar is in just one drink!
  • Vinnie talks about a video he did years ago where he interviewed people outside a Starbucks about their drinks.
  • He shares everything he observed.
• What people don’t understand about all that sugar is that it is damaging their mitochondria and their DNA. (20:00)
  • Damaging mitochondria and DNA creates a breeding ground for cancer to grow.
  • Vinnie has been avoiding sugar for 16 years and his cancer has never come back, even after he was told it would return in 5 years.
  • Food can either hurt or heal you, it’s up to you.
• They also discuss Jim Abrahams, who was in “FAT: A Documentary.”
  • Vinnie recounts the story of Jim’s son Charlie, who was a small child suffering multiple seizures a day.
  • Even though Charlie was only 2 or 3 years old, doctors had given up.
  • Jim had discovered the ketogenic diet, which was a 100-year-old proven therapy, but doctors were recommending a partial lobotomy!
  • They were willing to cut out a piece of his brain, but not try changing his food!
  • Jim made a movie starring Meryl Streep based on a true story similar to Charlie’s.
• Look for the movie, “First Do No Harm,” (1997).
