Cancer, Meat, and the World Health Organization

by Vinnie Tortorich

Vinnie Tortorich and Wednesday cohost Andy Schreiber talk the latest news on meat and Pure Vitamins on this Angriest Trainer/Talking Fitness podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

THE PROCESSED MEAT NEWS

  • New study was saying processed meats will increase your chance of colon cancer
  • Also said red meat is carcinogenic
    • Andy finds this silly
  • CSPI has a lot of pull
    • They do not do experimentation — they bully scientists and World Health Org
    • Same thing happened when Ansel Keyes was on a mission to get us to eat no fat and more carbs
      • There were holes in the science but he just wanted to push his own initiative/agenda
  • More about this on an Anna/Monday show coming up
  • Bottom line is, if you are obese, you have a greater chance of dying than eating red meat
    • Although red meat still isn’t a problem
      • Look at the past!

MCDONALD’S FRIES

  • They used to taste better because they used to use tallow
    • Beef fat
    • CSPI had this changed because they didn’t like the consumption of animals
      • Instead, it was changed to vegetable oil which becomes a carcinogen when heated to this level

NRA

  • They have a lot of money from people like Vinnie who can’t find trap shooting outside of the NRA
  • The limiting of guns is giving more money to the NRA
  • CSPI works the same way
    • There is no science in the “Center for Science for Public Interest”

LISTENER QUESTION

  • Mark DeNio
  • All listeners should sign up on the forum on the website so you can ask questions too!
  • Type 2 diabetic with a love/hate relationship with insulin
    • His sugar reading got to 479
    • He feels worse when his numbers are 120 or less (goals he should be shooting for)
  • Has lost some weight, and is taking medicine (Farxiga)
  • Seems his progress is coming from what he is not supposed to be doing
  • What should he be doing on NSNG if it makes him feel crummy but makes a difference to him?
    • They advise him to get to a doctor and don’t mess around
    • Hard subject to tackle because Anna and Vinnie are not doctors and cannot give medical advice
    • If you feel better at higher sugars, this is because your body needs professional help
  • Dairy was hurting Anna when she was trying to avoid grain — exacerbated her celiac
    • She has to cut out foods that makes her sick
  • People were reaching out with fibromyalgia, lupus, thyroid issues who were doing NSNG
  • Anna has been healing herself after finding she was deficient with other vitamins
    • Going to go into ketosis to see what happens
  • ALWAYS consult a doctor
