How to Politely Refuse Unhealthy Food

by Vinnie Tortorich

Vinnie Tortorich and co-host Anna Vocino discuss the recent article posted which (wrongly) pushes that meat is bad and will kill you on this Monday’s Angriest Trainer podcast.

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MIGRAINES

  • Both Tallulah and Lucy (Anna’s daughter) get migraines

  • Vinnie going to India soon!

CSPI

  • They will push anything through even if it is not true
  • This is an extended version of last Wednesday’s podcast
  • Fathead by Naughton
  • Trans-fats will stop your heart — CSPI put this in your french fries
    • Used to be cow fat
  • The panel did not give advice on red meat but did ‘give warning’
    • “Long discouraged the consumption of processed red meat”
      • The sugar and grains lobby has been the one behind this all

UVA

    • Tallulah has gotten more in shape and joined the Ultimate Frisbee Team
      • They are the #5 women’s college team in the nation

Should You Take Psyllium?

by Vinnie Tortorich

Alex White from Australia joins Vinnie Tortorich on this Saturday’s Listener Question podcast!

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR

  • Pure Vitamin Club

NEWSLETTER NEWS

  • No newsletter for awhile because Vinnie has been so busy
  • Working on new PVC vitamin
  • Been traveling and is now preparing for India Trip
  • New newsletter soon!

ALEX WHITE

  • He found NSNG because his dad, who is a hardcore cyclist, is NSNG
  • Alex is 29, his father is 60
  • Alex is a butcher
    • Much different than the propaganda videos portray it (much more humane in reality)
  • Cattle are a good example of the fact that carbs, and grain, make mammals fat!

ARE PSYLLIUM HUSK DRINKS OKAY?

  • It is very fibrous
  • The amount of carb that is connected to it is cancelled out because of the fiber
  • Vinnie always asks people: Why do you need psyllium?
    • All psyllium does is build up bulk in your bowels
  • Drinks like Metamucil tend to be bad because of sugar or artificial sweeteners
    • This is a no!
  • If you do not need it, wean yourself off slowly to avoid constipation

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”

  • 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

    • Going to go into ketosis to see what happens
