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).

    • Vinnie describes why many celebrities were so successful following his guidance. (8:00)
  • They discuss a common issue Vinnie hears during consultations. (10:00)
    • People try to “gild the lily”, meaning adding things that can be too much.
    • You can’t eat with impunity; it is possible to still have too much food.
    • People want a magic number or an amount to work with, but there isn’t one.
    • This is why the consultations are so helpful because Vinnie can customize advice for your situation.
  • Anna shares an item she received from a listener. (20:00)
    • It’s about a rice cooker and the claims the company makes about cooking “low-carb rice”.
    • So Vinnie explains about rice and starches and that claims like “resistant starches” are a fool’s errand. (24:15)
  • Anna then shares an article stating that sucralose (Splenda) is “genotoxic”. (26:50)
    • This means it is damaging DNA.
    • Vinnie has been screaming about how sweeteners are bad for you for years.
    • His message hasn’t changed because it’s the correct message! 
    • Vinnie and Anna keep producing this podcast because it is a labor of love. (32:00)
  • Anna reads more about the sucralose article. (43:00)
  • The conversation takes a turn to Anna’s recent experience of demo-ing her sauces in a grocery store.
  • There is a pandemic of poor health across society, which makes things like the COVID pandemic even more deadly. (53:00)
  • Anna’s experience at the store shows that there is still more work to be done to get the message out!
  • They talk about a few recipes, from great burgers to a pimento cheese dip that Anna’s created. (52:00)

FAT DOC PRE-ORDER IS LIVE

DR. ANTHONY JAY

CANNABIS USE

  • Plants, coffee, olive oil are great to stop plaque build up
    • Flavonoids
    • There seem to be a specific group of people very focused on this
      • More research going into it
    • He thinks this has a place in a specific group of people
  • Epidemiological studies are BS
    • Need to look at the actual cells
  • THC is the rewarding part of cannabis for health, CBD is the more meaningless part
    • People with psychotic disorders benefit from cannabis use
    • Anti-inflammatory, so this makes sense with conditions like schizophrenia
  • Many studies with cannabis are not ‘clean’ studies
    • Many of the users were also using other drugs, or using cannabis illicitly
  • Dr. Jay thinks this is protective & adjunctive treatment – good for those with MS, brain issues, etc.
    • Much better than alcohol
  • Overall, beneficial for inflammatory issues in many adults
  • Teenagers do negatively throw off their hormone balances with heavy use

ANTHONY JAY

  • Anthony’s brother, Nick, was on last Saturday show!
    • He is an amazing guy, and also in the health care business
  • He is the author of Estrogeneration: How Estrogenics are Making You Fat, Sick, and Infertile
  • He looks at raw DNA code and looks at Detox genes
    • How does your liver get rid of toxins?
    • Some people can’t rid themselves of aluminum and the like easily, whereas others can, for example
  • First looked at animal genes, then got a real interest in human genes and DNA consults
    • Helps a lot of pro athletes as well
  • Works for Mayo Clinic
  • He analyzed Vinnie’s genes

VINNIE’S GENES

  • Vinnie’s body washes out salts more than the average person
  • He has to drink extra water and eat extra salt as a result
    • Part of the reason Ultra Salt exists
  • Needs more Vitamin D than normal
    • Both of his parents likely have Vitamin D deficiency
      • PVC also has a Vitamin D supplement!
  • Genetically disposed to caring about others more
  • Slightly weaker bones
  • He would likely get muscle damage from statins
    • Just ANOTHER reason not to buy into statins
  • Long telomeres — good for life expectancy
  • Red wine can improve his heart!
  • Coumadin resistant
    • His mom should be checked too seeing as she receives this drug and she may be resistant
  • He actually has a decreased sensitivity to fructose, including its taste and how much his body take it up
  • His genes suggest he may want to avoid high lactose
    • However, he doesn’t feel he does
  • Adderal and the like would make him go crazy
  • Slow metabolizer of caffeine — stays in his body longer
  • Most people can overcome most genetic weaknesses with the right diet and lifestyle
