Dr.Mercola: There are three words that I strongly recommend, three easy words to
remember, and that is: Eat real food.
Ty Bollinger: I love that.
Eat real food.
Dr. Mercola: Eat real food.
Because when you do that, you know what you accomplish?
You avoid the artificial ingredients that are inserted into
your food, and most people are not aware that there are over
10,000 chemicals that are labeled GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe, by the food industry
themselves.
And by labeling them as GRAS, they are able to penetrate a loophole that allows them
never to be tested for human safety, not just singly, but let alone when combined with all
the others, so there is synergistic toxicity.
So when you eat real food you avoid the chemicals.
You avoid the exposure to these untested chemicals that essentially are making the
population a guinea pig, because we have no idea what the
chronic exposure to many of these combinations of chemicals will do.
Ty Bollinger: Because of the fact that these chemicals are generally regarded as safe,
but they are not tested.
Dr. Mercola: Never tested.
They have been labeled by the food industry.
Ty Bollinger: So you're right, we are the guinea pigs on that.
Dr. Mercola: Yes.
And you could say, "That's okay, I'll just read the label."
Well, if you had the eyesight and the glasses to be able to read the 2-point
font, and the chemical understanding to read the label,
because those are complex chemical terms, they're not even there!
The loopholes says because they're GRAS, you don't even have to put
them on the food label.
Ty Bollinger: Really?
Dr. Mercola: Yes!
Ty Bollinger: Wow.
Dr. Mercola: Yes.
So there is no way a conscientious consumer could possibly choose the right food in
packaged food.
So just play it safe, eat real food, which means you, or someone you know or love, or
pay, prepares the food.
Now, does that mean you have to do it 100 percent?
It's almost physically impossible to do that, because you're going
to go out to eat at restaurants, and obviously, you are
going to delegate that responsibility, but your general pattern, 80 to 90 percent of
the time, is to eat real food that is prepared by your or someone you
know.
Ty Bollinger: Think about the way your grandmom and grandpop ate, and eat that.
Dr. Mercola: Absolutely.
Or, you've been around the world interviewing experts and you go to places like
Eastern Europe where they are still doing that.
When I was seeing patients, I was just absolutely delighted when I had patients from Eastern
Europe because this is the way they operate.
They have hardly any exposure to these processed foods.
They get it, at a foundational level.
You don't have to try to teach or preach to them or convince them
that this is the way we were designed to eat.
Ty Bollinger: Yes, it was refreshing for us.
Dr. Mercola: Yes, and you are so much healthier, you just avoid so many challenges when you
take this approach to a lifestyle and feeding yourself,
and then you can avoid all the challenges, because your
body is designed to stay healthy.
It wants to be healthy.
It never was designed to go toward disease so
that you have to see a physician who is going to prescribe a medication to treat that.
That is not the design.
The design is to be healthy.
You can easily do that when you are eating real food, exercising
the right way, sleeping, getting movement, and your body self-regulates, it heals.
And sleeping.
And exposure to sunlight, which is why I moved
down here so I could have more sunlight in the winter and
get vitamin D.
