: Episode 626 - Co-host Anna Vocino joins Vinnie Tortorich today to talk about kids' lunches, sugar, coffee, and obesity. PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSOR Pure Vitamin Club Villa Cappelli Squatty Potty PURE, WHITE, AND DEADLY Dr. Yudkin 1972, book written about the dangers of sugar Cool thing is back in the early '60s there was a war between Dr. John Yudkin and Ancel Keys Ancel argued yes carbs, Yudkin argued sugar and carbs are bad K ration in war is still based off of Keys Keys only pushed sugar because it helped his wallet Keys himself did not eat high carbs "cereal is for the little people" Sounded the alarm back in the 70s Check out interesting article and also Lustig's speech here! Yudkin was ridiculed and shamed, but posthumously it is making a comeback Gladiators would stuff themselves with grains to get a layer of fat so when they fought they had something to protect them VIDEO WE LIKE: NSNG COFFEE Your body treats fake sweeteners and honey and stevia the same as it does all sugar Agave syrup is sugar!!! Causes a reaction in your liver Vinnie puts one of three things in his coffee: Coconut oil, for a little extra energy HWC or some whole milk A little bit of kerrygold butter Coffee in and of itself is a flavor -- if you don't like how it tastes, then don't drink it "Just put some coffee in your coffee" Remains bitter but eventually once you stop eating sugar and processed crap it won't be so bitter Same goes with all 'bitter' things -- your taste buds will change and you'll miss out on less The fact that sugar changes your tastebuds is disconcerting enough CHILDREN'S LUNCHES Anna would rather see you pack a sandwich with hard boiled eggs and fresh veggies and such than something like a Lunchable So processed and chemical-y At the very least, nothing should be a processed food in a package Carrots, cucumbers, nuts, apples, peanut butter, eggs, etc. Just because food is from somewhere with healthy options doesn't mean it is healthy Kids having a knowing within them if you start to awaken it
