  • Eat properly. Who wants to die at a young age? Stay healthy and be at your prime by knowing what are the best things to do so.

  • The Dumbing Down of America? America the Gullible? America the Manipulated? If it wasn't so very sad it would be funny. Go to the grocery store and look what people are buying. You'll see dead people. And they don't even know they're dead.

  • THANKS SO MUCH !

  • Tip for losing weight: Turn your head left, then turn right. Repeat every time you are asked if you would like to eat.

  • You want to know something kind of hilarious?

  • @tranhoangtranhoang Oh, so you think you're funny?

  • Hi hi! Have you thought about

    intellectus 424 diet (do a google

    search)? Ive heard some

    incredible things about it and

    my father lost tons of weight

    with it.

  • You want to know something kind of hilarious? Regina friggin' George in the movie "Mean Girls" used the correct measurement (percent calories from fat) and knew to do long division when determining what foods to eat. Every American should know how to read food labels.

  • @FM897 its too much work.I go to the irish market when I have a bit of time .I hate that I have to read labels and decode ingredients.I just don't have enough time for this. I should be able to look at a picture and know what I am about to take.

  • @cannoir Then the easiest thing to do is to eat food that doesn't come in a package ;)

  • First off he is a horrible public speaker and has never taken a basic biology class. Grams of fat is what is important because that is what factors into what we eat. The only reason that 20 calories are from fat is because a fat contains around 9 calories, the most out of any other molecule. The broth may have many other nutrients but they just dont contribute many calories. Besides eating less fats wont make you skinny. The only effective diet is to consume less calories than yoy expend, meani

  • American People have a good diet this measurement.

  • The calories from fat does not affect your in any way since "1 gram of fat = 9 calories" so the chicken broth is mainly from fat. Though based on our metabolic rate, we tend to burn these 30 calories in less than an hour.

  • @JulijaDeKeit They adopted the western rich lifestyle, before that they were mostly on the John McDougall diet. =)

  • This is intertesting. Waka video!!

  • This is intertesting. Waka video!!

  • This is intertesting. Waka video!!

  • The label is not tricky! the tricky ones are the ads, that is the reason on why they are in big letters and in yelllow.

  • There is a 5 part video on youtube called Big Fat Fiasco, I won't say that everything this gentleman says is true, but it offers a very different perspective on things than this video, and it might help some of you think with a bit more of an awareness to your own bias'

  • just means fat is high in calories the whole thing is stupid.

  • thats why i like obamacare people should be more responsible with their food alot of this health problems in our country can be fix by eating right and exercise but people are to bussy playing videogames, online,movies,WORKING etc.

  • @FM897 I admire Vegans and animal rights advocates, they are people that care a great deal for the animals and their environments. But I have to fundamentally disagree that Low fat and pure plant diets are the most healthy. Countless studies have shown that diets low in grains and sugars and high in organic vegetables and grass fed animal products are possibly the healthiest. yes, there is still much research to be done. John Robbins has a well know bias towards plant and grain based diets.

  • @Unmixableix i have a quesiton my mom says organic stores lie and are just as healthy as n ormal food stores is this true? i know she got her info from the media so its hard to belive what she says...we all know who controll th e media.....

  • @gotthkid2 Good question, it's a bit complicated to answer.

    Organic produce can still have pesticides on them, they just aren't artificial chemicals. Nutrition is in debate, but organic shows slightly better for a few vitamins, and antioxidants, etc.

    Organic chips, dressing, pasta, etc. only have organic & natural ingredients, but a potato chip is a potato chip, organic or not.

    For meat and eggs, organic has stricter animal welfare rules.

    Google it, check sources & decide for yourself :)

  • Packaging is very misleading if you don't know how to think for yourself, I totally agree. But just to point out, low fat diets are generally high carbohydrate diets(high calories required to feel full and happy) , and eating some fat is essential for your health. low fat diets are an out of date and often harmful way of eating according to a lot of studies.

  • @SkepticButHopeful Of course we need some fat. But low-fat diets have been shown to be healthy across the board, especially in reducing risk of heart attack, breast, cancer, and reducing or eliminating symptoms of multiple sclerosis. Read "Diet for a New America" by John Robbins.

  • @SkepticButHopeful Also, speaking of misleading information, realize that the term "low-fat" is incredibly misleading. Adult humans simply don't NEED 30% of their daily calories from fat, like the USDA recommends. So the term "low-fat" is only low relative to the amount that most Americans eat (and on average, they eat WAY too much!) A "low-fat" diet is not low when you consider how much fat we actually require. It's actually the RIGHT amount of fat for optimal health.

  • Apparently if you don't agree with the video posters views, you get blocked from further comment. Showing half the story is a lot like spreading lies. Removing possible disagreements and counter arguments simply shows that you are close minded and quite possibly misinforming the viewers.

    Yes. the video does explain that by calorie count the package is misleading... but your stomach has a physical capacity, so volume is also a very valuable way to measure.

  • Wow, very interesting. Good on him for telling people.

  • My Extra Virgin Olive Oil is 100 % fat. Americans are scared to eat fat. We Europeans are much more slimmer and we eat healthy fat daily!

    Contact me and get slim by eating olive oil!

  • Wow, this was boring and pointless. Most low fat diets are based on eating only a certain amount of grams of fat a day, not an a percentage of the calorie base. If you're so fuckin' stupid that you can't figure out what food is good for you, and what food is not, then you deserve to die of a fat slovenly heart attack anyway. Anyone who found this video interesting or informative is a fricking idiot.

  • 4:58 LOL over and over again

  • AND THEN WHY AMERICANS ARE FAT....NO WONDER!?

  • Great info : )

    Hey watch my video @ gordita2bonita

  • This video is good to get everybody aware that the labels are lying. But fat isn't as bad for your heart as people are told. It's sugar that's the real problem these days.

  • This is a good video - thanks for sharing. I'm going to check the labels better from now on to make an informed choice.

  • thanks for the information.

  • Great information. Thanks for sharing your "secret".

    -Bryan Marcel

  • He has a point about the percentage of fat "by weight"---however, if the product is diluted, one simply needs to limit AMOUNT of food consumed (portion control) and pay attention to calories consumed. For instance, in the veggie broth, 2 grams of fat per (the particular serving size), may or may not be substantial--one would have to weight the amount of a "serving size" and see. Also, one should note the amount of sodium, cholesterol, too. (not to mention a well-balanced diet/life-style).

  • @ticks4ticks4 I guess part of the issue is that we are paying a lot of money for just added water, sugar, and salt. Perhaps the key is to make your own vegetable broth at home!

  • Thanks for point out all this, it is not common that everybody take care of there food, or even notice anything close like this. When is the next conference and where?

  • check out my channel! :)

  • It's criminal how the food industry contributes knowingly to the health crisis in this country. Best to eat "Real" food. Food that your grandparents recognized as food.

  • incomprehensibly ignorant. adding water is a legit and smart way to reduce fat. yes, some companies add sugar to enhance the flavor - so open your eyes and compare sugar between the regular and low fat. next time you make a video, genius, try finishing 7th grade first. according to his math, 1 standard serving of broccoli is 10% fat! (50 cals, 5g fat)... which is, by the way, two and a half TIMES as much fat as the oh-so-evil broth which he claims is 67% fat. guess broccoli is bad!

  • @trogdorburningator

    What is wrong with you?

    If you have 1 gram of fat in a glass, and you ad a cup of water to it, you STILL have 1 gram of fat in the glass! The fat doesn't just disappear because you added water to it.

    The fat is diluted and spread around in the water, but it isn't reduced!

    YOU need to go back to 7th grade!

  • @ekelly133 wow, somebody has an attitude. thanks for proving my point. no facts, just sass.

  • @trogdorburningator fuck you craft food salesman and fuck your box of nasty ass maccorini. Misleading motherfuckers

  • Perhaps every American should be educated yes but it would be accomplished much quicker if the company's were NOT ALLOWED TO DO THIS.

  • interesting?

  • This is probably the MOST important thing Ive ever learned.

  • @MaryJaneMinute Good for you!

  • Very interesting...wow, here I thought I kind of knew what I was buying. makes it hard to trust any processed food at all!

  • @81HappyCat It's true. You can't trust anyone.

  • In Australia the food labels are a little different. If you want to work out the percentage of total calories (or kJ) of fat, you get the grams of fat per 100g, multiply it by 3700 and then divide by the number of kJ per 100g.

    Thus for a can of soup which is 1.4g fat/100g and 260kJ/100g the calculation is

    1.4 x 3700 / 260 = 20% of calories from fat.

  • They have to make everything so damn complicated....lol

  • The food companies should be made to tell us the truth and not just con us. Close them down if they don't.

  • @RMCKIE welcome to america, the get rich quick or homeless nation.

  • Great educational piece for everyone. Thanks,

    Renay

  • it is really very good to have such kind of videos which makes us aware of things which can be really very helpful for our health... thanks to the video , i learned a lot from it..

  • The grams of things is all you need on there. Asking for the % is dumb, you can't count calories by % or you'll eat thousands more calories than you need and not even be able to know.

  • I'm glad to watch this video! I learned valuable things today!! Thanks :) Please take a look at my videos to learn related stuff.

  • 2 divided by 245 is 0.008, NOT 0.8. Lost his credibility at the beginning and I am not buying the rest.

  • @ministar91 he stated .8% which is entirely correct. multiply .008 by 100 to express it as a percentage.

  • in your face ministar91 thats for trying to be clever

  • @ministar91

    2 divided by 245 is 0.008 times 100 = 0.8%

    It's how you work out percentages.

    He is not the only guy to be pointing this out. I've been reading the same details issued from nutritionists & other health experts for the last 15 years.

    You may not buy it but it is accurate information.

  • thank you, my mistake. :)

  • @ShellyDrift The word "criminal" is an understatement.

  • Every American should be educated in this manner at a young age.

  • @abulic Every American should be educated at all .

  • @krautsjo Starting with you, you illiterate dumbass.

  • @nbryc I am dutch so I am allowed to be illiterate , you may comment me on my English If you read speak, and write Dutch . I am not an American, so who is the dumbass now . LOL

  • @krautsjo All right Goldmember. Don't play the laughing boy. There's only two things I hate in this world. People who are intolerant of other people's cultures and the Dutch.

  • @nbryc What has ignorance to do with someone's culture ? And do you know all the Dutch enough to hate them all, that is another sign of you being a dumb ass .

  • @abulic yess, but this is not good for industry...... they like to keep people stupid....

  • why not just eat normal food and actually go to the gym? you cant expect to stay in shape by sitting on the couch and eating fat free potato chips.... lol

  • @independent1971

    "Normal food"? What's that?

    Diet is a much more significant factor in body fat, as well as overall health, than physical activity.

  • i wouldnt say more significant, physical activity is probably much more important. you can eat mcdonalds every other day and as long as you exercise enough to keep the crud from clogging your arteries then you will be fine. yea a healthy diet is important but its not like you have to eat strictly fat free foods or by cutting out carbs (which is a very bad idea by the way) and you can still stay healthy.

  • @independent1971

    1) "Clogged" arteries aren't the issue. Eating high-fat, high-cholesterol, and low-fiber foods build up plaques on the arterial wall. These eventually burst, and that is what causes heart attacks. No amount of exercise has any effect on this.

    2) You are right about cutting our carbs, it is a very bad idea.

    3) Exercise is very important. But, using it as an excuse for unhealthy eating, is like saying you can smoke as long as you run enough to strengthen your lungs!

  • yea but you can just eat healthy and expect to be healthy, thats the point im getting at. someone who eats healthier than someone else could be in worse condition because they dont exercise properly.

  • @independent1971 Dr. Esselstyn reversed heart disease and cured his patients but did not use any exercise as a condition of the experiements. His science is clear: it is 10% or less of fat and 10% of protein or less that is the critical item to remain healthy, not exercise. Athletes drop dead of having clogged arteries.

  • @harold333100 ok well you eat all the healthy food you want and i will go eat a bacon biscuit and we will go run and see who passes out first, then we will see whos in better condition

  • @independent1971

    Ever heard of Carl Lewis?

  • If you do not balance that with foods to help keep you cleaned up, that bacon biscuit will come back to bite you in the butt. It is also very important to ask where did that pork came from and how much crap is in the biscuit, like enriched flour, which is white and probably bleached. The body can work to get it out but after a while it starts to reject it, thus making you sick. And that is just the beginning of what is in the food and how it is processed.

  • Wow, how misleading. I'm going to read packaging more closely now. If you eat mostly raw foods however, you don't have to worry about misleading packaging, because there is none!

    I lost 10lbs. in 2 weeks by eating raw foods mostly.

  • Yes, this might be driven by the health professionals, BUT, what do those health professionals EAT? :-)

    There aren't secret super foods out there accessible only by the rich that are like $100/serving that make you live forever. So far, everyone still ages and everyone still dies. Those who don't take care of their body are the ones who have higher risk of health complications. It's the same as it's always been.

  • Since when does the healthiness of a food depend on where the calories come from. I thought it was more complex than this. Like the reactions between the molecules and stuff. Stuff you would do in Biochemistry, not Algebra.

  • @zahmac01

    Would it be more convincing, if it was more complex? When it comes to the macronutrients (protein, carbohydrate, and fat), it typically does boil down to number/percent of calories provided by each. The kind of fat or carb may sometimes come into play as well, but it does often boil down to numbers.

    This approach is supported in the scientific literature.

  • if this lecture shows anything it is not that there is to much fat in a product, rather that the rest of the product doesnt contain much calories. He is right about that, but then twists it to make a nonpoint.. if they put 50% sugar in it then percentage calories from fat would go down rapidly.. would that be better?

  • "the rest of the product doesn't contain much calories"...

    Thats the point. We eat to get calories (and micronutrients, etc). If we need a certain number of calories to live, and we dont want a high percentage of those to come from fat, then we need accurate information on our labels.

  • the info IS accurate. if u see, which is stated on the label, that there is not a whole lot of carbohydrates and proteins in a product (which is the case in this particular calorie distribution), it is easy to put that into perspective with the amount of fat in it (it is both measured in mass) and get all the info you need. and there is nothing wrong with a lot of your calories coming from fat, especially not if it is one product.

  • I would assume that health conscious people also eat pasta, vegetables and fruit, drink milk and so on. this calorie hunt is just a food related induced schizophrenia. these particular statements are misleading at best. You could have a product easily match 70% carbohydrates by adding sugar to it. it doesnt mean its healthy. Ofcourse, you dont want to eat too much fat, but this is a quite flexible and individual requirement. This guy is playing on peoples ignorance. Any soup with any taste

  • dinkolino2 is right on this. people are taking this too far. Not to mention, all of this is driven by the market not the health professionals. Wake up! go see a real health expert and stop buying into such radical ideas

  • to it has at least 40% calories coming from fat. this would be considered unhealthy by these standards ofcourse. I am sure that this particular product is junk, but its not because of the evil fat.

  • he is outright lying. if you have 1% fat it naturaly and logicaly means that it applies to mass. Since fat is very caloric ofcourse more than 1% of total calories come from fat. 67% calories from fat just means that the rest of ingredients have almost no nutritional value. if u had a bucket of water and a spoon of sugar in it, 100% calories would come from sugar. This ofcourse doesnt mean that the bucket of water is 100% sugar. The public listening to this fraud are morons

  • Settle down, dinkolino2, I'm pretty sure he's making the point that every health recommendation (from every health authority in the world) refers to fat as a percentage of total calories. So, for a company to call something 99% fat free, when in fact most of its calories are from fat is misleading to those who are trying to be health conscious.

    Again, the health conscious person, trying to reduce the number of calories from fat, would be misled by this label. I'm sure that's all he's saying.

  • fat is not bad for you. there are many different fats anyway, its like saying carbohydrates are bad for you. or proteins.. some poisons are proteins..

  • I don't believe in meat eating or vegetarianism completely. What matters is to stay away from any man-made food and only eat natural food. You can never go wrong with that. Try to choose natural organic food if you can. Organic grass-fed beef is one of the best meat you can get.

  • How about organic poison berries?

  • I know this seems like a joke, but I was really asking: What about organic poison berries?

    If we concede that nature is capable of producing food that is unequivocally BAD for us, then that admission must apply across the board. Meat may be simply BAD for us; it has little to do with how it is processed.

  • just letting you guys know that are ingesting colloidal silver it can cause permanent discoloration of the skin blue or grey. Its called Argyria. There is no cure for it and it can lead to other serious ailments. Your basically just exposing your innards to a harmful chemical that is all. So be careful and stay healthy.

  • Yeah that is absolutely true.

  • its much better for you then flouride,mercury,barium thats in tap water :O))

  • "The beef industry has contributed to more American deaths than all the wars of this century, all natural disasters, and all automobile accidents combined. If beef is your idea of "real food for real people" you'd better live real close to a real good hospital." ~Neal Barnard

    Please watch EARTHLINGS - i have a playlist on my page"

  • There is a good place to get Colloidal Silver Wholesale at SacredColloidalSilver(.)com They have 1 Gallon for only $99.99. The product is awesome and is getting great reviews. They don't use any salts or proteins just pure silver and pure water.

  • I went to your website for colloidal silver. It is selling CS at 10 ppm (parts per million). Higher counts cost more.

    The CS I buy from "Innovative Natural Products" is 1100 ppm. Quite a difference! Mine takes very little (1/4 eyedropperful) to be kick-@ss effective.

  • I'm sorry, but I seem to have missed this thread. Why do we want "colloidal silver"?

  • marvelous description

  • I love how the stuff he's saying is considered so amazing and revolutionary. Yeah, right! If Americans are too stupid to read the goddamn label and do a bit of mental math / rough estimation, then maybe they deserve to be fat.

  • True, and if the package companies put the food labels on the front with the "serving size" in huge bold, I think they would start eating much more properly

    ~_~

  • There's a difference between stupidity and ignorance. These companies are trying to keep us the second of the two. You can't blame someone for not knowing something that's hidden from them.

  • True health involves using your mind in a positive way to achieve balance, and eating a health diet. Learn how to do this and more. Breakthroughthebarriers

  • This is amazIng. I knew the food industry screws people over on the nutritional listings...I never knew about the trick with weighing their product by weight and not actual calories...which is news to me. Amazing. Keep up the great work.

  • What an idiot. Different types of fat and carbon hydrates have different energy contents per gram. Saying 68% of the calories automatically means 68% of the weight is retarded. Back to grade school.

  • You should go back to grade school to learn how to spell CARBOHYDRATES and the fact that it is one fucking word!

  • Yea, and I'm sure you speak a second language at all?

  • Not only a second, but a third and fourth; I'm not stupid nor was I speaking to you.

  • lol just eat what you want and train alot :p

  • quicker results if u eat right.

  • Those BASTARDS!!!

  • MASHYPOTATO... he is right, u goofus!! pay attention... he said 1% by weight... grams is weight moron!! he did not say 1% in calories... see u are the people who dnt get it... go eat your fatty MASHTAPATOES

  • If you don't like the 2 grams of fat, then don't buy it. I don't buy it because it's pricey. I would rather make my own vegetable broth and add some oil for flavor/taste. In my opinion, 2 grams is not much fat! (per serving).. Even most veggie burgers have more fat than that, I consider them healthy..

  • Companies producing these "low fat" products are only doing it so it is more appealing.

    It's a bit obvious, but if you think about it, if we have one product that's 50% reduced fat, we're tempted to buy 2 of the product, thus making them more money. It's also cheaper for the companies to make the products; they're all diluted with water.

    Overall, it's not any healthier, and gets us more out of pocket. my solution--just eat naturally and organically; ignore low fat products, and eat less

  • Great video, learnt more American conspiracies.

  • salt, sugar water and oil. mmmm tasty!!

  • Did anyone who voted down this comment actually CHECK THE MATH before doing so?!

    Anywho, you're right. Maybe it's just an accident, but that part of the video is wrong.

  • THANKYOU. I was wondering where the rational people were. I think the thumbs-downers bolted once they saw numbers involved.

  • i never thought fat free made the biggest diff. biggest scam was "no trans fat"...

  • Watch a new film on natural healing foodmatters[dot]tv

  • Oh, ok. Dr. Novick. Would anyone know how to contact him? I co-produce a tv show in Providence RI and would love to do something on this. Any contact info would be appreciated.

  • what's the show?

  • Eh, the show was on CW 28 in Providence but it got cancelled- our main sponsor pulled out due to budget cuts.

  • Who is this guy?  I'm interested in learning more.

  • Percentage of fat does not matter, after all. What does is the number of grams of fat by portion.

  • niiice.

  • this is a real eye opener

  • This is an eye opener. I am glad I see this actually by accident!

    Thanks

    CJJ

  • are u gonna cry dude?

  • that was great clip i would of never thought that kinda of marketing would of took place clever from the people who did that but it was a huge wake up call to me and defo im gonna be more carefull from buyin things that say "FAT FREE"
