 Do you understand how ill you are? You're completely delusional. It is crazy. It is sickening, to be totally honest. All right, guys. Welcome back to the channel. If you're new, my name is Bobby Geist. Today we're going to react to Pick Up Limes with their video Foods That Fight Inflammation. Pick Up Limes is a huge YouTube channel with 3.7 million subscribers at the moment. And as far as I know, they're promoting a vegan diet. As we all know on this channel, veganism is highly inflammatory. How do you want to lower inflammation by eating all of those carbohydrates? I'm very curious to see what she's going to recommend. Let's have a look. Yeah. Sure. That's the right choice. Wow, man. Inflammation is our immune system's defense mechanism. It helps protect us against disease and infection, injury and even stress. Yeah, she's terribly skinny. As you can see, she wears a thick coating of makeup. Nevertheless, you can see her skull bones penetrating through the skin almost. Classical vegan look. And in the short term, it's actually a good thing, but we don't want inflammation sticking around. It's a shame because she could be pretty. It can lead to chronic pain and even disease within itself. And so that's what I wanted to chat about today. How we can avoid or reduce unnecessary inflammation by eating certain foods that have anti-inflammatory effects. Okay, on that note, we know that meat is the least inflammatory food there is. Meat has no carbohydrates, no sugar. You can be in a ketogenic state if you have some sort of autoimmune disease. It is the perfect food that comes with no fiber, no anti-nutrients, needless to say, no gluten, no phytates, nothing. So meat would be the first on the list. Now, let's see what she recommends. As I know, you might already know this, but before starting this channel, I actually worked in the field of nutrition as a dietitian. And I learned a lot about the power of foods in farming. Yeah, as a dietitian, you absolutely qualified because the vegans like to say, Bobby, you're not a dietitian. So therefore, we appealing to authority over here. But what is the use of it? Most dietitians nowadays, nutritionists, doctors, they get fed with a corporate agenda. Nothing more and nothing less. Whole grains are healthy for you. Vegetables are healthy for you. You are nothing but a studied idiot. And I wanted to dive into what those foods are. It's true. And you're going to see loads of recipes featured throughout the video. So keep your eyes on this recipe alert sign, which essentially just means that recipe link for you is in the description box below. Thank you. Now, let's dive in. Let's eat the rainbow. So this is super cool. Plants have developed their own defense mechanism to help them fight off certain bacteria, fungi, insects and even viral infections. And part of their immune system are these compounds that are called phytochemicals that are also known as phytonutrients. And what happens is now you said it correctly, phytochemicals. They are also known as phytonutrients nowadays because they try to brainwash you. How are they nutrients? It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. You know clearly what nutrition is, right? If we talk about the macronutrients, you have the fats, you have the carbohydrates and you have the proteins. If we talk about the micronutrients, of course, you have vitamin A, B, C, D, E, F, G, et cetera. So that being said, a phytochemical can never be a nutrient, especially not if you look into what the human body needs. As I said, macros and micros. Once that is satisfied, you absolutely don't need anything else, other than maybe a little bit of water, especially if you're cooking your foods. Then you need to add some hydration to the mix. So now you said as well that those are phytochemicals that are there to defend the plant. And this is absolutely accurate. You learned that correctly. Plants don't want to be eaten. Plants don't have fangs or claws, sharp teeth. They don't have anything to defend themselves other than those anti-nutrients. They try to poison the attacker. This is why they have anti-nutrients. But in this case, you are the attacker. Don't you get it? They try to poison you. Plants are poisonous. Most of them are poisonous to varying levels. Now you take those poisonous plants and you cook them to the ground in order to be able to extract some nutrition out of them. Nevertheless, they're still poisonous. So let's eat them. When we consume plant foods, we essentially just absorb these phytonutrients. And research has shown that these compounds help to even protect us from chronic diseases. They help to reduce inflammation. Yeah, that is a fantastic research. So hopefully I don't have to repeat everything that I just said. Yes, correct. We absorb those phytonutrients. They're not nutrients. We absorb those chemicals as well. And this is what in the long run destroys your gut. You're not an insect, so it won't kill you right away. But in the long run, you will get immune disorders. Potent and helping to protect us from cancer and heart disease. And fruits and vegetables are very rich in these phytonutrients. And to make sure that we get a good mix of these nutrients into our system, we want to try to aim to eat a variety of different colors. And so diversity is at least as important as quantity. So let's explore each of these colors and the benefits that they can provide. So first and foremost, she wanted to talk about foods that fight inflammation. But now she goes on a rant about different colors and therefore certain phytochemicals that are also good for us. There is nothing good about it, first and foremost. But secondly, why do you list those foods that come with such a variety of phytochemicals if you want to fight inflammation? You know or you should know that people can react very allergenic to those phytochemicals. Some people have so-called gluten intolerances. Actually, all people are gluten intolerant to varying degrees yet again. Point of the story is you should recommend meat, animal foods that are not inflammatory at all. Start with red-colored foods like tomatoes and red bell peppers and watermelon. They're rich in glycopene and this is a potent antioxidant that helps to reduce damage that are done by harmful molecules that are known as free radicals. The whole antioxidant theory, even though why would you like to consume antioxidants in the first place, is beyond me. But anyways, the whole antioxidant theory is just that and has been debunked multiple times. They only tested antioxidants extracted from plants in test tubes in a laboratory. There was never proven that any antioxidant found in the plant will go through your digestive system and aid you in any shape or form. Look it up. Lycopene is also thought to protect against prostate cancer as well as heart and lung disease. One quick note about fruits and veggies whose flesh is white or pale-colored on the inside like this here apple or eggplants, for example. Most of the color is in the skin and that's also where you're going to find most of the fight on nutrients. So if you want to reap the maximum benefit... Maximum! Those people are so caught in their intellect that it's unbelievable. This is why I said they are studied idiots. Think about it logically. All of those plants that you hold in your hand that you presented there, they're not found in our natural environments. They're all manufactured. I said this a billion times here on my channel but in case this is your first time visiting let me explain one more time. Those plants are manufactured by humans. They are bread. Their wild counterparts have very little flesh and very little sugar and on top of that they taste pretty disgusting. Most of the time people wouldn't eat them at all. If you would eat them you would eat maybe once in a while maybe when it is the season. You never had access to those sweet sweet sugar balls that you call an apple or mangoes or whatnot. There is absolutely no physical adaptation for us to eat those foods. Do you get it? Don't make it complicated. It doesn't grow in our natural environment. Those are Frankenstein foods so therefore you don't need them. Eat what is natural to you and you will be healthy. Try to enjoy it with the skin whenever you can. Yeah sure because the pesticides are not sprayed on the skin are they? Orange and yellow foods like carrots and sweet potatoes and squash and these promote carotenoids and these help to promote communication between ourselves. They may also help to prevent heart disease and you might have heard about carotenoids also helping out with our eyesight. It might come. Again this is just test tube philosophy. There has never been a study that really can show that you will reduce your heart attack risk by eating carrots. Never. The only reason why she shows those plants yet again is because she bought into the dogma of eat the rainbow. Be the rainbow. Why would you? There is absolutely no point for it. On top of that if you say that they fight heart disease what will you do if you ingest a bunch of carbohydrates which you will do if you eat vegan? So how will you battle heart disease if you're consuming all of that sugar? But no it's the bad meat of course. I forgot. Green foods are very nourishing especially leafy greens like kale and spinach and even broccoli. Yeah she just debunked herself. She just explained that she has no idea about nutrition because there's virtually no nutrition within leafy greens. But there are oxalids which are anti-nutrients. Sorry phytonutrients. And flavonols which help to reduce the risk of vascular disease and they just generally help to reduce the effects of inflammation all around. Yeah but if you would eat your species specific diet which is predominantly meat-based raw and some cooked then you wouldn't need to lower your heart disease risk. Do you get it? Purple colored foods like blueberries and blackberries but also purple cabbage and grapes and plums. And these are rich in the powerful compounds called anthocyanins which are believed to delay cellular aging and they also block the formation of clots in our blood which can help to keep our hearts healthy. And this is just the tip of the iceberg. There are hundreds, thousands of compounds in these fruits and veggies that we haven't explored because we wouldn't have the time to but they all help in their own unique way to help fight inflammation and other various diseases. So now look at this right. She talks a big talk. Many big words around here but the reality is of course try living off that rainbow. Honestly just try living off that and this is a dare to you as well. Pick up limes. Practice what you preach and try it out for a year. Just eat that rainbow because what you describe is that this is all we need. This is the healthiest food on the planet. So please I dare you honestly please eat this food. I would even pay for this food for a whole year. I know you don't need it. You have almost four million subscribers. I would do it. Honestly if you could prove to us that you would be healthy afterwards by eating only blueberries, limes, grapes, bananas, citrus fruits, oranges, carrots, tomatoes etc etc you would be a freely after all of this. This is terribly unhealthy and you know it. There is no sustenance in this food. You will still have to drink your plant protein shakes in between. Still eat some tofu just to exist and you would be miserable either way. But I dare you yet again eat only those healthy foods and let's see where you are in one year's time. It really helps to get a variety whenever we can. Ridiculous. These next ingredients aren't particularly colorful per se but they do have very strong anti-inflammatory kind of properties and these are the basis of a lot of meals and these are garlic, onion and ginger. So let's start first with garlic. These contain. Yeah those foods are actually highly inflammatory and they are antiseptic. So what they do is they destroy everything that you consume and they can even attack your own cells. This is super unhealthy to eat. Anosulfur compounds and then onions contain compounds called cursitin and both of these phytonutrients have anti-inflammatory benefits but they also have been shown to prevent cancer and microbial and viral infections. Then there's ginger and these contain the... Yeah again that has been tested by taking onions and actually putting it onto microbes and yes it kills off microbes. So why would you like to consume it then? Phytochemical called ginger rolls and this helps to reduce inflammation and helps to prevent the progression of various chronic diseases. How? Oxidation is a very necessary and normal chemical reaction that happens in our bodies but you need antioxidants. Sometimes an imbalance can occur in this reaction which can lead to something called oxidative stress. Now oxidative stress can cause inflammation but it can also damage our cells, proteins, DNA. It can even cause premature aging and even certain kinds of diseases. Now luckily there are certain compounds called antioxidants that help to restore the balance. Thank God! Antioxidants are really rich in the fruits and vegetables that we just talked about but also in spices. Spices and dried herbs offer the most antioxidant... Yeah spices are basically excitotoxins. You are poisoning yourself. Again I dare you, another dare here with Uncle Bobby just take that jar as it is. Can you see it guys? That one there in the background and chuck it down. See what's going to happen. See how healthy it is. On the other hand take a steak the size of the jar, eat it raw and see what happens then. Simple. Wait then almost anything else. So simple. This is especially true for oregano, rosemary and thyme and these are ingredients that we've combined together in our homemade Italian seasoning mix. You can make this mix just once and then keep it in your pantry and then you're going to have it at the ready to just scoop up into your favorite pastas or pizza sauces to add a whole... Exactly, eat pasta. Come on man, really. Eat pasta and pizza and sprinkle some herbs on top. Anti-inflammatory. You eat antioxidants all at once. It's just so simple. And then there's also... Man they're loaded with gluten and you know that too. Wow. This is another antioxidant powerhouse because it's really rich in a phytonutrient that's called curcumin. Unfortunately curcumin isn't very readily absorbed into our bodies unless it's combined with black pepper which can help to increase its absorption by 2000%. That's why you can often see that when we're making curries we usually combine our turmeric with black pepper so healthy that whenever we're making delicious drink. And why is diabetes and heart disease so rampant in India then if it is so healthy? Like our golden milk recipe or you could batch make our golden latte drink mix. I feel like it's just such a lovely way to wind down in the evening. Scooping up a little bit of this powder combining it with your favorite warm plant-based milk. It's just so delicious and nourishing. Don't call it nourishing. It's not nourishing at all. Please look up which nutrition is in that plant milk. It's not even milk. There is no nutrition at all. Even the Indians they use raw milk for that and therefore they get nutrition. Anyhow before you proceed to call them phytonutrients over and over and over again. Ask yourself is there a biological adaptation or a need for curcumin in the human body? If you tell me that a human being can go throughout his life supremely healthy without ever consuming curcumin and by the way this is what humans have done for thousands and thousands of years but well if you agree to that that explains that curcumin is not a nutrient. Now let's talk about beans for a second. They contain a very powerful phytonutrient that we've already discussed. It's not a nutrient. Called anthocyanins. We saw that in the blackberries and purple cabbage. Yeah but why don't you talk about the lectins that they contain as well? Those have like a blue-purple color right? And so do certain beans like red beans, black beans, pinto beans. These are especially really high in these anthocyanins. Beans are also very high in their fiber content which has been shown to reduce insulin sensitivity and also to reduce inflammation. Everything is opposite today nowadays. You either really don't know or you just misleading your almost 4 million subscribers. This is the opposite of anti-inflammatory. It is just inflammation. Everybody knows of course intuitively that beans will wreck your gut. It is due to the lectins and other antinutrients found in the beans that will destroy your gut in the long run. Most of the time people cannot digest them anyways and they poop many of them out which leads to more distress to your digestive system. And then there's soybeans and these are something that you see us enjoy a lot in the form of adamantigines, tempeh or tofu and they're rich in phytonutrient that's called estrogens. You might also sometimes hear about soybean controversial because it contains phytoestrogens. We do have a whole article on soy in case you're interested and want to learn more. I'll link it for you below. But in short, the results of these studies on phytoestrogens have been conflicting in the past but more recent studies conclude that soy is not only safe for consumption but it is also very protective against different... Eat the soy! ...cancers and it's generally recommended because it's a very great protein source. Yeah, it's fantastic. It's not another way that we can actually help to reduce inflammation is by consuming more plant-based proteins or plant-based proteins. Certain animal proteins like red meat and dairy have been linked with increased inflammation whereas plant proteins have been linked with decrease Yes, exactly. Let's smile about that. Let's be so happy when we say that because there was a study that showed it. It's absolutely ridiculous. How has that study been conducted? Let me ask you and you know it yourself if you look into the study. Did the participants eat only red meat? Of course not. If you look into the work of Dr. Sean Baker you will see that they now finally conducted one carnivore study in which the people truly just ate red meat. Of course cooked in that instance some not a proponent of that either but nevertheless just meat. Of course they saw a significant decrease in all kinds of civilization diseases such as inflammation, heart attacks, diabetes etc etc etc so they saw an improvement in those health markers. The studies that you talk about they conduct on standard American diets in which people eat hamburgers. Hamburgers are already plant-based don't you see it? A Big Mac is predominantly bread, lettuce, sauces, sugar and then a little bit of meat. The standard American diet is plant-based already. People eat roughly 80% plants anyways and this is why they have high inflammation not due to the meat. I've always been so fascinated with gut health and our guts are these intricate ecosystems that trillions of microorganisms call home and some of these microorganisms promote inflammation whereas others are thought to reduce it and fiber is one source that can fuel the growth of the beneficial gut microorganisms that help to support them. So amazing so this is fiber this is insoluble fiber you cannot digest it it ends up in your colon ends up rotting there and yes you're right the microbes eat the fiber do you know what they do with the fiber? Ever looked into it? Those microbes in your colon they start digesting that fiber and they start converting it to butyrate. Sounds familiar? Butyrate? Butter? Yes is a saturated fat that is predominant in butter it is a saturated fat super unhealthy so your body goes out of the way to break down the fiber through those microbes in order to extract still some saturated fats because guess what? Your body needs saturated fats but there is nothing healthy about this process you would be much better off eating butter All optimal health now some sources of fiber include the fruits and vegetables and beans that we've discussed but also it's very rich in whole grains whole grains are incredibly nourishing and filling so you can aim to add them whenever if they are so nourishing yet again just eat whole grains here is another dare just eat whole grains the starch solution give it a go just eat grains for a whole year no B vitamin supplements no supplements whatsoever no sources either please just eat grains those grains that you see right there because they are so nourishing just eat them do you understand how ill you are? you're completely delusional it is crazy it is sickening to be totally honest think about it if I would say I'm just gonna eat liver for one year straight I can do it no problem if I say I'm gonna eat fish for a whole year just fish I can do it it is possible the same applies to meat and all the other animal foods you cannot do that with those plant foods so how can you say that they are nutritious? do whatever you can it's delicious to enjoy with meals of course but you could also have something like oats together with breakfast or you could add it into energy bars or even just add grains to salads and also I don't know if you knew this but popcorn is a whole grain in and of itself so feel free to pop some popcorn to enjoy yourself yes we're gonna end strong here with omega 3 fats omega 3 fats strong so many different functions in the body and now the starting point for the creation by the way nothing was anti-inflammatory even by her standard she didn't say why they are anti-inflammatory she simply said yeah and this will help with anti-inflammation as well because of the antioxidants because of the phytonutrients what is anti-inflammatory about it? when I talk about meat I can tell you why this anti-inflammatory or not inflammatory at all because it does not have anti-nutrients aka phytochemicals what do your plants do? tell us omega 3 fats are essential which means our bodies can't make it on its own which means that we have to consume them directly from oh wow and plant-based sources of omega 3 fats are ground flax seeds ground chia seeds hemp seeds and walnuts but they're not and why do you lie to your audience? so this is not omega 3 there is no omega 3 here at all there is no DHA no EPA this is just ALA so it needs to be converted aha not everybody can convert it properly but you just said that omega 3s are essential so what should we do? no wonder then that vegans have smaller brains look up your studies research it yourself you will see smaller brain size within vegans because they don't get omega 3s their body needs to convert all of those ALAs in most cases it cannot be done and in case you're interested we have an awesome recipe for a super seed essentially just take all of these omega rich ingredients you mix them together in a jar and then it's super easy to have it on hand you can sprinkle it onto salads or smoothie bowls or onto yogurts but you do know that even if you would convert all of these here in the background you would get maybe maybe 0.00 something of a gram of DHA and EPA imagine just eating a piece of sushi instead what I like to do are on to oatmeal take an extra boost of energy and omega every day plus you can consider an omega supplement from algae consider it so fun fact algae is where fish get there yeah fun fact it is so great to consume all of those seeds but take a supplement on top because they work so good and get it straight from the source and as usual we do have a whole article about omega 3 fat so if you want to delve deeper the link is in the description box oh thank you so much what I usually like to do and this is really one of my philosophies is to focus more on the foods that we can be enjoying more of and let those foods naturally displace the foods that we maybe ought to be eating a little bit less of yeah so for example all the plants and eat meat instead all right guys and this is it for today's video thank you so much for tuning in wow yet again opposite day with those vegans shocking anyways long enough as it is if you liked it leave it a thumbs up if you haven't subscribed already guys please do so and if you want to support this channel all the links are in the description box below thank you so much for your support all right but this is it as always may god bless you all much love and peace
