 Next question is from George YRX, myths and facts on apple cider vinegar. I'll tell you the truth about that stuff. It's great for baby back ribs. Oh, it is. That's your secret ingredient. I used it last night. So I was making ribs last night and I actually used that to hydrate the ribs. So that's all I use it for. You know what it's, you know what it is. Is it got some health benefits? Yeah. For the gut, right? It's nothing special. It's not like some miraculous. So for a second there, it was like super popular. It still kind of is. It's become, I don't know who started it. Was it a Tim Ferriss, Ben Greenfield type of bio-hat thing to have? Everybody wants that one thing. Two tablespoons to start their day off every day, right? To set your gut right and balance it out or some bullshit. Like that's been like the trendy thing to do. Yeah, it's got some, I guess, some antimicrobial properties. But you know what though, if you have, for some people I know, who have gut issues, it's terrible. Like for me, if I have apple cider vinegar on an empty stomach, I'm going to have a good time. Oh, really? It messes you up. It does. It does feel good on me. So I have taken it before like that, because I'm trying to remember where I saw that first. But it's not like, it's not noticeable. Yeah. It's not like, oh my God, that's all I had to do. There is no. Look at this little fitness stuff. There is no miracle food. You know what, I'll use another example just to kind of illustrate this. For a second there, remember the acai berry? The, it grows in the Amazon. Yeah. And goji berries, like oh my God, they're so incredible. They're chock full of antioxidants. It's like one degree different than a blueberry. It's literally exotic. It's literally like the same thing. Did you know that? You know the truth is blueberries is better. No, acai berry was became one of the, okay, they made. It's because we didn't know what it was. Nobody in America really knew it. There was like a few places in the world you could find these acai berries or whatever. And you had companies like Monovey and some of these. Yes. They bottled it all up and promoted it all about. This is like Brazil. Antioxidants and try to claim that it cured cancer and all these people and it's like literally you could go have a half pound of blueberries and get the exact same benefits. You want to know what's funny? Here, okay. This is true now. Again, there is no miracle food, but let's just say that all the common foods that we now we're not familiar with and we just discover them. So scientists just discovered all the common foods that we eat and they stumble upon the chicken egg and red meat. You know what those two foods would be labeled as? Superfoods. Yeah. Red meat literally could sustain you and provide you with every single essential nutrient. Now I'm not saying it's ideal, by the way. Okay. So let me back up for a second. I'm not saying you should just eat meat. Yeah. I know there's people out there with the carnivore diet, whatever. No, that's not ideal. But what I am saying is red meat will, you will not, you'll probably not have a nutrient deficiency and you'll survive for a long time or maybe forever. It's part of the essential macronutrient classification. Yeah. Same thing with eggs, like a perfect protein and the yolk is chock full of all these incredible things. But because we're so familiar with these foods, I couldn't come out and say, you know, steak, the super, like everybody's like, well, I eat steak all the time. Just like I couldn't come out with blueberry juice and sell it like they did with the side juice. Doug, aren't you an apple cider vinegar guy? I did a long time ago, but not recently. Is that what it is? Is it just, is it supposed to just promote good gut health? Isn't that like the big thing from what I mean? Yeah. And they'd say it's anti-inflammatory and, you know, you could just like extend your life or something like some crazy things. No, I didn't know. I think people use it for dieting as well. Yeah. Oh, really? Yeah. I mean, I mean, it's just, you're probably just drinking more is what you're doing. Is it considered like a prebiotic or anything? No, it's got some antimicrobial properties so it could kill, you know, certain bacteria. Bad bacteria, right? Yeah. Kill bacteria, kill bad bacteria. That's all it really is, right? Yeah. Yeah. But it's not, again, there's no- Is it that much different than eating like fermented food? Is it that much? You know, regular vinegar I think is kind of similar. So regular vinegar, balsamic vinegar has got some health properties if we're going to compare the two. Right. But you know what it is, is what they'll do is they'll take, and they'll do this often with foods is they'll take one thing and then they'll extrapolate and add like, oh, okay. So the antioxidant capability of this is this. And then they'll, you know, then they'll say, oh. This is what they do with the asai berries. Yes. Because they took out like all these super antioxidants and they go, well, what are antioxidants good for? Antioxidants are good for X, Y, and Z. Therefore, this juice helps cure X, Y, and Z. Exactly. Like, whoa. Yeah. You want to know what this- It's a leap. You want to know what the shitty truth is. And this is backed by lots of studies. Here's the shitty truth. And I know it's a lot more complex than this. But if you're eating in a calorie deficit, a lot of what you eat doesn't really make that big of a difference. I know people are going to hammer me for this. And I totally admit it's a lot more complex than this. And what you eat determines how you feel. And there's essential nutrients and essential macronutrients. I get all that. So I'm not, you know, saying that that's not true. But like sugar is a good example. High sugar diet where your calories are below maintenance. You're at a weight loss diet that's high in sugar. Guess what that sugar does to your body? Nothing. It doesn't do to your body what a high sugar, high calorie diet does to your body where you see those inflammation and, you know, increased, you know, cancer risk and all that stuff. So this is true for a lot of things. That's like Glain's number one mission is to get that message across to people. In the context of low calorie, all this bullshit that people try and say about stuff that raises insulin and this is the cause of obesity epidemic and Coke will make you fat and sugar will make you fat is like, dude, if show me a study that shows you in a calorie deficit, all those adverse effects that you're talking about from those foods. There's scientists that will do this on themselves. I ate a fast food diet and I lost 30 pounds and improved all my blood, you know, markers or whatever. Now, here's why it's more complex. It's going to make your appetite. You're going to be hungrier. You're probably going to feel like shit. You're going to crave more food. It's not sustainable. So there's a lot more to what I'm saying. Well, yeah. And you can't tell me that. Okay. Let's say you have your calorie maintenance is 2,000 calories, right? So calorie deficit would be 1,500. Okay. So if you're eating 1,500 calories, someone eats 1,500 calories of a balanced diet, proteins, carbs, fats from whole foods versus someone eats 1,500 calories from mint chip ice cream. You can't tell me that the person that is eating the whole food diet is not going to have other health markers or other benefits that the person in the calorie deficit. Yeah, of course. There's where this. You got to still have your essential nutrients and all that, of course. But I'm saying let's say you have two lower, you know, two diets that are below maintenance and calories. Okay. One of them is 150 grams of carbohydrates. The other one is 150 grams of sugar, which is also carbohydrates, right? So both carbs are the same. One sugar, one isn't. If they stay that way, you're not going to see that much of a difference in terms of the person's health and stuff. Now, how they feel, I will argue, is different. You eat 150 grams of sugar. Yeah. Your appetite's probably going to be a little bit different up and down. Your energy might be a little different. And that's important. We should consider all that. But my point is that that's what I mean. Yeah. My point though is that there's this whole super food thing. Now, there's definitely foods that don't have tons of value, except for maybe the palatability. Right. Like I can argue that. Watermelon versus avocado. Yeah, or a Twinkie, you know? Like it doesn't have, it's got calories, but I mean, what other value? But this whole super food argument, a lot of it is just they'll take something that a lot of people don't use that seems exotic and then they'll spin it and market it and sell it to you. And because you've never used it before, it sounds weird. You know, it's the goji berry. It's noni juice. It's whatever. Now you're going to want to find it. Now that all being said, I don't see there's any no harm, no foul in you taking two tablespoons of apple cider vinegar in the morning. If it makes you feel good and you notice it makes your gut feel good, it's a very inexpensive product. Or you can just hydrate your ribs like I do with it. So what do you soak them in it? Well, yeah, like when you do a long smoke like that, like every hour, couple hours, I'll go in there and I'll hydrate the meat so it doesn't dry out completely and apple cider vinegar is really good for that. Just the apple and the flavor mix really well with it. That's all. Aside from gaining 20 pounds of muscle, I didn't notice anything on it. Anyway, just kidding.
