Food coloring, artificial sweeteners, and your health.

0:00 Speaker 1 Sunday Morning with us today is doctor Peter Mihelos and his nickname lived long and prosper and doctor Peter, what is I mean, what is the big item for today? And I think we talked a few days ago you said these additives that Bobby Kennedy is is getting involved with.

0:23 Speaker 2 Well, I think John, it’s a very important topic. And finally we’re getting down to what’s really the problem in the United States, and it comes down to our diet, our processed food, our dies, our preservatives, and our artificial sweeteners.

0:41 We’ve gone away from eating farm to table as our genetic ancestors have, as the people in the Blue zones who are outliving us like crazy, where the average American man is living to be seventy six and many men in Europe are living to be eighty two. The men in Spain and Portugal and Sarginy, Italy and Katia Greece

1:05 are getting into their eighties, and we’re not lasting as long and developing many, many more diseases. And I think it was quite amazing that they finally are catching up to Europe with getting rid of some of these dyes like red dye, for example, is not found in nature and these things are based out of petroleum, so think

1:28 about that that they’re coming out of, you know, making them out of oil to make these dyes, and they’re only there for marketing. They don’t add any nutritional or vitamin value. They’re there because when you have these brighter colors, they’ve shown in marketing they’re more attractive the kids and people notice them more. In the European Union, instead of

1:49 using all these band dyes like they have in Europe, like banning red dye number four, yellows number five and number six, they use things like carriages bury juice and watermelon juice to dye foods and that’s a more natural way to do it. And what happens is you really have to start reading the labels and looking at these

2:12 labels and dies again have no nutritional value, and we need to start, you know, looking at labels and think about your kids because they’ve been associated with some possible neurological problems. The problem is nobody’s going to pay one hundred million dollars to do a clinical trial and study these things, so a lot of the evidence is anecdotal

2:35 or done. And the animal model, which is very similar to humans and as far as food preservatives, Europe has already banned things like some of the names. They sound strange, but we can add it on to the WABC website to propyl parabin which is found to be an endocrine disruptor which affects your endocrine system, so that affects fertility.

2:58 And people wonder why come in countries like in the middle of nowhere or Afghanistan or places where they don’t have any of these eyes, they’re having babies left and right without a problem, whereas uh, you know women in European countries. In the United States, we have all these fertility clinics. So these things have been found to be disruptors.

3:21 Speaker 1 Where’s the FDA, doctor Murhulos, I mean, why are they are they take on the payoff and that you’re stupid? What is it?

3:32 Speaker 2 Well, what happens is you want to sell more products and you want to distribute it to more places, so you want it to live, You want the products to last longer. The problem is when you put in these preservatives to kill bacteria so they don’t rot, the problem is those same preservatives also kill the good bacteria in

3:53 the gut and damage it, damage it, and there’s even one qulled titanium oxide that they use as a whitening agent and they use it in some products, and baking products are white bread to make it look whiter, and they found that that probably causes DNA and chromosomal damage.

4:09 So you have to start, you know, being educated, and you know, sometimes I carry my extra stronger pair of glasses just to look at some of the ingredients. Like there’s some in some popular sodas that many people drink called brominated vegetable oils, and they put them in these sodas and it changes the texture. And there’s even stuff

4:28 in baking goods to improve the texture that released euthane, which is now a known carcinogen. So you know, we have things like that, and then we go over to the artificial sweeteners like sacraline and sucralose. I’m not using any brand names. They’re linked to unhealthy gut bacteria. And you would think artificial sweetness would help you lose weight

4:54 and all these people drinking diet coke, but it’s actually associated with weight gain, pour sugar control, unhealthy gut, and metabolic syndrome, which is high blood pressure and diabetes. Because it’s a fake out, it goes into your mouth, your body thinks that it just had a load of sugar.

5:12 Then you shoot out a bunch of insulin because your brain says, oh my god, all the sugars come in. Make some insulin to bring the sugar level down and bring it into the muscles. But there isn’t any nutritional value sugar there. So then what happens. Your blood sugar gets low, and then the signal goes and you get hungrier,

5:28 and then you end up eating more. So it’s confusing our entire system. And we were not you know, think about it as a We’re a car and we run on premium gas and then somebody studying suddenly putting water mixed with corn oil in the gas tank instead of the proper fuel we need, and our engine gets disrupted.

5:48 And that’s what’s happening. Our metabolic engine is being disrupted by all this stuff. And we’re seeing We’re going to hear a lot more in the healthcare field and even about vaccines and worth. I fully support vaccines, but one of the things that a lot of the pediatricians that I’ve interviewed that they don’t want to talk about it

6:07 because they don’t want to be seen as anti vax. They think they should be spaced out instead of having three four vaccines at a time because the insurance companies just want to pay for one visit and do it all at once. I think it’s they’re saying. What they’ve told me is that they think it’s an immune system

6:22 shocked to get them all at once. So I think we’re going to be looking more about threading these things out. And in addition to the foods, I think that the FDA and the NIH they’re going to start actually looking at the studies that exist there, like the Duke University studies that showed that cannabis, which they legalized, and our

6:43 young kids are smoking it and they wonder why there’s so much autism. Autism has been linked to cannabis use in men by damaging the sperm, not only damaging it becausing epigenetic changes means it alters the DNA so that any damage you get is generational and you pass it on.

7:02 And you know, I hate to, you know, to ruin people’s party, but this is real stuff, real evidence, space science, and you can just put it in, you know. I’m I’m glad.

7:15 Speaker 1 Secretary Kennedy is finally doing something about it. I mean, what else can we do.

7:21 Speaker 2 You had a great interview with him the other day and you talked about the microplastics, which we’ve been talking about on Red Apple Media here, and not only microplastics, but nanoplastics. And we need to start addressing our health because it’s really a national security issue, as we’ve been saying.

7:41 Bottom line, time of COVID.

7:44 Speaker 1 Read every label, if God made it, eat it, if if one of the major companies ate it, read the label very carefully.

7:54 Speaker 2 Yeah. Absolutely, And keep listening to w ABC for more up and we’re going to be hearing a lot about health and trying to make America healthy again so we can be a strong and prosperous country.

8:08 Speaker 1 Thank you, doctor Peter Michlos.

8:11 Speaker 2 Thank you John for always getting the truth out on the Cats Roundtable.
