Dr. Mindy here and I have been down a rabbit hole of science understanding what foods are
damaging our body the most and specifically our immune system because even in this moment we need
to start focusing in on personal responsibility over our immune system what can we do to keep
our immune system at its best and and even as this virus comes and goes we immune system has
never been more important for us to focus on and literally you guys whatever all roads are
pointing to one food there is one specific food that will make you more vulnerable shut down your
immune system, increase the aging process, gives you more aches and pains and you've got to get
off this one food so on this video, I'm gonna show you what that one food is I'm gonna stay
tuned all the way through hooks I'm gonna give you some suggestions for reversing the damage
of this one food and as always I brought you science so ton of science be sure to look in
the links if you want to see the studies that I'm citing in here know that that's available
to you as well but excited to share this video with you and please take a moment at the end
of this video to just really ask yourself what you can do right now to give up this one food.
okay Dr. Mindy hare and I have got some really serious science for you guys today that I really
want to make sure that you understand this principle because it legitimately could be
life-saving so what I'm gonna share with you is a very specific food that we know will cause both
immediate damage to your cells and long-term damage to your cells and it does this through
a series of degeneration or reactions in the body called oxidative stress so sit tight with me I'm
gonna simplify it for you you guys know that I love to simplify the science but I want you to
understand the big picture because if I stand up here and I just say don't eat this you won't
understand why I want you to understand why this food is so dangerous for you to be eating and I'm
gonna put it in terms of what we're dealing with right now with the corona virus okay so let's
start with this we know with the corona virus I know there's been a lot of theories about how it
takes over the body but one of the things that we know why this is such a dangerous virus is because
it will shut down or decrease something called A2 inhibitors ACE2 inhibitors which some of
you have probably heard before it also increases oxidative stress and that increase in oxidative
stress will lead to thrombosis which is what's happening to people as they fall prey to this
virus okay so originally we thought with this virus that one of the major problems would be
people who already had lung conditions so they already had like a lung challenge or COPD like
they already had a pre-existing lung situation and what they're realizing is that is not the case the
people that are falling prey to this iris are people that already had accelerated oxidative
stress going on in their bodies and the oxidative stress shows up as things like an elevated BMI
that's just a fancy word for saying obesity so people who are more obese tend to fall prey and
have worse symptoms with this virus than people who aren't and that's due to oxidative stress
we also know people who have kidney disease, cardiovascular disease, diabetes all of those
people have a higher level of oxidative stress therefore they are weathering this virus worse
now why this is applicable beyond just the virus topic is that oxidative stress will accelerate
aging, it will increase inflammation, and it will make you more vulnerable to the virus and there
is one food you guys like one food that science keeps saying over and over and over again that
is creating more oxidative stress than any other and it is the food you've got to get off of and
I want to walk you through those and I will talk a little bit about how you get off of it and that
food is fructose now if you're listening to this you may don't don't shut off the video at this
point you might say to yourself well fructose isn't fruit what is exactly is fructose so let
me start off I'm gonna answer that question but let me start off by explaining what we know based
off of science and I'm gonna put it in terms of the corona virus that fructose is doing to
cause a situation within the body that allows this virus to proliferate and do more damage
than necessary so here are some of the things that we know about fructose. Fructose not only
does it increase oxidative stress like I like we about but it inhibits enzymes that make vitamin D
bio-available why this is important let's say you heard me on a video save item d is the best thing
that you can do right now to raise your immune system and your taking your vitamin D and then
an hour later you're drinking a Coke or you're eating a pastry or something that has fructose in
it and what we know is that it will even a great quality supplement it will inhibit the absorption
of vitamin D into your cells and will make it less bioavailable which means that you're wasting your
money on your supplement you're wasting your time out in the Sun because fructose will make
it so that vitamin D is less bioavailable okay but that that's not the only thing the second thing is
that or the third thing is that it will increase it'll inhibit your glutathione production okay
glutathione is made by your mitochondria and you need glutathione to be able to clean up the cells
you also need glutathione to be able to fight viruses well fructose inhibits the production
of glutathione okay but that's not it the other thing and this is crazy important I don't know
why we're not we got to get this out to the masses is that with the coronavirus fructose will cover
the corona virus and will create an armor around the corona virus so that your immune system cannot
identify it that means that it can wreak more havoc within your body because it camouflages
itself within the sugar molecules that are broken down from fructose okay so if you want your immune
system to not register the virus then make sure that you're doing lots of fructose and I break
down the different types of fructose so sit tight with me and then the last thing that I want to
point out is these ace two receptor sites this part of the immune system when there you have a
diet that's high in fructose what's happening is that it will make it so that the virus can attach
itself to these ace 2 inhibitors and take over your immune system so it's a little bit like a
answer so when a cancer cell goes rogue now we've got a problem and it's very difficult to go after
the same thing when a corona virus has sugared a limb live off of it has fructose to live off
of it will shut off that immune system it will do more oxidative damage it will tone down your
vitamin D it'll tone down your glutathione we have to get you off the fructose at this point
in time and it's not just for what we're dealing with as a world and a country right now you know
America by the way has the highest level of fructose consumption across the world which
is why right now I'm it's June we're seeing such a prevalence of the corona virus in America so
what do I mean by fructose so here's a couple of really important points that I want to point out
or I want to mention to you guys that there are three different types of sugar and fructose is
just a fancy term for sugar the one that is the most damaging is high fructose corn syrup and
you are gonna find it in your sodas you're gonna find it in your cookies and your cakes and your
salad dressings you're gonna find it in sauces and canned fruit and juice so please make sure that
you are reading labels and you're avoiding high fructose corn syrup at all costs right now that
is the most damaging fruit version of fructose that you can possibly eat it's what we call a
call carbohydrate you're gonna drink it you're gonna eat it it's gonna go into your system very
fast and it's gonna do all those things that I just told you it's gonna shut down your immune
system it's gonna increase oxidative stress it's gonna shut down vitamin D and glutathione just
from one can of coke just from one cookie that it it's going to take that sugar and it's going to
create this oxidative stress that's going to be a massive problem for you okay the second sugar
that I want you to think about is something called sucrose now you can find these on the labels start
reading the labels so you understand and and you should teach your kids to read the labels teacher
family members to read the labels so sucrose is 50% fructose and it's 50% glucose so it's not
a hundred percent fructose and high fructose corn syrup it's not a hundred percent but that's fifty
percent and you're gonna find it more in your grains and your cereals your processed meats I
point it out to you because start looking for the word sucrose in your labels read your labels so
that you if you see fructose if you see sucrose if you see high fructose corn syrup put it back
okay and then the third thing and I know you guys are thinking this what about fruit well
here's what's the difference with fruit fruit is a complex carbohydrate whereas high fructose
corn syrup sucrose those are simple carbohydrates they go into them into your bloodstream and all
of a sudden you start it's it can shut the immune system down it can cause the oxidative stress to
happen quickly whereas fruit has fiber in it and it is a complex carbohydrate and so it's going to
react differently so that I am NOT saying to get off fruit I know a lot of you guys in Turkey dou
you that you minimize fruit but there is some great research showing that fruit people have
a diet high in vegetables and fruit actually have less oxidative damage to their cells so
I'm talking about the more simple carbohydrates the the sucrose and the high fructose corn syrup
those are the ones that are damaging them you the most okay so what do you do if this is you
what if you've been doing you've been eating all this fructose for so long how do you undo the
oxidative damage well for you guys there's good news because research study after research study
shows that intermittent fasting is one of the best ways to bring oxidative stress down so if you are
not intermittent fasting right now if you have not adopted a lifestyle of intermittent fasting now is
the time to do it okay second thing exercise so something as simple as exercise especially if
you're doing like high-intensity at sir sighs like we're doing in my reset Academy that will
bring down the oxidative stress levels it can help reverse the damage that has been done but then you
can even go on and you can look at things like hold on eating more fruits and vegetables that's
an easy one and then if you go and you go you look back and you say okay well I've been eating a lot
of fructose what do I do now you can start to bring your vitamin D levels back up get out in
the Sun if you use great products like db3 we love increase your glutathione levels so use
products like GTL love this product for raising up the glutathione and then the greatest supplement
for oxidative stress that I would add into your regiment right now is called rocks and this is
made specifically to help repair the cells that have been damaged from oxidative stress so this
one food you guys like one food if we get you off of this off of fructose right now you're gonna
have as much of a benefit on your immune system if not more than wearing a diet a mask or distancing
social distancing I'm not saying to stop those things I'm just asking you to look at there are
habits that we are doing that are suppressing our immune system that are making us more vulnerable
that are causing the spread of this virus right right now that are accelerating aging that are
causing us to the insulin resistant and it all starts with one food and that's fructose so if
you're not convinced I'm leaving all the science got multiple articles to show you everything
that I just talked about but literally from the bottom of my heart please get off the fructose
if that's a challenge we're here to support you I plan on doing more videos on how do you
unhook yourself from that sugar addiction that so many people have so if that's of interest to
you just put it in the comments let me know and we are gonna do in July we're gonna do another
metabolic reset and this is where we teach you how to use keto and Steen so that you can undo
the damage that perhaps years of fructose living has done for you so as always I hope that helps
