6:08 Hidden sugar foods

8:31 Food vs. ultra-processed foods

It’s no secret that ultra-processed carbs can take a serious toll on your health.

Consuming this dangerous carbohydrate can have the following side effects:

•Development of type 2 diabetes and a fatty liver

•Insulin resistance •Visceral fat •Feeds pathogens in the gut

•Inflammation •Increased LDL Cholesterol

Products containing this ingredient can be marketed as zero sugar, even though it quickly turns to sugar in the blood.

It’s incredibly cheap, at about 20 cents per pound, and has no health benefits.

It’s used as a filler, and the average person consumes between 60 and 250 pounds per year.

You can find this ingredient in gluten-free foods, baby formulas, baked goods, and other refined foods.

Surprisingly, many athletes also consume this product.

The carb we’re talking about is industrial starch, such as modified food starch, corn starch, and maltodextrin.

Starch is a string of glucose molecules.

When a starch is modified in a lab, its bonds become very weak and fragile, causing it to turn into sugar very quickly in the body.

Industrial starches are processed with chemicals such as sodium trimetaphosphate, vinyl acetate, bleach, and octenyl succinic anhydride.

These chemicals are considered GRAS (generally recognized as safe), but they are self-regulated.

Industrial starches are directly responsible for the complications associated with type 2 diabetes, Alzheimer’s, brain plaquing, and fibrosis of the liver.

People rarely consume starch alone.

Most junk foods are composed of starches, seed oils, and sugar.

Consuming starch with seed oils is a deadly combination!

Hidden sugars are also consumed in much higher quantities than actual sugar.

Food is defined as “that which is eaten to sustain life, to promote the growth and repair of tissues.”

By this definition, starch is not food!
