WOW 🚨 A company called Dow Inc has requested permission to discharge these pre-production plastic pellets directly into waters leading to San Antonio Bay The discharges would go into waters connected to the Victoria Barge Canal, which feed San Antonio Bay and ultimately the Gulf of Mexico The company filed a wastewater permit amendment application with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality This is real, this company really is trying to discharge an “unspecified amount” of these plastic beads into our waterways. This would literally legalize plastic pollution

Burnt sugar cake really is an act of love cause it can be an easy hit or easy miss. Burnt sugar cake becomes hard primarily because the sugar is heated beyond caramelization, causing the sucrose molecules to break down and turn into a brittle, glass-like substance upon cooling. Overcooking the sugar syrup, or using too high a temperature, evaporates too much moisture, leading to a hard texture. Sugar should be soft boiled. Overcook and the cake will be hard/dry. Have you ever had Burnt Sugar Cake?

#WATCH | Delhi: On the rise in sugar prices, Niraj Shirgaokar, President of the Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA), says, "The government has already taken some very good steps in the last 4 to 6 weeks. They have done physical verification of stocks in the sugar mills. They have also put limits on the trading community. They have put limits on institutional buyers and bulk consumers. We are also seeing certain other tightening steps happening. The import of sugar is another important step that has been announced. There is no shortage of sugar. Sugar is available, like we showed in our numbers, and we have to make sure that these steps will definitely help in a very smooth transition into the festival season and into a new sugar crushing season... He also says, "We have asked the government to reduce the holding limit from 400 tons to 200 tons for the traders so that more sugar is released into the market and then the consumer sees the actual correction in the prices during the festivals here..." On the import of sugar, he says, "The import of sugar is a measure of protection. We don't have like 70-80 lakh tons of stock. We have 35 lakh tons of closing stock, which is a comfortable number going into November. The government does feel that this particular figure of 8 or 10 lakh tons will make it absolutely comfortable for the consumer..."

This simple GENIUS idea can help reduce soft-drink consumption in India! Just imagine if every school canteen, college mess, and office canteen had a sugar-board displaying the exact amount of sugar in every soft-drink! Many of us know soft-drinks are harmful for us, but we don’t know how BAD it is for us. Habits form at an early age, and if we have a lot of sugar as a kid, chances are we will crave sugar as an adult too! If a sugar board is put in every school canteen, it can help reduce the soft-drink consumption of millions of Indian Kids! I request the government to introduce this sugar board in every public school in India! If you are a teacher, parent, or office manager, you can make this sugar board for your school, home or office! Some people call India the “Diabetes Capital of the world”. Let us join hands, and make India the "health-capital of the world!" Share!

Dr. Phil and Gary Brecka discuss why sugar can be just as addictive as drugs and alcohol. “Sugar, is right up there with drug and alcohol addiction.” “The brain will activate when it wants sugar.” “The sugar has to pass over that receptor for you to get the dopamine reward.” “These are ways that the body drugs you, literally, into giving it what it wants.” “If it wants sugar, it will activate receptors that will get you off the couch and walk you to the refrigerator.” “It takes about 7-9 days to break that.” “It is a difficult 7-9 days.” “But if you make it to the other side, you can break the addictive cycle of sugar.” “And start to reset your palate.” Dr. Phil Gary Brecka

Good afternoon NEMA Kenya . This is not the first time fish farmers at Dunga Beach are calling out Kibos Sugar Company for poisoning Kibos River with toxic wastes. Kibos River is a tributary of Lake Victoria. At the entrance, farmers have fish cages and as we are talking now, fish farmers are counting losses following the contamination of water leading into their cages by Kibos Sugar Company. I know this is going to fall in your deaf years because you will oiled to let it slide. But for me and my family, we will never get tired of calling out injustices.

Sugar and carbohydrates DON’T cause a cancer recurrence Annabelle Croft was a guest on Gabby Logan podcast where she shared information about her husband’s colon cancer diagnosis. Annabelle had been led to believe that sugar and carbohydrates feed cancer cells, and her husband followed a ketogenic diet based on protein with a small amount of fat Annabelle was given the wrong advice There is NO evidence that sugar makes cancer come back Cancer cells are sneaky. They will use anything for fuel - sugar, carbs, protein or fat. They don’t care. And every carb is broken down to sugar - veg, fruit, nuts and seeds. The @wcrfuk recommends that every cancer patient follows a plant-based diet to ensure you get the vitamins, minerals and fibre that your body needs. Double check any claim you see online with sensible resources like Cancer Research UK And if you want a deeper dive into sugar and cancer, read my new book - The Cancer Roadmap

I'm 8 minutes into a 'documentary' on Netlfix called "What the Health" where the documentary film maker is interviewing a doctor who says the following: Kip the documentary filmmaker: "What role does sugar play in causing diabetes? Dr. Neal Barnard, M.D.: "Driving me crazy. Diabetes is not and never was caused by eating a high carbohydrate diet, and it's not caused by eating sugar. The causes of diabetes is a diet that builds up the amount of **fat** into the blood. I'm talking about a typical meat-based, animal-based diet." Dr. Barnard then goes on to claim its a high ANIMAL FAT diet that causes insulin resistance. The animal fat blocks the intake of sugar or glucose into the blood vessels. Or something. Watch. He actually says this. And he's not the only one. Several MD's appear here claiming metabolic syndrome, diabetes and insulin resistance is caused by animal fat in the human diet. Sugar? Not a real problem. High carb diet? That's fine. You get fat and unhealthy from an animal-based diet. What do you think about what they said? Respond in the comments.

🚨 SUGAR-FREE OREOS ARE A SETUP - AND YOUR COLON IS THE TARGET A creator is warning people DO NOT EAT sugar-free Double Stuf Oreos - saying they taste “suspiciously amazing… which is how it tricks you.” He calls them “a mandatory evacuation order” thanks to maltitol and sorbitol - a combo he says detonates your gut in under 30 minutes. The worst part? They’re “sugar-free” but can still spike blood sugar. “This isn’t a cookie,” he says. “It’s an attack.” Allegedly sold by Nabisco. Are sugar-free snacks a scam… or just chemical Russian roulette?

According to Dr. Clint Steele, Ziploc bags are linked with dementia. "I did a video on this not too long ago, talking about 750 milligrams of plastic being found in the brains of those that have Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia." "That's the size of a plastic spoon, folks." "So the question is, where are all these plastics coming from?" "There's two ingredients in this plastic bag, called polyethylene and polypropylene, that break down and turn into microplastics. These microplastics are so small that they can actually cross the blood-brain barrier." "And this is how we're finding plastics in the brain." "We've got to get rid of stuff like this because it's damaging our brains and it's leading to end-stage neurodegenerative diseases. So please share this."

Glass-bottled water may contain more microplastic particles than plastic bottles The contamination appears to come mainly from polyester-based paint on metal caps, which can shed larger plastic particles into the liquid during bottling But there’s nuance: the particles in glass bottles tend to be larger and less absorbable, while plastic bottles also expose you to BPA and phthalates Glass remains the safer choice when you're on the go, but a home water filter with a reusable BPA-free bottle is the best long-term solution

A 350ml bottle of Coca-Cola has 39 grams of sugar. This is approximately 10 teaspoons of sugar. High insulin levels cause mitochondrial dysfunction. Cancer cells actively multiply and divide due to the presence of sugar. Cancer cells turn fructose into glucose. It is ridiculous that we give patients fructose (Table sugar, Sodas, fruit juices and energy drinks). Next to every hospital are stalls selling high-fructose corn Syrup. Inside hospitals are fridges selling these products. Yet these products are detrimental to the health of patients. These products contain copious amounts of fructose, which can exacerbate cancer and other metabolic disorders. The interviewee is Dr Robert Lustig. CHANGE or PERISH!

More chemicals are being added to our food in America New Sugar Free Oreos are being made with a chemicals that doctors use as laxatives “Critics warn the new recipe could be trouble for your digestive tract. One of the sugar alternatives in zero sugar Oreos can work as a laxative — It's the same zero sugar chemicals they use is the same ones that doctors use as a laxative” “This product is aimed at people trying to quit sugar, people with diabetes and gut issues, and people who want to lose weight and are struggling with their health. But instead of helping them, Big Food is plowing them down with chemicals that cause more health issues. This is what happens when Big Food tries to engineer around sugar addiction instead of addressing it. It's not a solution to our health crisis, it's sabotage.”

"You A Gum Chewer?...You May Want To Rethink Your Gum Chewing Habit." Layne Kilpatrick "You Are Chewing The Exact Ingredients In Tires & Glue With A Hefty Dose Of Plastic." "The US FDA Allows Gum Manufacturers To Hide 100s Of Chemicals Within 'Gum Base' On Ingredient Labels." Some of the substances used in common chewing gums include styrene-butadiene, polyethylene & polyvinyl acetate—compounds found in tires, plastic bags & wood glue, respectively. Most chewing gum today contains synthetic chemicals & plastics as part of its "gum base". Modern synthetic gum bases include: Polyethylene: A common type of plastic used to make items like plastic bags & milk jugs. Polyvinyl acetate: A plastic used in wood glue. Styrene-butadiene rubber: A synthetic rubber used to manufacture car tires. Paraffin wax: A petroleum byproduct. Major gum manufacturers like Wrigley don’t disclose these chemicals, instead choosing to hide them behind the vague term “gum base.” But now you’ll know that whenever you see the term “gum base” on a pack of Doublemint, you might as well be chewing on a set of Michelin tires & washing it down with a thick glass of Elmer’s glue. The FDA allows manufacturers to list "gum base" as a single ingredient rather than disclosing each of its individual components, which includes synthetic plastics & rubbers. The specific formula for a brand's gum base is typically a trade secret. FDA regulations on gum base is basically no regulation at all: A "food additive" category: The FDA classifies "chewing gum base" as a food additive that may contain any number of individual substances. Undisclosed formula: A manufacturer can use any ingredient they coin as GRAS, Generally Recognized As Safe. It is 100% legal to have hidden materials in their proprietary gum base formula without listing them individually on the chewing gum's ingredient label, as long as they are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) or approved food additives. Consumer advocacy: This practice has drawn criticism from consumer advocates who argue that the GRAS designation is overly vague & allows companies to hide potentially harmful chemical additives from the public. Natural Chewing Gum Alternatives: SIMPLY GUM: A widely available and well-known brand of natural, plastic-free gum. It is made with natural chicle, organic cane sugar & natural flavors. Simply Gum is also free of aspartame & other artificial sweeteners. THE HUMBLE CO: This brand offers a sugar-free, biodegradable gum made from natural ingredients. NATHAN & SONS UNDERBRUSH CHEWING GUM: This gum is handcrafted from natural tree saps like acacia, chicle & spruce. The company emphasizes that its gum has a different, sap-based texture compared to conventional plastic gums. CHEWSY: A plant-based, plastic-free & sugar-free chewing gum. Chewsy uses a biodegradable, natural gum base & is sweetened with xylitol. WELDENTAL: This brand is noted for both its plastic-free gum formula & its packaging. The gum comes in plastic-free packaging, such as cardboard tubes & uses a plant-material eco-bag for refills. 👇UCLA Finds Plastics In Chewing Gum👇 👇What Chewing Gum Is Actually Made From👇 👇Microplastics Are Plaquing Up Your Arteries👇 Speaker: @hormonespecialist
