Something my Father-in-law found...
Impossible Foods, co-founded by Google, Jeff Bezos and Bill Gates, has taken its product, a totally fake plant based hamburger, internationally, setting its sights on countries such as Australia and New Zealand, as well as Europe and Asia. I was not aware of the ownership structure of this compnay, this is on a par with the Vaxx, but much more subtle.
For instance, the Impossible Burger is made with soy leghemoglobin (heme), a color additive produced in a genetically engineered yeast. The ingredient, used to make the burger appear to “bleed” like real meat, never underwent adequate safety testing, according to the Center for Food Safety (CFS).
Last year, CFS challenged the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) approval of soy leghemoglobin. CFS claimed that because the ingredient is “new to the human diet, and substantial quantities are added to the Impossible Burger, the FDA should have required extensive safety testing before approving its use as a color additive, as required by law.”
CFS said in its lawsuit that soy leghemoglobin is made using “genetic engineering on steroids,” a process they say has “virtually no regulatory oversight.” Animal studies commissioned by Impossible Foods found soy leghemoglobin caused inflammation or kidney disease and possible signs of anemia.
But Impossible Foods dismissed the findings as “non-adverse” or as having “no toxicological relevance.” Despite the legal challenges, a federal appeals court in May upheld the FDA’s approval of soy leghemoglobin.
The Impossible Burger is now in grocery stores and restaurants nationwide. It is also expected to hit schools K-12 after Impossible Foods secured Child Nutrition Labels, a voluntary food-crediting statement authorized by the U.S. Department of Agriculture.
One may conclude that Gates, Google and Bezos are wealthy enough to be able to claim that what they promote is so useful to their customers that it does not require testing and approval. One could ponder the question whether or not the FDA, USDA, CDC, HHS are merely divisions of the Gates cabal. One might also assume that a food that lacks nutritional value, attacks the kidneys and shows signs of causing anemia would be a valuable adjunct to the Vaxx and enhance its lethality.
My step-daughter has been a vegetarian for several years now and buys this crap. She is 30 years old, has arthritis, and can't figure out why her hair is falling out. I've tried to tell her she need to eat meat, but I'm a conspiracy nutjob.
I remember a girl I knew back in the 90's went vegan. Same thing happened. Her hair was falling out and she was super unhealthy. Back to eating some meat and all the sudden she was fine.
You can be a vegetarian but it takes work to do it right and be healthy.
We have a vegan friend who would also work out a lot and tout his veganism proudly to everyone. This guy finally pushed himself too hard (sarcasm here since he actually only added a part time time job on top of just working out on occasion) and ended up in the hospital because of a pimple on his butt. Doesn't sound very healthy to me 🤷♀️
🤣👆🏼...now THAT's funny right there!
Not to mention most Vegans look like they aged an extra 20 years.
Some of the sickest patients I ever treated were vegans - especially women if they were runners or other types of extreme athletes. It seemed to work okay for them in their twenties and early thirties - or so they thought. By the time they hit their forties they had the skeletal structures of an eighty year old with no muscle mass - they were always cold even in the heat of summer and they were very prone to shatter types of fractures that often required surgical intervention. They had several nutritional deficiencies and had a wasting type of symptomology. Essentially, their bodies were cannibalizing themselves. Never been a fan because most vegans in my experience did not manage it properly. They assumed they were healthy. Veganism was like a religion for some to the point of militancy and it was very hard to give them nutritional advise. These were some of the most difficult patients because they did not want to admit that the path they had been on was not a good one for them or were they willing to change what they were doing.
You answered your own observation - "Never been a fan because most vegans in my experience did not manage it properly."
As a clinician I was there to advise my patients as to what constituted a healthy diet, and in all honesty, I could not advise following a vegan diet based on my observations. Unfortunately, the vegans I dealt with that were having problems were unwilling to admit their diet was the cause of most of their health issues. It was like dealing with someone that was part of a religious cult. It did not matter what evidence they were shown, their own bias would not allow them to even entertain the thought they may have been mistaken. Much like the vaxxine crowd - a solid brick wall of cognitive dissonance.
Kinda like the vaxx cult, eh?
Whenever my health starts to decline, ill look into this. As of right now though, wife and I have no signs of ailing health 💪🏻. 3+ years of doing it right I guess lol!
I was recently reading a book on how to eat right for healthy teeth and the author mentioned how he had never encountered vegetarians with good teeth. on occasion indians will balance their diets correctly, but typically it's extremely hard to do right. Veganism just seems impossible and sounds very unhealthy.
Yes, dental issues seem to also go along with any type of nutritional deficiency state. Most vegans eat a lot of carbs that create acidity in the mouth. Teeth are not a alkaline mineral storage for the body and are only attacked from the outside and not internally when it comes to mineral breakdown. But, poor nutrition can weaken teeth because they are fed internally. A lot of my vegan patients also had gum disease due to the lack of protein intake that led to tissue weakness and breakdown.
Honestly, bad teeth start in childhood and in some cases before birth. Adults can spend a lot of money trying to fix the damage that started in childhood when they did not care about their teeth - no matter how conscientious they become as adults. The damage is already done. All the highly processed, high sugar content foods children like, and parents buy, set them up for a lifetime of dental problems. There was nothing more heartbreaking than to see kids at about 12 with rotten teeth knowing they most likely would be in dentures by the time they reached their thirties. The younger a person is when they get dentures, the faster the bone in the jaws goes away. That is why people look like Popeye. The bone that originally held teeth reabsorbs.
Like I mentioned, I never had a patient that was vegan that got it right. So, I have to assume it must be very difficult to pull off.
This is very interesting! Good to have confirmation from a doctor
Peanuts and tomatoes are really inflammatory
A week ago I was looking at foods that were natural sources of Quercetin which, besides helping your body process zinc, is an anti-oxidant that is supposed to reduce inflammation. Tomatoes populated almost every list I ran across. Man, you just can't win for losing.
I don't think the poster was correct on tomatoes. In a skin care book I had read that was all about reducing inflammation in the body, tomatoes were encouraged. I think it's all about moderation.
I think people who are sensitive to nightshades (like me) get more inflammation from tomatoes. I’ve eliminated tomatoes (though I do like them) and I am much better. Though I have eliminated most inflammatory foods and my health is much better. I should say foods inflammatory to me since everyone is different. Though the key does seem to be fixing your gut first, which requires eliminating inflammatory foods, at least temporarily.
I know. Peanuts are a big culprit. I would say if tomatoes aren't causing you pain them they're all right I still eat some even though I eat keto I don't eat a whole lot of them. most of my vegetable list that consists of cauliflower and broccoli and zucchini are cruciferous vegetables and things like kale I don't eat kale but it's on the diet.
Another cause of "leaky-gut", they say...is tomatoes. Oh well, I'm not stopping eating tomatoes.
darn, those are two of my favorite foods
suppose any 'inflammation' they cause isn't helping my blood pressure...
