Episode Overview
In Episode 3, host Pete Ferrari exposes the $150 billion supplement industry and its deceptive tactics. From overloaded powders to sugary smoothies and unregulated energy drinks, Pete breaks down how these products often do more harm than good. Backed by research and real talk, this episode urges listeners to skip the hype and build true health with whole foods, clean choices, and trusted information.

Key Topics & Highlights

Introduction to the Supplement Grift
Pete introduces the supplement market, projected to hit $182.5 billion by 2032. He exposes the “snake oil” marketing tactics that lure consumers with buzzwords, fake scarcity, and fit influencers.

Concoction Powders: Metabolic Chaos
All-in-one powders often combine nutrients that block each other’s absorption. Some exceed 500% of recommended daily values, stressing the kidneys and disrupting metabolism.

Smoothie Drinks: Sugar-Loaded Propaganda
Brands like Naked Juice market sugar-heavy drinks as healthy. One Green Machine has 53g of sugar—more than five Snickers bars—plus sucralose and pasteurization that strip nutrients.

Energy Drinks: Corrosive and Unregulated
Monster, ZOA, and Bang pack up to 600mg of caffeine along with taurine, guarana, and artificial sweeteners like Ace-K and erythritol—linked to heart issues, gut disruption, and more. FDA loopholes allow bold health claims with no oversight.

Liver Damage and Addictive Components
20% of U.S. liver toxicity cases are tied to supplements. Ingredients like green tea extract and red yeast rice become toxic at high doses. Stimulants like DMAA (linked to heart attacks) still linger in some products.

Marketing Tricks and Legal Loopholes
From “boosts immunity” claims to influencer scams and fake studies, the industry profits off confusion. Pete calls it modern-day snake oil.

The Jaca Jolt Difference
Pete contrasts Jaca’s clean, allulose-based approach against harmful drinks and powders. Jaca is low glycemic, pure, and safe.
