Prepare Your Own Food

Vegetable oil and seed oils have toxic levels of omega-6. While proclaiming the virtues of omega-3 fatty acids, we crossed over the recommended 2% consumption of dietary vegetable oils a long time ago. Restaurants, processed foods, and the fast-food industry pumps the world full of it. We trusted the food we brought into our homes only to later discover that cancer, obesity, diabetes and macular degeneration blindness are all extremely strongly associated with vegetable oil. For this reason, vegetable oil is one of my Top 9 Neurotoxins in the Food and Water Supply back from episode 4 on November 20, 2024.

Obesity, Diabetes, and Chronic Disease: Is it the Sugar, 'Carbs', Vegetable Oils, or All Three?

What if feeling better from "diet and exercise" inadvertently caused you to avoid vegetable oils, BPA plastic, PFAS forever chemicals, and other neurotoxins? I think that may be part of the reason detoxes and diets help us feel better within a week even though our bodies are laden with toxins for years. If it is the vegetable oil that's causing us to be addicted to different foods, it would really throw off controlled studies.

It turns out that the vegetable oil we’re eating is controlling our brain chemistry in many ways.

Phytoestrogens are in vegetable oils we eat.1

Estradiol affects dopamine (addiction, memory, learning), serotonin (mood) and glutamate systems (excitatory stimulation).2

Estradiol specifically effects the dopamine transporter apparatus within cells.3

Obesity, diabetes, cancer, and age-related macular degeneration (blindness) are all strongly implicated in the YouTube video posted below.

We get a rush of all types of neurochemistry when we take a bite of fast food, frozen foods, restaurant foods that is enough to cause a change in behavior. Taken together, these would cause addiction-reward from eating it, remove objectivity from learning about how food impacts our bodies. We are getting a “dopamine hit” from the vegetable oil alone – even if the food is otherwise healthy for human consumption. Sadly, the largest health correlations impact is on the reproductive centers, breast cancer, menopause, perimenopause, and perhaps the future of human civilization itself.

Scary Waters

The same estrogenic properties in the food are present in public, aquatic environments so controlling our dietary intake is crucial to lowering our risk of disease.4 Opioids and other drugs wash off the property into wastewater and creeks, tributaries, lakes and rivers.5 Antidepressants appear in the very Rhine River in Germany that I used to visit when I was stationed there in the Army in the 1990’s.6 Genes encoded with antimicrobial resistance await you in open waters in Canada.7 “One hundred-eighteen pharmaceuticals determined in drinking water samples from 25 U.S. treatment plants.”8 These included carbamazepine, bupropion, cotinine, metoprolol, and lithium most predominantly.8

Chris A. Knobbe, MD

In 2017, Dr. Chris Knobbe left his ophthamology practice to start the Cure AMD Foundation. Age-Related Macular Degeneration is a Westernized disease. He gives a great presentation about it making the case definitive that vegetable oil is more dangerous than sugar and fat.

Restaurants, fast food, and processed food at grocery stores are overloaded with vegetable oils. Some foods have vegetable oils, but it's supposed to be less than 2% of the total diet to be healthy. Therefore, cooking for yourself is unavoidable to protect your brain, body, and health. It should come as no surprise that the Communists at Harvard University would allow the ongoing recommendation of neurotoxic, carcinogenic, and blindness-causing vegetable oils to cook with for your family. The Harvard List is in direct opposition to Dr. Chris Knobbe's research at the Cure AMD Foundation (Age-Related Macular Degeneration). The healthy people of tomorrow will learn to Mindshift their sources of healthcare education.

The Displacing Foods of Modern Commerce9

I highly recommend supporting the Cure AMD Foundation. Dr. Knobbe is an exemplary physician who has followed the best evidence only to uncover mass poisoning because we don't cook our own food. He left mainstream medicine in 2017 to start the Cure AMD Foundation. While he was discovering the fact that macular degeneration is a Westernized Disease, he incidentally discovered that vegetable oils also drive cancer, diabetes and obesity. Kudos, Chris.

It's not only blindness that's at risk here, it's also cancer, diabetes and obesity. The same can be said of the Top 9 Neurotoxins in the Food and Water Supply.
