Yes, ban it. Ban fossil fuels to. Then watch as half the world staves to death. If you think farmers want to use extremely expensive pesticides just for the hell of it you need to educate yourself. Better solutions are under development, but howling ban everything is simply smooth brained.

Hi doctor, can u plz make a video about Ramen noodles spaghetti and side effects of eating them.

[@eri7-11]

omg I live in Japan and cheap-medium restaurants here have such tasty miso soup, ramen and various foods with sauces and its all high salt/msg and excites my brain cells so much the lights all ge brighter and when I try to sleep i get bad tinnitus that goes bad and good depending how much of this stuff I eat, doesn't take much. Japanese seem to eat 3x more salt/msg. In Japan 98% are so thin, they are careful of what they eat, walk/bike/gym/active hobbies more, drink more unsweetened beverages, from a kid taught to control sugar/junk/weight and a lot more pure pressure to stay thin (including stores don't make a lot of obese-sized nice clothing, esp in the smaller cities). But the few men with fat stomachs here are the ones eating ramen regularly and not getting active. Ask your son if he wants to be an overweight (or even obese) man in his 50s with no wife, just like my hubby's ramen eating younger brother.

[@sonialove8478]

Yvonne, all your videos are very helpful since most people are not aware of these toxic substances in nearly everything we touch. I studies public health so I’m aware of some of these and have tried through the years to minimize the exposure they my family gets. But how can we even live, mainly everything had been touched and the food supply is so corrupted and poisoned what do you do for yourself and your family. Seeing all the videos one by one seems very hard to the lay person or as a matter of fact someone who is very experienced in the subject of toxicology, therefore do you have a book or list of practical daily life examples of how a person overall can try to lower this toxic load? It’s not as simple to put together since if you think about it all vegetables, even all grains have been corrupted with chemical or genetically modified and I’m going as far as thinking geeze what about the stove what if the oven coated with?! It’s seems very challenging, not sure if even the legumes have been corrupted or poisoned since I thought these might be the ones we can be less weary of like beans or lentils?! I really appreciate this information that you are providing, it be great for you to have a comprehensive article or book to assist with this, unless you do and I’m not aware of? Meanwhile to those who are trying to protect their families as much as they can by eating healthy whole plant based foods and avoiding chemicals, I’d also say as mothers and sisters as wives we need to fight the enemy and pray to our LORD JESUS CHRIST AND GOD THE FATHER FOR HIS protection because only in God is their true life in eternity with Him and Jesus. I will pray and I pray we all pray together for our children and families because what these evil people have done to poison us all will be judged by God. But while we are here let’s pray for each other and not buy some of these evil products and like you said in another video, try to seek wisdom from God, to get back to the originality of how our ancestors cooked and cared for themselves before this evil industrial and agricultural industry greed took over the world and how we have and are paying the deadly consequences of actions of wicked men who took over Gods creation and tried to destroy it. But do not loose faith because God is in control and with His love we can overcome anything and He will guide us in peace and truth. I hope you can maybe direct me to more of these studies you discussed or additional resources for further research if there are some you highly suggest. Thanks!

That's great, but the land that organic food is grown on once had these chemicals on it so it's still in the soil, and the groundwater. Today, organic only means they don't add more toxins to it (supposed to be anyway, but that's debatable too as some things deemed 'organic' simply aren't), but how much does it matter if the ground its grown in and water used to water it is toxic?

While all the things she said in her videos may be true, but these dangers is a price for living in todays society. For example, have you thought about the toxicity of the air that you breathe 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for as long as you are alive? So, use common sense without being paranoid and enjoy life. Unless you want to relocate to a cave in Antarctica. And even then, you will be confronted with another set of problems that may kill you which will be good subjects for future videos.

I had a mini panic attack at the store yesterday, looking for bread! And then again looking for pasta that was grown and made and shipped from Italy... We get all these tidbits of info, but not the answers... When we do our due diligence and research ourselves, the info is so overwhelming, we give up. That's what happened to me with chicken. I get panicked when buying chicken these days. It's starting to happen when I buy eggs now. And we love oatmeal and pasta... We need answers to go with the information...

I love your content regarding toxic foods. I love eating natto for the health benefits. It has lots of vitamin k2 which is only in a few other things like saurkraut and homemade kefir and kimchi which I also eat. But I am not sure if the gmo soybeans with the glyposate is still an issue since it is fermented ? I have been wondering for so long. Could you let me know ? Thanks so much.

[@dryvonneburkart]

Awesome to hear! This is a great question. I don’t know that anyone has measured glyphosate in fermented conventional soy products. It would be interesting to know!

[@johnnovick1643]

@dryvonneburkart Based on two peices of information: #1) The author of the book estrogeneration said that the phytoestrogenic effect of soy is negated by the fermentation process in natto. and #2) The roundup gylposate expert Stephanie Seneff PHD said that saurkraut juice is one of the few things that has been shown to lower glyposate in the cows it was tested on. With this I thought there was a fair chance the natto might be safe. I love that stuff.
