This video was a home run

[@eastcoasteco.9782]

'Organic food is not just about the human perspective,the organic industry aims to educate,prevent chemicals into waterways and soil,and assists farming methods for future generations,this 'knowledge' benefits all species!

[@Sleeper_Banshee]

PLEASE do a video on alkaline water vs tap, filtered, etc. This is a hot topic at my work. Everyone at my work is obsessed with alkaline water.

[@KeepCalmAndDieAlone]

Anthony Sullivan OK, I have an advanced degree in Biochemistry so I'll give you the low down. The human body has a blood pH of 7.4 (slightly basic). This range is closely regulated within 0.5 pH range via the Bicarbonate Buffer System. Alkaline water has no effect on blood pH or stomach acid chemistry. Alkaline water is all complete bullshit.

[@Mrsambuman]

Also if it would change ph it would be stupid cause you need acidic stomach for getting all the nutrients, and it could only alkalize your stomach(a little)

[@lancec849]

Funny how the placebo effect works. That, and I'd imagine anyone who's hopped on the alkaline water bandwagon most likely increased their water intake enough to make actual changes in their appearance or health.

[@Prophetelf]

I think people confuse "Organic" for fresh, and man did he nail it in the video!

[@joshwoods7625]

As a commodity farmer AND an agricultural student, I couldn't agree and back the science behind this video more. Consumers tend to not actually know anything about the food they're buying and buying into whatever they see online.

[@bobysooper878]

Josh Woods as a fruit farmer who has a lot of experience in growing conventional, IPM, and organic fruit, I can back everything he said.

[@Mylada]

Being the head of state, PhD in art history, and the minister of hypertrophy in Denmark, I can confirm, all that is said above is in fact factual as fuck Best regards- Dr. Von und Zu Stroopwoofle

[@bigjbo3502]

@@Mylada as a gym rat who never has problems with not wanting to go to the gym I can say that someone who claims they dont have time to workout just simply doesn't prioritize it lol

[@Entropize1]

Organic vegetables I buy definitely have a longer shelf life. Also, fish is definitely an exception to this video. It is widely documented that wild fish is healthier and more nutritious than farmed fish.

[@christianpetrilli9703]

I can never find a flaw or discrepancy in any of these fitness myths videos with dr mike that he does not address or counter himself... great info and analysis

[@yetanotherRjven]

Honestly one of the best JTS for the "general public". Dr. Mike is extremely articulate and very respectful. You don't change someone's mind by telling them they're wrong and stupid. I regularly come back to this video and have shared it around me.

[@GiorgioPagnoni]

We want the hypertrophy guides!

[@SalGOfficial]

Love this video! You just saved me tons of arguments.

[@kane5445]

This video doesn't address grass fed pasture red meats vs conventional

[@eugenepoon]

Red meat next, controversial topic

[@DJHEV]

Michael Shipman Lmao can't tell if srs

[@Bubbles95]

I cannot express how much I love this channel

[@Darkzezette]

we actually can feed everyone in the world. We produce 2700kcal per day per person (including those who die of sarving). The problem is not the production (well it is because we waste so much) but distribution.

[@12345678abracadabra]

He says we can't feed everyone organically. There's not enough land for it

[@LaceyDunn]

YESSS thank you!! I was JUST writing an article for TRAIN mag on this!

[@FalafelManiac]

"Always be skeptical." This man is a fountain of wisdom. Legendary.

[@cullidge]

Kudos Dr. Mike good info. This guy knows how to talk to people who don't want to hear it.

[@SquatSimp]

Great video, I think another misconception worth mentioning would be that buying organic doesn't necessarily mean you're supporting local or small farmers.

[@kagartoe]

Which in most cases is the real organic.

[@dessertstorm7476]

the organic movement was not founded on science, reason or evidence, so I doubt they will be deterred by science, reason or evidence.

[@kzelmer]

Exactly. Trying to argue with morons is moronic.

[@topladnigel6079]

I'm glad they made it, it's been useful. I never spent any time looking into this before and assumed organic was better.

[@emreero]

As told in the video, there was no clear definition of organic at first, so i don't think there was a clear common goal of "organic mouvement" either. Also the definition of "organic" changes per country; so what's organic, let's say in france is different that what's organic in the states, that's by definition. The fact that organic food has lover pesticides by the way, is founded on science and on common sense, in probably every country. Lots of people are willing to pay for the best ingredients, so why not buying fresh organic ones if you have the money and the difference does not bother you? just saying...

[@wilaustu]

Let's not turn this into an us vs. them thing, dude. That's what's really moronic, and petty. The idea of organic being healthier appeals to conventional wisdom and good intentions, but as it turns out based on scientific research it's not such a true statement. That's all you have to tell people. I assumed organic was better until I heard Dr. Mike's arguments and now my view has changed.

[@dessertstorm7476]

conventional wisdom is often complete BS especially when it's based on the fallacy that more natural = more healthful

[@duncanthaw6858]

Sadly, they dont sell conventional whole grain flour in the local stores, only organic.

Love the videos, it would also be excellent to have some of the ‘footnotes’ to use for reference

[@johnd5619]

i love this intro jam

[@austinphillip2164]

The way Dr.Israetel speaks and some of his mannerisms, remind me of Ben Pakulski.

[@shan6736]

Are you working for Monsanto now? If only our safety agencies and NIH weren't being bribed by the major chem companies, we would have accurate studies. Use common sense. My local rivers are unsafe to recreate on or fish from for various reasons, including pesticide run-off.

[@Mike71730]

This argument is air-tight. Lots of thought and research was put into this and you came out with great supporting reasons for your claim. Nicely done. 👍🏼

[@rajandhillon4836]

As a farmer who grows "organic" this is spot on

[@frustrateduser666]

Dr. Israetel, slaying one myth at a time. We need more people like you in the strength and fitness industry to cut the bullshit myths down using scientific principles and studies.

[@jflanny]

Chad, can you make a video fully detailing your recovery from your back injury?

[@lancec849]

Love the content, Mike & JTS. A topic I'm very interested in is the effects of marijuana on exercise performance. I know this isn't a topic you guys touch on typically, but you may find it interesting if you're not already familiar with it. Sure, most know that it's bad for your lungs if smoked, it makes you hungry, etc., but most don't know the deeper side effects. I've read plenty of articles on the topic which seemed to contradict one another, but it's time to cut the bullshit. For me, I smoke at night because it was one of the first things that actually allowed me to get a good night's sleep. Now I'm finding that strains higher in THC keep me awake almost more than not smoking at all, while other strains knock me out and allow me to wake up fresh instead of waking up multiple times per night. Now one of the articles I read showed that weed reduced REM sleep and prolonged slow wave sleep. This seems like it could be a good thing considering slow wave sleep is beneficial to muscle recovery and the release of HGH. One downside I can see with this is the fact that REM sleep is reduced. From what I've gathered, REM sleep is highly beneficial to the motor patterns learned through the day in order to really ingrain those movements. If you're in a sport such as weightlifting (where technical proficiency could be considered more important than it is in powerlifting), this is obviously very bad. It seems as though you're taking two steps forward, one step back. So it almost seems sport specific to me where marijuana use has its merits. Increases muscle recovery, reduces ability to fully "learn" the movement patterns you repeated throughout the day. One other article I read (which was all speculation, i believe) claimed that marijuana could alter the mTOR signalling pathway. If this is true, it would seem to counteract the benefits of slow wave sleep's effect on recovery. There is much work to be done in this area, but I think high CBD Indica strains may be beneficial to athletes whereas high THC sativa strains may be detrimental. Thoughts, if any? Thanks again for this content, we appreciate the work you guys put in. I look forward to hopefully meeting with you all some time in the future, not as a fan, but either an elite level athlete or coach.

Awesome video! thanks Dr Mike!

[@fbulderin2415]

Preach it man! Good stuff.

[@Mversluis93]

I love you for making this video

[@Masonsayshello]

I think the problem is just what you mentioned Doc. People think “oh I’m eating organic, I’m healthy” but they’re eating chips and juices. I don’t get everything organic, but certain organic foods definitely taste better, mainly bc it’s more fresh just like Dr. Mike said. I would say, EATING SEASONALLY is the best way to go. Eating seasonal whole foods is the best way to make sure you’re eating quality foods because that is the food that is the most fresh and has traveled the least distance.

[@nmccreight]

Interesting video! In the future could you cite some of the research you're examining? I'd love to read it as a complement to watching the video

Great video Mike!

[@manueldevall1251]

such amazing videos keep going !

[@TheSchnitzel1337]

This video is simply bias because 2 key elements were not adressed I think the long term effect of pesticides on nature as well as the animal well-being was not adressed in the video

[@Praehotec]

Depends on the pesticide. Thats why RoundUp has been so popular for so long. RoundUp gets on the plants its applied to, it kills what it's supposed to, and the residue leftover breaks down in the soil without lasting for a long time or being transferred to places that were unintentional.

[@davidzahry]

The number one guy in the world who understands EVERYTHING that is going on behind the scenes in terms of the issues with organic food, the bogus organic food labels that are supported by companies like mars bars, M & M, General mills and others is Paul Chek. REAL organic food is going to generally require an individual to order from a local farm, grow their own food, become a part of a co-op or head to the farmers markets and know how to ask the right questions. On another note the Demeter association has shown beyond a shadow of a doubt that there is a method of farming that produces food far more nutritious than Organically grown food and regenerates the health of the soil at an exponential rate compared to Organic farming. It is known as BioDynamic farming. Unfortunately I cannot remember the numbers off the top of my head, but below is a link to the first video in a five video series by Paul Chek (best Holistic Health Practitioner in human history IMO and a Legendary Strength Coach) on "What Is Organics?" He goes in depth about the politics going on behind the scenes, how the sun and moon interact with the soil and why things like Organic matter and microorganisms are so important. He grew up on a farm and has spent a lifetime making a career of helping people heal who were "deemed" medical failures by other approaches like the Allopathic medical system, physical therapy, psychology etc. All of this on top of being a Legendary Strength Coach. It wouldn't surprise me if the JTS coaches know who he is. I'm not saying Dr. Mike Israetel is wrong. I completely agree with him on some aspects. Buying conventional if it is all you can afford is FAR BETTER than buying BS. I'm simply saying he has not looked nearly as deeply into what Organics is as Paul Chek has. I myself have to constantly educate friends, family and clients about BS organic labels and how to find the real stuff these days. As stated above your best options are co-ops, ordering from nearby farms for direct to door delivery (ideally after visiting the farm to see what's really going on), and farmer's markets. Organic and Biodynamic farming are about both improving the health of a dying planet and improving our own health, both of which are required to experience human life to the highest level (meaning, fulfillment). My final note is that scientific studies have approved every drug that has ever had to pull off the market for KILLING thousands of people. Let's keep that in mind when we're talking the health of the planet and the studies saying "conventional farming isn't killing people or the planet." Let's not forget that in 1967 a bought and paid for Harvard study said that SATURATED FAT rather than SUGAR was the cause of HEART DISEASE. WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE FOLLOWING THAT ADVICE TO THIS DAY AND SUFFERING IMMENSELY BECAUSE OF IT, my own mother being one of them. A lot of science is bought and paid for these days and we must always remember that. WHAT IS ORGANICS? PART 1 - By Paul Chek kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXrdn3Skead3lcU - If you have the time here is a podcast Paul did very recently where he goes in depth about the soil and what we can do to contribute to the healing of it and ultimately the planet. I SUGGEST WATCHING the 5 part series first and then proceeding to the podcast. ONNIT PODCAST WITH PAUL CHEK - kzbin.info/www/bejne/n5_OeZ1-haxjrq8 Thank you for reading. Let us all aim to become Holistic Humans, heal the planet and help others heal every single day. Much love, David Zahry :)

[@ragnsanfinnvalla1717]

Sounds great. Can someone link the most significant articles/research on this?

[@Docsharpie]

Awesome job Doc! Can we talk GMO next? One other point with regard to low income families, some low income areas, like Newark NJ, there are very few options for eating healthy, organic or not. Fruits and vegetables are just not that available which leads to poor nutrition for much of the population of those areas.

[@kagartoe]

The term for those places is "Food desert"

[@ceili]

Could you please post link to the research that you are referencing in this video.

[@madeofhatred]

I had also read that certain organic pesticides were more harmful to health than conventional pesticides...

[@Foward13Observer]

S.T. Oner probably just propaganda

[@lideanmills4534]

Nope. Solid fact. The LD50 isn't hard to look up on pesticides. Rotenone and Cooper Sulfate are way more harmful than Round Up which has a "safer" LD50 than table salt.

[@NateSmith87]

Excellent.

[@DennisAndresen80]

am i the only one seeing Bane whenever Dr Mike starts to talk?! ;)

[@blairparkinson8118]

Its an ethical decision that's it. I really hate the term "Organic Food" its stupid, if it grows then it is organic. if it is grown in the earth then its organic. All organic means is its is a living organism. Why not just call it Chemical free or naturally grown

[@wilaustu]

Giving things more descriptive labels, as opposed to something vague, does sound like a good idea.

[@sidneybales9062]

blair parkinson even more specific is that it is SYNTHETIC chemical free. Organic food growers have to use nearly 3x more fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides because the organic chemicals just aren't strong enough. While the population wants organic they also want their foods to Look like the regular products. So the organic grower has to add more of everything. Organic is complete junk science. Look at the definition of "natural " which is even more ambiguous. You are right. Somehow it has been turned into an health thing when it is truly an ethical thing with decisions made with emotions

[@blairparkinson8118]

Yes that would be a good name change Sidney Bales

[@bradbuckinghamhandsomeprin6027]

I thought the title said organ food (like liver, gizzards, tripe, heart, mountain oysters) at first glance. A video about the benefits or lack of them in organ foods would be interesting.

Dont know how its in the US, but here in Europe organic also means better treatment of animals etc

[@collinmurphy1903]

Love the videos. I have a question, no judgement I'm just curious if I did your program, will I look like you?

[@Mikaeel84]

I don't agree with the nutritional statements made. I have been comparing nutritional values on organic vs normal foods for over a decade and there is a difference. Non organic food is sprayed with chemicals that are being stacked on each other year after year accumulating, what's going to happen when you can't drink spring water or eat river fish because pestacide run off? Look at the round up lawsuit if you think it's of no concern. Also on feeding the world, we have a population problem, not a food problem. We need to solve that because if the population keeps growing we will NEVER have enough food. The nutritional problem with food mainly lies in farmers not rotating crops(which is required for a food to be considered organic) so they can fit as much food as possible in each harvest. Come to my house and eat a organic bell pepper grown in my back yard vs a local non organic bell pepper and I promise you taste the difference. Everyone else that I know tastes it too and half of them don't buy organic. Peppers don't stay fresh long so the fresh food statement on taste doesn't apply here. On the poor people subject, there are countless videos on how to eat organic on a budget and I used to be someone who needed to do so himself because of being poor. It's very possible. Most of the poor people I know/knew have a budgeting problem and if you gave them an extra 500 a month they would blow it. If you don't believe me go to the hood or trailer park right after tax refund season. And finally I would say that the biggest difference between organic and non would be meat. Let alone not ingesting hormones or antibiotics, or feeling bad u supported animals being raised in fucked up conditions, go buy grass fed organic ground Chuck then normal and tell me there's not a big difference. draxe.com/is-organic-really-better/

[@boulandrousset8193]

[@krakowian]

Can you point to the research/scientific papers you are referring to?

[@cellardoor8943]

Could dr Israetel make a video about the golgi tendon organ and whether "desensitizing" it is bro science or not?

[@tylerkeen5224]

What are you referring to? That sounds pretty specific for bro science and I haven't heard that one before.

[@cellardoor8943]

it's basically a reflex that prevents you from lifting weights that are too heavy,so you don't get injured.And supposedly you can desensitize that reflex by doing heavy ego lifting and partial reps with super heavy weights (pin squats,board presses etc).It sounds stupid to me ,but I would like to hear an expert's opinion.

[@tylerkeen5224]

Cellar Door I was aware of what they were, wasn't sure what the bro science was. I haven't read any literature specifically towards that but I'd venture to assume that even if it does effect them the much greater threat for injury would be increased shear forces on tendons and muscle imbalances. I am interested as to whether anyone has more insight but I think the overarching response is to just not partial rep/ ego lift

[@mmalex91]

[@EliteFitnessEvolution2024]

great video. stick to the basics first. eat whole foods. then if you can take further measures

[@12345678abracadabra]

Good news, new research shows that organic can ultimate be more environmentally bad, and some organic regulation bodies allow more pesticide than convention, likely due to insistence of avoiding gmo crops which require less pesticide, and the belief that a lot of organic pesticide is still better a little bit of non-organic pesticide

[@alliecravulz]

That's just valid for the US right? In Europe the organic standards are higher or?

[@vlossity]

Loved the video, what is your stance on organic meats? I understand that antibiotic-resistant bacteria found in conventionally farmed meats are killed during cooking, but what about the hormones? Can these have a significant affect on the body's hormones?

[@williambrown7437]

Organic meats are no better for you than conventional for the most part. They may have a higher amount of fat as their organic counterparts but you can always find leaner cuts of conventional meat for half the price. For the most part, there aren't any hormones in the meat and most hormones are broken down in the stomach.

Who also own so called organic farms 🤔 What do you think is going to happen to the results of those studies when comparing organic to non-organic? LOL the food is coming from the same place! Of course there is no difference in nutrient content or a decrease in harmful chemicals.

[@kagartoe]

methyl iodide

[@Biolo-G_KJ]

But! 1: Conventional farming uses alot more manure, which spills out alot of N, P and K into nearby rivers and streams which cause eutrophication and acidification of the land. 2: Secondly it's much more prone to call on diseases because of the monoculture. This monoculture also harms the foodweb of the ground (mycorizza-soilbasis etc.) way more which fucks up the land and makes it non functioning for a very long time. 3: And thirdly the pesticides do harm alot of the top predators because of the accumilation in the foodweb. In those cases organic is way better. But to be fair. We just have to many humans, we need to shrink the world population in order to sustain our world.

[@jaz_ok]

lets cut right to the heart of the matter , who can answer this , before western food with all it's processing , chemicals , additives , preservatives etc , diabetes , heart disease , cancer etc was nill , then along comes western food SAD , and as time goes on diabetes , heart disease , cancer skyrocket and i'ts getting worse , what is the reason for this who has an idea ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

[@christianjorns5378]

jaz ok You're talking processed food, which is known to have unhealthy examples. This video is about conventionally farmed foods vs organically farmed foods, both of which have almost negligible negative effects on health.

[@jaz_ok]

Christian Jorns the people from " The truth about cancer " organization say they have researcher and doctors with research that shows the links to cancer and other diseases from pesticides chemicals etc , , also here in Australia the difference between regular eggs and organic pastured eggs is like night and day , and the organic fruit tastes completely different to supermarket fruit , actually supermarket fruit has no taste at all and I don't put it down to it just being about freshness ,

[@Biffybiff]

The lack of taste can be due to fruits and veg being picked and packed before they are ripe. They do this so they can get it to the stores with a longer shelf life.

[@leightonsmith8732]

very true & how is it the organic fruit & veg from my local farmer lasts longer & stays fresher & ripens nicely & supermarket produce goes off in a few days due to the fact that they are in large fridges for weeks before they're put on the shelf!!

[@sidneybales9062]

Jax. How would we even know? Medical science has been able to name diseases in the past 60 years that didn't have names before. My great grandfather died in 1880 from a failure to thrive after he turned 45. We now think it was probably cancer, but who knows? All I know is that we are living longer and stronger than people in late 1800s.

[@geosystem_jim7115]

organic farm food needs more space to produce.. you are miss informing people. Please stop to deliver falses informations

there's just something about eating something that produces it's own pesticides that doesn't sit right... that, and the increased infertility and cancer rates in lab tested mice. guess that's why I dig organic.

[@drewmerz2550]

There's a difference between not processed and organic. Processed foods are what can lead to infertility and cancer, not the fact that it's not "organic"

[@thenotorioussk]

Drew Merz there's a famous photograph of two cobs of corn. Google "are you smarter than a squirrel" and filter for images. one is BT corn and one is organic. they place the two on a pedestal in the woods, to see which the animals will eat and which they won't. guess which one was left over and which one was eaten...

[@newjackhustler77]

the organic corn lost its kernels faster because it has a shorter shelf life. dont believe everything you see. bottom line for me is, if you can afford organic, go for it. cheers

[@drewmerz2550]

That is completely anecdotal and is not rooted in facts whatsoever. And what reason would animals have to not eat the one that isn't altered? They have no concept of science, so why would they deviate from what they know? A squirrel isn't going to take antibiotics either, even if it could save their life...

[@TrainWithCaleb]

thenotorioussk that's cool man you made that choice! If you have a second I would google "difference in digestive system of humans and rats-Alan Aragon" great article on why rats shouldn't really ever be a deciding factor on what we should and shouldn't do! I work for a organic grocery store so in general I think it's cool you are looking out for your health!

[@jthrash841]

Yes, next hormones. The question is: should we concern our selves with hormones added to cattle, chicken, pigs, etc. ? I saw a KZbin video where the guy claimed there is estrogen in the water, milk, meat....

[@mrbentleyturnbull]

What about organic animal products? I've heard organic meat is better because the don't fill the animals with hormones.

[@malky736]

Top tip: buy cheaper conventionally farmed foods but give them the organic feel by coating them in manure. It works out cheaper than buying genuine organic foods.

[@maxalexander31]

Was this sponsored by Monsanto?

[@punanilover4934]

Are you one of those 'GMOs are bad' fanatics?

[@Foward13Observer]

Haha this video is a bust! Stating that the nutritional value is net approximately the same?! Those studies (That weren't properly referenced) DID NOT measure levels of Phytonutrients or enzymatic co-factors!!! Not to mention the fact that organic vs conventional is all about QUALITY vs QUANTITY. The only argument against organic is really quality control if its organic from out of country, and the earths soil is severely depleted of many nutrients that is needed for food similar to before the Industrialization period started.

[@drewmerz2550]

ONLY argument against it? did you even watch the video or do proper research, or look at Chipotle's major outbreak of e coli? Stop being in denial. You're fighting a cause that has no merit. Eat healthy, and encourage others to do the same. Why do you have to attack non-organic. There is a massive reason why pesticides are used; hence why some pesticides are still used on organic foods. Stop being ignorant

[@MrAnymeansnecessary]

Though not quite as tangible as nutrition science (we'll call it), the point that's not discussed (because honestly, most americans are way to shallow to grasp this) is that Montsanto has enormous (ENORMOUS) control over global nutrition. The first thing that jumps out is the positive aspect of this; a very well connected, powerfully funded corporation can be responsive in real time to minute changes in global food consumption. but think about that, why should profit be contemplated as part and parcel of FOOD. Fucking food, shit some people dont even have. Why wouldn't it be better if control and governmental/capitalistic affiliations were force severed? What if the global eating had integral control over their own diet? What if commodity sharing were direct from people to people? Sure, about a thousand people on the entire face of the earth would go broke, but who gives a fuck? Let them fend for themselves

[@jeremycrow1796]

I respect both you and this channel when it comes to lifting knowledge but it's clearly evident you're out of your depth here! I work on a organic farm and several things you said just aren't true. IDK if the studies you were reading were produced by Monsanto, as is normally the case, but no one has any idea how many cases of cancer are attributed to pesticides each year. Basically what you're saying is its OK for them to drench your food in poison and that has NO effects on the plant/soil microbiology!? Stick to talking about your expertise otherwise you're misinforming a lot of people. Cheers

That's not what HE is saying. That is what the vast majority of the scientific literature says.

[@jeremycrow1796]

Brock Martin The vast majority of information is co-authored by scientists receiving grants from GMO magnates. I don't care if Einstein or Tesla said GMOS are ok! GMOS were created to withstand more poison (Roundup) because the plants and bugs are creating a tolerance. Where do you think that poison goes? Why are we as a civilization seeing such a coincidental spike in pesticide use and cancer? It's common sense. You eat all the poison you want. BTW I'm sure the fact pesticides are killing off earths best pollinators, the bee, is of no consequence to these "scientists". Look up Einsteins quote on bees and you'll get a sneak peak inside Pandoras box.

well said, this video is complete horseshit & he clearly is clueless in the fact that many many scientists are funded by the very people that are in bed with big pharma to create sickness & disease for the purpose of greed!!

[@jeremycrow1796]

Leighton Smith Agree 100%.

[@jeremycrow1796]

TheJuranomo My position is solid. I've said nothing about conspiracy theory yet you interject it into the conversation because you have no argument. It's OK keep eating that Roundup and drinking that sodium flouride. Simpleton

this guy always makes me cringe. I don't know why I watch this. I don't mean to troll because it's not my thing but I do have a few concerns with this and other videos of his. why doesn't he name the scientific journals that support his claims? where are his statistical figures that support his analysis? personally, I eat organic on flesh foods that I end up eating the skin such as strawberries, apples, grapes but food like avocados where the skin is peeled I just go for what's availableand cheap. also, I don't know where you shop that organic foods are that expensive, I'm usually paying maybe another $1 on items that are $10 or so. $1 over x amount of times isn't gonna break me.

Citing sources in a video would lose people’s interest and distrust their attention. He has them, just continuing to say “according to” over and over would be impossible to listen to.

[@sumsar01]

Why would he cite meta studies? If you want to read thousands of papers go ahead. But unlike all the retards the cite studies they aren't even qualified to read, Mike is actually a qualified scientist.

[@purplebeast1627]

Pesticides vs peanuts is an argument? Shouldn't the argument be various types of pesticides and no pesticides? Also, how are these cancer rates determined and who put out the studies?

[@purplebeast1627]

Replying to myself. Also, to show how little value mainstream science has, let it be pointed out that for a long time we were told fat and salt is bad. As for the effects of GMOs, how are they studied? Unless one takes a long term approach say over 20+ years, it can't really be demonstrated what the effects of GMOs are.

[@RobertRedway]

I hate videos where it's just talking.

[@RobertRedway]

It would be better if there were weights being moved or other action worthy of video. Hell, visuals of food, infographics etc would also work. Might as well do a podcast.if it's gonna be a guy sitting.

[@arandom.potato]

Your argument saying you shouldn't worry about pesticides because there's chemicals everywhere is pretty sad and closed minded. "The pesticide atrazine can turn male frogs into females that are able to mate and successfully reproduce. Here, two male frogs mating. The larger animal on the bottom has been completely feminized by atrazine exposure and can produce viable eggs. Original Image Credit: Tyrone B. Hayes, the University of California, Berkeley."

[@SugarWeasel1227]

If you have to worry about pesticides, you'd better be worrying about getting shot, getting raped, or getting sold trafficked because those are much more likely to occur than getting cancer from pesticides. It's fine that you want to avoid pesticides, but you'd better never leave your house because there are much more deadly things out there.
