TikTok “Dietitians” Are Paid By BIG FOOD?!

The top dietitians in the United States have always had corrupt relationships with food corporations, so it's not surprising that this trend has continued into the "dietitians" of TikTok. Will we ever learn from our past?

If you only rank individual things like fiber content, the cereal looks better. This is an example of why we should always question statistics. Information can be cherry-picked to show a particular outcome.

This also fits with the more recent idea that "consensus" is actually science. Science is about proof. Politics is about consensus

[@AME428]

As a Dietitian I can say that a majority of dietitians are incentivized to do and say what Big Food says. We’re also taught things like seed oils are healthy and animal products are unhealthy. MONSANTO is saving the world with GMOs. Alcohol is “heart” healthy. Which is ironic because the biochemistry and organic chemistry classes we take teach us the opposite of that only in a way that requires thought rather than just being told what to believe and say. You can lose your national registration if you give advice that goes against what they say. Not all dietitians are bad, mostly they are just brainwashed and/or scared to go against Big Food. National registries are a difficult topic because they do protect people by making sure that not just anyone can call themselves something (doctor, paramedic,dietitian) but at the same time it can and is use to control professionals by threatening them with losing their jobs. I could talk about this all day and I’m so glad to see you bring attention to this Brett.

[@billbombshiggy9254]

Everybody keeps saying seed oils are the devil and then I ask for proof and HOW it's bad, like specifically what does it do in your body and how and why, that makes it bad and I never get an answer. I get regurgitated shit from one guy who had a financial incentive to demonize it, and other places that sold supplements. It's very reminiscent of 1990 when they went on a rampage against lard and tallow. I remember that and it's the same thing. I have yet to get a real, scientific, proven answer. So until then, I'll continue to use them. Also real sugar and HFCS isnt the devil either. Same goes for that and the only respectable answer I get is its harmful in large amounts (anything is) and diabeetus. But if youre not a diabetic or pre diabetic, you don't need to avoid it entirely.

[@billbombshiggy9254]

Also awaiting nice scientific proof about how GMOs are harmful (preferably from someone who doesn't think the word organic means "the way God intended").

[@Mubiki]

@@billbombshiggy9254 Yeah, people really need to get over GMOs. They are not the scary food mutations that people make them out to be. If you have ever eaten broccoli or a banana in America, you are essentially eating a GMO. The only difference is it came through selective planting and seed control as opposed to science.

[@black9897]

​@@billbombshiggy9254that's not what people mean when they talk about it

[@billbombshiggy9254]

@@Mubiki and they need to smarten up and realize organic only means "no synthetic pesticides." It doesn't mean "all natural no science the way God intended." It's a selling point and people who think it means anything outside of synthetic pesticides, is being taken for a financial ride. I know a girl who claims she's allergic to anything not organic. That she has to eat organic. She didn't mention anything about pesticides. She went on a GMO rant. Like, I feel so sorry for her husband who has to buy her food.

This is why I will never shame someone for being overweight/obese. I was born in the 70s and I CLEARLY remember the push toward replacing butter with margarine, lard with shortening, using canola oil and other seed oils, switching to low-fat or fat-free dairy, etc etc AS THE HEALTHIER OPTION. Our parents didn't know any better. We didn't know any better. Government agencies intentionally and systematically created an unhealthy society and now it is DAMN hard to get out of that mindset.

[@courtneyw.3754]

[@alexm6715]

You make a valid point but people who are told these things and refuse to lose weight and change their lifestyle should still be shamed. Just because you eat seed oils doesn’t mean you’re automatically going to turn obese. I ate tons of seed oils as a kid and still occasionally have them (yes ik they’re bad) yet my weight and physique are great because I still workout and eat very clean inside the home. People are more incentivized and sensitive to obesity but that doesn’t mean it’s completely out of their control to stay healthy

[@owlblocksdavid4955]

By the way, Brett, the carcinogenic implications of aspartame are highly suspect. The way people do cancer risk is generally pretty associative. So it takes a LOT of association and studies that factor out other risk factors in order to determine carcinogenic properties. I don't know what risk factors were balanced out in the aspartame studies people have done, but, for example, people that drink diet soda are more likely to overweight. If you drink a lot of soda, it might be because you eat a lot of fast food. So saying aspartame is bad for you is possible, but not confirmed by the evidence.

[@dharsheeran]

i don't need no study to tell me that compressed gas from burning coal is carcinogenic. I mean, it shouldn't even be considered food!!

[@DarkAbyss9]

Aspartame is carcinogenic like aloe Vera and baby powder is. Meanwhile red meat and alcohol are higher on the WHOs stupid rating system yet people eat and drink that shit more than aspartame

[@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro]

One bit of advice I got was that there is no sugar substitute that’s actually healthier than sugar. Whether that’s directly because of the substance itself, or how much of that substance must be used to compare to the taste of sugar, it’s a general rule that sugar is your best option. Of course, some sugars are worse than others, and it’s obviously better to just avoid excess sugar as much as possible. However, aspartame is noteworthy in that it’s actually a safe sugar alternative for diabetics.

[@owlblocksdavid4955]

@@DannyDevitoOffical-TrustMeBro I guess my point is, that while I don't know that those people are wrong, I'm suspicious of that claim. Honestly, anytime anyone talks about food and nutrition, I'm suspicious. Whenever someone tells me good news with regards to health, I'm skeptical, because there's generally more incentive to say that something you like (in this case sugar) isn't as bad as something you don't (artificial sweeteners, as most people agree diet soda doesn't taste as good). Now, there's also good news if you say that as artificial sweeteners are fine, because you can eat them and not get fat, so there's certainly incentive in both directions, so that's why I'm suspicious of both sides.

[@keegswl5119]

@@owlblocksdavid4955 So theres been multiple studies on both aspertame and sucralose being carsinagentic to mice in extreme amounts as in close to 1000 times the average serving found in diet soda. So I wouldnt say its healthy but as youve said theres no evidence that it has harmful effects on humans yet. If you have a problem with regularly drinking high calorie drink like soda it could be a good idea to switch to diet variation to aid in weight loss and reduce chance of diabetes, chd and other lifestyle diseases which are the leading causes of preventable deaths after smoking.

A little over 3 months ago i started following a youtuber dietitian and she changed my life. Ive been dieting since i was 12 - 21 years ago - and never had any actual results. I counted calories, i até everything diet light whole, did exercise and never lost weight. I always até very little, so i was actually starving myself daily and never got rid of that 20kg i needed. She preaches to eat like old times, like our grandmas. Vegetables, meat as much as you want, little to almost no industrialized food and lots of natural fats - like butter and meat fat. I lost 10kg already and if help me god ill get rid of the other 10 soon. (By the way 10kg is like 20 pounds). Lets eat real food people, those light/diet/whole foods only exists to make us spend more money and keep us dependent on them, since you’ll never lose weight and keep buying it.

Let's be clear here. Aspartame is carcinogenic only when consumed in unrealistic quantities. As in thousands of bottles of diet soda a day!

Why can't customers decide on the amount of sugar they can eat later? I stopped sugar and started to lose weight. Bought a bread maker and tried a lot without sugar, adding different grains, etc. Buy a cereal grinder, get organic cereal, and make flour out of it. See the difference.

Please do an episode on the "contains bio-engineered food" product labelling. I've been wondering if its just the new way to say GMO or if its worse.

[@pucebracelet2214]

a lot of times they tastes better since they have higher calories and less micronutrients. Nothing nescessarily wrong with them just try not to eat them exclusively. Some bio engeineered food is totally comparable to foods that are "natural" but most are "unhealthy" since they are highly palletable and don't contain what you need. like everything, moderation is key.

This is why I don’t take people who learn from TikTok seriously

[@itsnot_mckenna]

Oh do i have a story about not beliving everything you see online. This happend last night but my brother started going on about how he was watching a magnet fishing video and they found a "live cannonball" my dad and i gave eachother the "are you shitting me look" before we laughed so hard and explained that cannonballs arent live amunition and he just kept fighing us that they were real because they "had a fuse" but yeah dont belive everything on the internet ❤😂

[@GearForTheYear]

I agree with most of what Brett is saying here except for humans living healthily off of the land prior to industrialization. People back then had a life expectancy 30-40 years less than we do now. If we’re eating pure garbage and still living that much longer, I’m not sure that this food is as terrible as Brett is saying. Yes, added sugar should be avoided, but I’m not convinced processed food is actually that terrible for you solely because it’s “processed”. Watch your calorie intake, avoid severe carcinogens, get regular exercise, and you should be okay.

[@larisa1592]

I’m honestly curious if they are lying to us about Organic foods 🧐

[@staceyschmidt3149]

Well, having worked with one part of that industry, people involved from the growers to the producers up through the retailers appear to, at least on occasion, and at least some of them, lie, if it will suit the purposes better than the truth. So I trust actual farmers and ranchers with what they tell you straight from their mouths about what something has been given or grown with sooner than I trust any label on a store bought item. Granted, they can still lie, too. But there are plenty of occasions that they're growing "natural" "organic" stuff, they just aren't paying the government serious money to have the label applied to their produce. And because it's so expensive to get labeling for organic food, often, once a company has gotten the labeling, they do what it takes to keep the labeling, even if it means lying occasionally about whether the feed they provided for the turkeys was organic or not...

[@Super.Aguacate]

You know, if black friday is a sad scam, probably everything else also is a scam 😂... 🙁 Trust is overestimated 😂😂... 🙁 I don't even trust in my own emojis 🧐

[@pucebracelet2214]

there is nothing inherently wrong with processed foods. Greek yogurt is highly processed, as well as whey isolates, both of which are good for you. Nightshade and hemlock are all natural plants, but they will kill you. There is also nothing wrong with fortification of food such as cerial grains and breads, it dates back to the mayans, who cooked tortilllas with lime in order to prevent scurvy due to lack of vitamin C (better than bleeding to death out of every hole in your body). Some processed foods are highly palletable so you eat a lot of them and do not have a good micronutrient profile, and are high in calories, as well as some perservatives that we don't have a lot of research on (not dangerous nescesarily, but safer than eating almonds every day). I do beg you all to understand that most foods you can buy are inherently good just because they are whole, and processed foods are bad. This is such a misunderstanding. Furthermore, chopping, cutting, cooking, baking, pickling, boiling, are all forms of processing. For example, raw steak is not usually good for you as it contains bacteria, a food better when it is processed. it all comes down to macro and micro nutrients. get enought protien, adequite calories, try not to overdo the fats, carbs, and sugars, and just eat foods that have sufficient micronutrients profiles or are fortified.

[@zack6012]

Hmm it's almost beginning to be you can't trust wealthy papered people. Also watch their vocabulary. You see pretty people on tik tok or instagram who can barely form a sentence trying to give you scientific information... yea no. I like the independent youtubers who do thorough experiments and reports. they show you their process so you're free to make your own conclusions. I recently watch a video about organic vs regular chicken. In the end it mainly came down to what is important to you. You pay more for texture, how the chicken was raised, and how much water is in the chicken. I think I'm fine saving money because the texture isn't too important to me and I think although you're paying for more water you still get more lb per $.

[@SpectreTTM]

Your comments at 5:15 sounds like the same logic someone used concerning a certain jab over natural protection.

[@StephanieBogart]

I saw one that did an aspartame experiment on ants and it didn’t kill the ants so it’s fine for humans 😂😂😂 People were BELIEVING her! I can’t 🤦🏼‍♀️

[@Xandarian16]

Ant have different metabolisms than humans. Plus aspartame in larger amounts or on a more regular basis can cause insulin resistance because it tricks the brain into thinking its sugar and releasing insulin that isn't needed. Insulin resistance, if built up enough, becomes type 2 diabetes. Basically aspartame overdone or used on a regular basis can become harmful but a little on a very rare occasion probably won't hurt you.

[@DarkAbyss9]

​@Xandarian16 your information is wrong. Aspartame has zero insulin response, it doesn't "trick your body" You realise diabetics drink diet soda without issues right?

[@CrayolaCoffeeBean]

While I’m not vegan, I’ve learned so much from Freelee the banana girl about researching foods AND the studies that recommend them.

[@megsley]

are you serious?! freelee, who looks like a zombie from eating nothing but bananas, is who you take advice from??

[@CrayolaCoffeeBean]

@@megsleyfirst off, chill the fk out. Second, I learned about RESEARCHING. I’m not eating her recommended diet. I learned what Brett is talking about YEARS ago because Freelee pointed it out.

[@elyssacorbaley8133]

​@@CrayolaCoffeeBeanIdk what this person said, but good for you! When your response makes them delete their dumb comment. 😂💀

[@CrayolaCoffeeBean]

@@elyssacorbaley8133hahaha I wasn’t sure if they deleted it or blocked me so I didn’t want to assume 😂

[@nunocarneiro464]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@gamezdude5544]

The healthiest diet possible, is natural foods, coupled with a diverse (Key word here) diet. Remember years ago they kept saying, 'have a diverse diet'. Well that is because fruit/veg/grains/meat/dairy all tackle different vitamins and minerals. There is no such thing as a one minimal food. Also don't let veganism fool you. You notice the steady increase in processed vegan foods? Yeah, not good for you.

[@OQTIZZLE_ORLANDO]

Vanessa “Vanny” dabbles and gets “mimicked” with “ancient experience” from Afton. She knows everything. It’s like the Saw movies! Well the good ones at least.😂

[@p.c1892]

Yep sounds about right. Also they defend GMOS with their entire being without any education on how agriculture works. I minored in Ag, and my professors would always tell us that organic farming was perfectly naturally able to sustain our country, HOWEVER it’s not in the USDA’s best interest to go organic or sustain better agriculture/farming practices like getting rid of farming monocultures, add more diversity to crops by pairing them with other crops that compliment each other in attracting the right insects to get rid of certain pests, rotate them, compost, give back what the soil used up in nutrients etc. the dietitians only focus on how GMOS (or better named genetically engineered organisms because we have always genetically modified crops) will not harm humans. But also, we don’t know that in the long run if it will affect our epigenetics in future generations

[@Zachery_]

I still like to enjoy an occasional diet soda over a full sugar soda, I know water would be better for me, but oh well

[@SplintaPlays]

I'm sorry but if people fall for these "influencer" bs then you are a fool, the reason why "influencers" are call as such is because people follow like sheep... Come on people, get off social media, make this world a better place to live in

[@carrilucas9664]

“Health professional” is used by people who are NOT dietitians. We go through undergrad, grad school, and 1-2year internship followed by RD exam to become credentialed. These “dietitians” are disgusting to not disclose their biases

[@dawsonhorne8302]

Not disclosing that they’re paid paid is wrong, but diet soda is safe. Water is better of course but you’re so much better off drinking diet instead of regular soda.

[@meganbrennan454]

Thank goodness my mom is an old school RD with the brain to question the weird food trend going on.

[@janeraymond5214]

I read the comments when they posted that food chart. Most called them out on their nonsense, werent fooled by it.

[@Redservasian]

I’m a dietitian also. Unfortunately these monetized dietitians are reducing the credibility and trust of all dietitians.

My Old Pa had diabetes and used artificial sweeteners and drink diet coke like a fish. Later in life he came down with a mystery illness where he was unable to move and showed memory loss, (like dementia but doctors said it wasn't dementia, hence the mystery). Some in our family think it was all the artificial sweeteners he used... Maybe, maybe not.

[@Madmarsha]

Critical thinking. ASK QUESTIONS! Be skeptical!

[@Cupcake_Royale]

Why is it just now that people are realizing this? Especially when it comes to the diet industry. I thought everyone knew not to trust every dietrition since all they care about is being trendy and capitalizing on consumers?

At this point, anyone who isn't correcting their diet by elimination style food strategy, and choose to avoid medicines, are uninformed. Carnivore diet is the best thing I ever did, got my mood into control. And I started getting jacked.

[@amandastjohn4735]

No naturally growing food is bad, because they all come from God, who wills our good.

[@notsmart]

Sorry, but pure meat (and vegan) diets make no sense because humans are omnivores. We need both to obtain the nutrients we need. You can favor meat over vegetables, but you should still consume both

[@Daniel-yl5jl1bi6q]

​@@amandastjohn4735 I don't believe in supernatural deities, however I do agree that humans have thrived for hundreds of thousands of years by eating foods in their most natural forms. Same with every other animal on earth.
