I’m stuck in the U.S.

There is a lot of junk ingredients in U.S food, which can be a problem for mental health; as the human brain is influenced by and influences the gastrointestinal area.[1][2][3]

To describe this ‘gut-brain’ relationship in other terms: stomach conditions can change the general behavior of someone. The Brain-Gut relationship means that you can change the behavior of a person by changing the food they eat.

I think the U.S food industry outright drugs the people with addictive and junk ingredients (added sugar) to suppress class consciousness and marxist thought.

So how do I deal with the withdrawal of U.S food?

      Anything cold processed is good. Coconut, olive oil, avocado oil, real butter. Palm oil is ok too put I hate the palm oil industry and palm oil “natural” PB is a scam. Here’s some videos that started me down that rabbit hole. Dude presenting the shit isn’t the greatest but he gets the point across and the videos are good summaries. https://youtu.be/OGLwGOvvWeg https://youtu.be/-T79dJI3xIw

          When you get the oil out of say, olives, you don’t heat them. You just press the olives and collect the oil. In order to process the oils out of say soybeans or cotton seeds the seeds/oil it repeatedly heated as a part of the extraction and purification process.

              The issue is how hot, how long, and how many times you heat it. Heating some olive oil to cook in your home isn’t going to be like what they do with these seeds oils. Sure it might cause a little degradation but in general it’s nothing to worry about. You aren’t stripping away all the other good stuff that comes with the oil. Compare that to soybean oil which is so refined and purified that it isn’t considered “soy” anymore. You don’t have to put soy allergy ratings of anything with soy oil in it because of that. So I don’t fret with using olive oil. If you are terribly worried try coconut. It’s basically all saturated fat and no omegas so you don’t have to worry about throwing off your omega 6 to 3 ratios.

              This all being said I wouldn’t want to like, deep fry, in olive oil or something.

                  He has a lot of good ones and usually has most of the sources in the video description. Most of them focus on insulin resistance and how our modern diet is just all complete bullshit put in place by people getting rich off poisoning us.

                  Even the “low sodium” diets are controversial in their long term effects on blood pressure and insulin resistance. https://youtu.be/SVNkGOv05v0
