Episode 20: Which is Healthier: Organic Processed Food OR Conventional Produce?

Many “experts” in the fields of nutrition and health advise people to choose conventional produce over organic processed foods under the assumption that it’s simply better to consume whole foods than processed foods - even if they contain pesticides.  Joel and Sina don’t buy into that dogma, and neither do a team of scientists who recently published a study showing an increase in pesticide exposure when switching from a Western diet to a Mediterranean diet.  Join Joel and Sina as they challenge this assumption, which has become the hallmark of “healthy” living protocols across the country.Watch on Rumble:Watch on YouTube:If you have questions, we’d love to answer them on the show!  Please email your questions to [email protected] on RumbleJoel's website: www.polyfacefarms.comSina's website: www.drsinamccullough.comEditor: www.nolangfilmco.comReferences:Study showing changing from a Western diet to a Mediterranean diet results in increased exposure to insecticide, organophosphate, and pyrethroid.  In contrast, changing from a Western diet to a Mediterranean diet composed or organic foods results in reduced exposure to all groups of synthetic chemical pesticides:https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/advance-article-abstract/doi/10.1093/ajcn/nqab308/6412942?redirectedFrom=fulltextStudy showing the location of pesticides in different parts of foods vary with the type of food and type of pesticide as well as environmental conditions.  It also shows that pesticides can be broken down by photolysis, hydrolysis, oxidation and reduction, metabolism, temperature, and pH:https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3907644/pdf/13197_2011_Article_499.pdfStudy showing the quality of ingredients improves, and the number of ingredients decreases as you transition from conventional processed foods to organic processed foods:https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/13/9/3020Disclaimer:  The information provided by Joel Salatin and Sina McCullough, PhD is not intended to prevent, diagnose, treat, or cure any disease.  The information provided in the podcasts, videos, and show descriptions is for educational purposes only.  It is not intended to diagnose or treat any medical or psychological condition.  The information provided is not meant to prevent, treat, mitigate or cure such conditions.  The information provided is not medical advice nor is it designed to replace advice, information, or prescriptions you receive from your healthcare provider.  Consult your health care provider before making any changes to your diet, medication, or lifestyle.  Proceed at your own risk.Joel Salatin and Sina McCullough, Ph.D. specifically disclaim any liability, loss, or risk, personal or otherwise, that may be incurred as a consequence, directly or indirectly, of the use and application of any of the contents of their YouTube channel, Podcast, websites, books, Facebook pages, or any of the content during consulting sessions or speaking engagements.  Proceed at your own risk.  These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
