What the Health

& Kip: The World Health Organization classifies processed meat as a Group One carcinogen, the same group as cigarettes, asbestos and plutonium, and classifies red meat as a Group Two carcinogen. Was this like I had essentially been smoking my entire childhood?

& Kip: Government and media almost exclusively blame lack of exercise and sugary foods as a cause of diabetes. .... What role does sugar play in causing diabetes?
    Dr. Neal Barnard: Driving me crazy. Diabetes is not and never was caused be eating a high carbohydrate diet, and it’s not caused by eating sugar. The cause of diabetes is a diet that builds up the amount of fat into the blood. I’m talking about a typical meat-based, animal-based diet.

& Kip: Is chicken better?
    — It’s a question of whether you wanna be shot or, hung. The flesh food that I would eliminate from the American diet would be poultry, would be turkey and chicken.<
    Kip: A brilliant advertising campaign has convinced people that oh, it’s white meat, it’s healthier.
    — The leading source of Sodium, in the American diet for adults is chicken.

& Kip: So, this old notion that somehow milk is gonna build strong bones or protect your bones later in life, it’s a myth.
    — People that drink milk have higher rates of hip fractures, have more cancer and live shorter lives.

& Breast cancer can be prevented with a healthy diet and lifestyle, but, we’re not. We’re talking about pink ribbons and putting all the money into research for the cure.

& The strategy is not on making their products any safer. The strategy is to just try to confuse the public, to introduce doubt.
    There’s a famous tobacco industry memo. It’s called doubt is our product. That’s all they had to do. They didn’t have to convince Americans that smoking was healthy. They just had to introduce doubt. Then they would win.
    If there’s just enough controversy, people kind of throw up their hands, «I don’t know what to eat.»
    Confusion is their game.


& Kip: Most people in the world are lactose intolerant... Why would your body create this enzyme, just lactose after weaning, after infancy, it doesn’t make any sense. 73% of African Americans are lactose intolerant. 95% of Asians, roughly 70% of Native Americans, and about 53% of Hispanic Americans are lactose intolerant.

& Kip: I had been a hardcore cheese-aholic virtually my entire life, despite the risks. But, like so many others, I seem to have been addicted to it.
    — It turns out that the casein protein, that’s the main protein in dairy products, and particularly in cheese, it breaks apart in the human digestion to create what are called casopmorphins.
Casein-derived, morphine-like compounds that go to the brain and they attach to the very same receptor that heroin attaches to. Don’t get me wrong, they’re not as strong as that, but, they are strong enough to make you come back again and again and again despite the fact that you’re gaining weight, you’re more unhealthy than you’ve ever been, but, that cheese just calls out to people.

& Kip: In internal documents uncovered by Dr. Greger, the USDA admitted that eggs cannot legally be called nutritious, low fat, part of a balanced diet, low calorie, healthful, healthy, can’t say it’s good for you or, even safe. Yet they still promote these products to the American people through federal checkoff programs.

& Kip: So, McDonald’s, for instance, has six people staffed full-time, according to records we found, whose salaries are paid for by this government program but, funded by the producers who are regulated by it. And these six people sit there at McDonald’s headquarters and just come up with ideas.
    — Triple cheese decker McCheese muffin stuffed bacon cheese slider?..
    — ... With extra cheese? ....
    — The Wendy’s Bacon Double Cheeseburger!
    Kip: Government program.
    — The steak fajita at Dunkin’ Donuts!
    Kip: Government program.

& Kip: In the US, treating chronic disease, such as heart disease, cancer and diabetes is a $1.5 trillion industry. That’s the GDP equivalent of the 10th richest country in the world.

& — First of all, all protein is made by plants. I’ll state that again for the record. All protein is initially made by plants, all of it. And it is not necessary to eat animal tissue in order to get protein. Only plants have the ability to actually take nitrogen from the air, break those molecules apart and incorporate that nitrogen into amino acids and then make protein. Any protein you get from an animal is simply recycled plant protein.

& — 2,000 calories of brown rice and broccoli is gonna be about 80 grams of protein a day, including the essential amino acids that you need in order to maintain optimum health.

& — And you hear this a lot in body builders who are like, «Well, I need chicken, or, I need fish to be strong, to build muscle tissue.» That is utter nonsense. The largest, strongest terrestrial animals on the planet are all herbivores. The biggest, strongest animals are all herbivores.

& — Gorillas, rhinos and elephants, they all get their muscles and strength from eating plants. That’s what I do.
