Removing toxic ingredients from your food, 10 beginner steps to take
The regulatory framework protecting your food is captured by the very industries it supposedly polices. Casey and Calley Means, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and Weston A. Price researchers all converge on the same finding: ultra-processed ingredients, agrochemical residues, and industrial seed oils are primary drivers of the chronic disease epidemic that conventional medicine then profits from treating.
Evidence
- According to Casey and Calley Means in 'Good Energy' (2024), mitochondrial dysfunction triggered by processed food ingredients — seed oils, refined fructose, synthetic additives — is the root mechanism behind metabolic disease.
- Their protocol begins with elimination, not supplementation.
- Step 1: Eliminate industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, sunflower) — labelled by Dr. Paul Saladino and Dr. Jack Kruse as 'linoleic acid toxicity' that embeds in cell membranes for years.
- Step 2: Remove high-fructose corn syrup and all its alias names (glucose-fructose, fruit juice concentrate) — documented by Dr. Robert Lustig in 'Fat Chance' as uniquely hepatotoxic.
- Step 3: Filter your tap water — Environmental Working Group's database maps over 300 detected contaminants including atrazine, chloramines, and PFAS.
