Good morning!

Here's your Saturday 7 roundup — Scam Edition!

🔼 The food scam:

The base of the food pyramid is based on profit margins, not health.

"Multigrain" is a marketing scam that just means they added 2+ problematic ingredients (grains) into one product.

In one of the most in-depth interviews I've done, I discuss more scams with Jesse Chappus of The Ultimate Health Podcast. 

🚰 The water scam:

Water fluoridation is a dangerous scam.

A scam that is finally getting exposed.

A federal court ruled that water fluoridation poses an unreasonable risk to health, and now requires the EPA to take action to eliminate the risk.

“The Court finds that fluoridation of water at 0.7 milligrams per liter (“mg/L”) – the level presently considered “optimal” in the United States – poses an unreasonable risk of reduced IQ in children…in all, there is substantial and scientifically credible evidence establishing that fluoride poses a risk to human health; it is associated with a reduction in the IQ of children and is hazardous at dosages that are far too close to fluoride levels in the drinking water of the United States. (r)

Meanwhile, the American Dental Association (ADA) is sticking to their guns saying water fluoridation is safe and beneficial.  (r)
 

I don't understand how the ADA can continue to turn a blind eye to the harm of children's brains because water fluoridation MIGHT prevent a cavity. It's either ignorance or evil.

😴 The people scamming:

This surprises no one.

Well the UK is in good company: 95% of the USDA committee members have financial ties with food / pharmaceutical companies. (r)

Every day that passes it becomes more clear that if healthcare were Nascar, it would look like this:

🛒 The plastic scam:

There was a moment in time when we had a choice between glass and plastics. 

As seen here, in 1980, every bottle on the shelf was still glass.

During the battle with Big Plastic, the glass industry argued for the benefits of glass, like its eco-friendliness, and the ability to clean or melt down for reuse (Coca Cola had a 97% return rate of their bottles), which fueled a local recycling loop.

But Big Plastic prevailed.

Plastic was (seemingly) cheaper and they scammed everyone with its "recyclability."

While cheaper, the price we've paid is steep.

Marine plastic pollution costs 10s-of-billions per year. (r)

The price we're paying for microplastics invading all of our bodies and brains is incalculable. (r)

🧠 The censorship scam:

"Censorship is the child of fear, the father of ignorance and the weapon of tyrants."

– Laurie Halse Anderson, on the censorship scam

📊 The crypto scam:

There's bitcoin. Then there's everything else.

🎨 The color scam:

Purple is a scam.

As always, it's an absolute pleasure and honor getting to spend some time with you, hope you have a great weekend!

P.S.

Hotel soaps are a scam, they are not what they appear to be.
