Tucker Carlson | The food industry has designed foods to hijack our biology.

Tucker Carlson | Big companies are poisoning Americans. Dr. Mark Hyman has been saying that for thirty years. He’s finally been vindicated.
Dr. Mark Hyman: "If you look, there's a real clear data on two drivers of cancer. One is food, and particularly sugar and starch. And two is environmental toxins, carcinogens, which are ubiquitous. We're exposed to toxins everywhere, and we can reduce those. But the food part is really interesting because when you look at the growth of cancer cells, they feed on sugar."

"There's a whole metabolic theory of cancer where... If you use a ketogenic diet, and this is work being done in Columbia by Sid Mukherjee and others, ketogenic diets as a treatment for cancer to actually shut down the cancer cells because they can only feed on sugar."

"We are like a hybrid engine. We can go electric or we can go gas. We can go carbs. We can go fat. Cancer only goes sugar. So you start the sugar and you kill the cancer. So the amount of sugar in flour eating is about 152 pounds of sugar. per person per year and 133 pounds of flour. That's a lot. That's almost three quarters of a pound a day of sugar and flour for every American. And what that does is it fuels the cancer cells."

"And so pancreatic cancer, colon cancer, breast cancer, uterine cancer, prostate cancer, even some lung cancers, and the data is documented go up with insulin resistance, go up with obesity, and go up with diabetes and metabolic dysfunction. 93% of Americans, Tucker, are metabolically broken. This is extraordinary from the American Journal of Cardiology."

"And what this means is that we're somewhere on the degree of what I call diabecity. Diabecity is pre-diabetes to type 2 diabetes. And we cut off at pre-diabetes, but that's one in two Americans has pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes. That's bad enough. 38% of teenage boys. I mean, when I graduated medical school, there was no type 2 diabetes. There was no type 1 diabetes. It was juvenile diabetes, which is an autoimmune disease, or adult diabetes, which is a foodborne disease."

"And so now we've changed the names to protect the guilty. And so now we see kids. Really? Yeah, three. The names were changed to mask the cause of type two. I mean, yeah, I mean, because kids are getting it. So how do we call a juvenile diabetes if kids are getting type two diabetes as young as two or three years old? It's not their fault. They're being fed soda."

"And I once was working in an urgent care in California in an underserved community. And this woman comes in with back pain. She's got a baby in her baby carriage. and he's drinking this brown liquid. And I'm like, what is this? Seven months old. I'm like, what is that? It says Coca-Cola. I'm like, why are you giving baby Coca-Cola? He likes it."

"I mean, this is what's happening. And so we're turning our whole society into this metabolically broken society. And this is the driver of all the disease we're seeing. Cancer, heart disease, diabetes, dementia. They're calling Alzheimer's type three diabetes because of how it's connected to sugar and insulin resistance."
