The One Ingredient That Has Spiked by 8000 Percent over the Last 50 Years

Find out about the dangerous ingredient that’s 8,000% more prevalent in our diets than it was 50 years ago.

In this video, we’re going to talk about the one food that has increased in our diets by over 8,000%. From 1970 to 2014, this food has increased significantly more than any other food.

Consuming this ingredient depletes vitamins and minerals. It’s one of the most potent triggers of metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, and inflammation.

We're talking about high-fructose corn syrup.

Corn products, skim milk, chicken, turkey, added fats, and oils have also increased, but nowhere near as much as high-fructose corn syrup. Consumption of vegetables, butter, eggs, beef, and refined white sugar has decreased.

High-fructose corn syrup is hidden in many foods and drinks. Most high-fructose corn syrup is made from inedible dent corn, which is typically GMO, so it’s herbicide-tolerant.

The U.S. is the top producer and consumer of corn.

In 1932, farmers extracted 20 ½ bushels of corn per acre, and in 2022, they extracted 173 bushels per acre. The arrival of GMO foods, herbicides, and pesticides allows farmers to grow significantly more corn in a small area, which isn’t good for the environment, soil, or our health.

Always check your food labels to avoid high-fructose corn syrup, modified food starch, modified corn starch, maltodextrin, glucose syrup, and seed oils.

    It amazing just seeing how many ingredients are in processed food. The chemicals are insane. Its almost as if its being done on purpose ? And not only for ” profits “. 🤔

  • @Joe_C. says:

    Sssoooo… Beef consumption is DOWN 30%, but cardiovascular disease and cancers are way up in the same period 🧐

  • @brianw572 says:

    This does not surprise me. Why do you think there is such a problem with obesity. Look what happens when you give cattle mostly corn to eat. They have a lot of fat. Thank you Dr Berg. They need to get this crap out of our foods.

    I need to be more careful of high fructose corn syrup! This is probably why we’re all losing our minds too! Everyone is anxious and/or depressed it seems. I’ll never give up my beef either.
    But I only buy organic grass fed ground beef. Walmart sells it for not much more $ than regular ground beef. I’ve seen it as high as $10/lb at other stores! Its only $7.36/lb at Walmart for the organic and $1 less for non organic (but still grass fed). I just wish all their beef was grass fed. 🥩 I don’t even think theres a store anywhere near me that sells it.

      It doesn’t help we’re being poisoned by and under the control of psychopaths. Surely, that doesn’t help our mental health.

    • @curiouscat3384 says:

      I’ve tried every brand I could find but always come back to beef from local/regional farmers in central NC. If you have a farmer’s market try there first. Also anyone can google “grass fed beef near me” and check out website called “eatwild” and directories and maps will show up. I have a downtown small organic grocery that buys meat from a co-op called “First Hand Foods” which vets regional farmers for integrity of pastures and processing. Maybe there’s something like that in your town 🙂

    • @curiouscat3384 says:

      ps. I pay $10/lb for local beef sold in store. About $9 direct from the farmer

    • @carmenm4479 says:

      Do you have Aldi near you? $5.49/lb for grass fed ground beef. $11.50 for grass fed ribeye and New York steak

  • @curiouscat3384 says:

    50 yrs ago was 1974. I was born in ’54 and came of age in 1972. We grew up on fresh meat and vegetables for main meal but also dry cereal, white bread sandwhiches and cooked with crisco etc. I think I am the last generation to have grown up healthy because the ultra-refined mass food supply was in it’s infancy while our bodies were building. But we’ve been in a steady decline as we age with diabetes, arthritis, dementia. The younger generations don’t stand a chance and are already dying young with heart disease and diabetes complications. This madness has to stop. Glad Dr. Berg is joining the movement to improve the food supply

      also, very rare types of cancers that were extremely uncommon in the past are much more common nowadays. We see people in their 20s, 30s dying from rare cancers….this is crazy!

    • @living2day617 says:

      Didn’t they start giving cattle hormones to speed their growth back then? I remember they felt there was a correlation as to why girls as young as 8 or 9 were starting menstruation and developing breasts. Produce was sprayed with DDT and a bunch of other carcinogens in our food supply until it was deemed unsafe.

    • @ChessIsJustAGame says:

      Amen! I was born in 1960, I have noticed the same things. Cane sugar replaced with HFCS. Why? Greed! Profits that ignore the health of all those that grow it, refine it and consume it. Farmers used to be “poor”, now many are millionaires. From corn and soybeans. I grew up in Indiana, and have watched our food change greatly.

    Hello, Dr. Berg, I’m watching your videos from the country of Uzbekistan. I lived for 8 years on hormone therapy with testosterone. The doctors diagnosed me and told me to take testosterone for life. Then I started having side effects from testosterone: insomnia and thick blood. I found your videos, which they talked about. Homemade eggs raise good cholesterol, namely recursor. testosterone is cholesterol ate organic egg for 6 months, I have been living without testosterone injections for 3 months, my hormone levels have been restored, our doctors are delighted Dear Doctor Berg, thank you for the second chance that you gave me, you are a doctor who is from God

    I’ve pretty much always eaten “healthy”, healthier than what our government considers healthy but, lately I am just ANGRY at our government (for more reasons than just this) for promoting CHEMICALS, calling it food, and “safe for consumption”. If you can’t discern for yourself when it comes to your own health and nutrition, you are destined for a miserable existence. You’re a product of your governments “food” system which makes you a dependent/customer of its medical system. It’s disgusting.

Changed some of my other eating habits and almost immediately my liver numbers dropped back down to normal/healthy limits, and I feel so much better! What the food industry is doing to our foods that we eat should be criminal! People have to stay educated! Thank you good sir for the info!
