Chapter 1: What are the dangers of seed oils?
I'm excited about this new year because I feel like more and more people are really becoming conscious of seed oils. I hope that there's going to be a shift or restaurants are going to stop using it.
Oh, it's already starting because I got Seed Oil Scout three years ago in Vegas. There was maybe one or two restaurants on the whole app. And now there's like at least 25.
There was a big study that just came out linking it to colon cancer. So I think people are really starting to pay attention.
All right, guys. Courtney Swan is back. It's been a while. How you been?
Good. How have you been?

Chapter 2: How can we shop smarter for healthy food?
I've been great. Maha and Maga, right?
A lot has happened since the last time I saw you. If you had told me when we talked a year and a half ago that this would be all converging together, I wouldn't have believed you.
Who would have thought you would testify at Senate?
Oh, my God. That was so incredible. I'm so grateful for that experience. It's so surreal.
Chapter 3: What health risks are associated with microwaves?
Yeah. So what was the outcome of that? Because I saw a lot of viral clips. So did anything come from that?
Chapter 4: Are kitchen sponges a health hazard?
Yeah. I mean, we got a ton of exposure for our movement, which was incredible. I think it got a lot of people on the same page with RK Jr. and this whole Maha movement. We're hoping to do a lot more of those because we're hoping that we can actually drive change.
That was kind of a beginning step to get the conversation started and make people aware of it so that hopefully we can start driving more change in Washington so we can actually change the policy.
Yeah. And a big part of what I was seeing was the ingredients in the food, right?
Yes.
That was the main issue.

Chapter 5: What ingredients should we avoid in our food?
Yeah. And actually, if anybody has seen the Kellogg's thing that's been going on, that's kind of where, that's where Vani started talking about all of that and started her like cancel Kellogg's because she wanted to create a movement behind that. And I think that's, I mean, she just testified or not testify, but she did a speech yesterday saying that they're down 54% in sales.
54%?
And she started that at the Senate and it created just like a wildfire.
And that's a huge company. So when you hear 54% for like a small business, that's still a lot. But for them, that's hundreds of millions, right?
Oh, yeah. Well, and it's also, I mean, it makes sense. You know, it's un-American. The fact that these American companies are creating these food products here in America that are made with poisons that they don't put in other countries, it's literally an act of terrorism against us. Yeah. Against our own people.

Chapter 6: What is the impact of glyphosate on health?
Yeah, because you read the same ingredients in Europe.
Exactly.
Nowhere close, right?
Yeah. Well, and a lot of, if they get the American version in Europe, it actually comes with a warning label on it, but they're forced to create better formulations in Europe where they don't use those toxic food dyes because they have found that it causes hyperactivity in children. There's also links to cancer.
Wow. That's nuts. And are the most harmful ingredients in something like that, the food coloring, the food dyes?
I mean, there's also glyphosate, which is not actually on the label. This is what I testified in the Senate about, is that Bayer bought Monsanto, an agrochemical company, back in 2018, and they control largely our entire food supply because they're in charge of the seeds.
And the genetically modified seeds are getting into our food system, and they're spraying them really heavily with a chemical called glyphosate. It's an herbicide. Very heavily linked to non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. In fact, they've been sued $2.2 billion, I think, now. They've had to pay out to farmers for getting non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
They're still using it?
And they're still spraying it all over our food. And it's all over conventional. I mean, there was a study that came out through the EWG, Environmental Working Group, last year. They found that 80% to 90% of the grain products on our store shelves had glyphosate contamination.

Chapter 7: How can we identify harmful food products?
I mean, Cheez-Its, you name it. Like all the Kellogg's cereals, Froot Loops. And we're feeding these to our children. Cheerios, actually. They did an independent study and they came across... They found that they were really high in glyphosate.
That's crazy. Yeah. And they market that as a heart-healthy meal.
Yeah, they also market it directly to children.
Right. I saw, I think it was Bonza, one of the healthier ones. They had a ton of glyphosate in it.
They actually, that was really wild. So I have a, my friend Zin Honeycutt has a company called Moms Across America and they do a lot of independent testing. Yeah. And they found that Bonza had the highest amount of glyphosate than any other food product they've ever seen.
Crazy. Chickpeas, huh?
Chickpeas are one that if you're eating them, make sure that they're organic because otherwise they're very heavily sprayed with glyphosate.
So all the nuts and seeds, those have glyphosate on them too?
Yep. Almonds. Exactly. Peanut butter. Peanut butter actually is really heavily sprayed with glyphosate as well. So you want to make sure that... I mean, unfortunately, the reality is that if you're not buying organic, it's probably doused in glyphosate.

Chapter 8: What are better alternatives to common food products?
Oh, I love peanut butter.
Peanut butter fluff, peanut butter jelly.
I know.
Oh, man.
It's such a classic. But look, you can still do that, right? But you need to get real bread. American bread, like Wonder Bread or Sara Lee or any of those breads, they don't mold. I just saw a video, actually, that was going viral of this woman that had all these different breads. It was like Sara Lee and Wonder Bread, and they had been sitting on her counter for months. They didn't mold. Wow.
Real bread is supposed to mold within three to four days. Tch. So you can have your peanut butter and jelly sandwich, but get real bread where it's just made with really simple ingredients like flour, salt, yeast.
