Now I'm at 2:29 and he's telling us that a tomato with a five digit code beginning with a 9 is a genetically modified tomato, which he thinks we should never buy. OK, but suppose I ignore his advice and buy that tomato. I'm not even going to criticize his belief that genetically modified tomatoes are toxic. All I a going to note is that the damned tomato has to be mislabeled because two years ago, when he made this video, there WERE NO GENETICALLY MODIFIED TOMATOES! He was telling us how to a void a ghost. Wouldn't you expect someone warning us about GMO tomatoes to at least know if they exist? Now it's two years later and there is a kind of genetically modified tomato. It's not in stores yet, but it might be some time in the next few years. The variety name is Norfolk. You won't buy it by accident because it's a deep purple color, inside and out. And it's claimed to be nutritionally superior, but I won't be passing judgement on that.
Now we are at 3:22 and I am shocked. He is giving us a list of things that are SO genetically modified that he has to call them out specially, except that he's at least half wrong. The first on his list is pineapple. Yes it exists. You are very unlikely to accidentally buy one of the few GMO pineapples, because they cost something like 3 times as much as the normal kind. And their flesh is pink! He says they the pineapple is genetically modified to grow enough. Next he says bananas. No, there aren't any GMO bananas on the market. Zucchini, yes, it's modified to be immune to a plant virus. That plant virus wouldn't hurt a human, but the zucchini plant would not yield well. But sweet potato has to be the star of the list. Why? Because although no human being genetically modified a sweet potato, nature did, many thousands of years before any human beings could have. He did get papaya right, another crop modified to resist a plant virus. I'm going to skip the rest. He could have gone to even a rabidly anti-GMO source and gotten a list of GMO foods, and he didn't.
I have a question about Cucumbers and Hummus made from Chick Peas. These foods have Lectins which can cause Leaky Gut Syndrome. Why do you recommend these foods if they are not good for us?
Overall I would not be worried about eating lectin-containing foods unless you know you have sensitivities to those foods. Processed food, sugars, and bad oils are way more important to focus on. Many of the foods containing lectins have a lot of health benefits to outweigh the negatives for most people. Lectins can also easily be minimized by fermenting veggies, sprouting nuts, and cooking grains/beans. -LGD Team
Good morning, Wow didn't know about the five digit produce label. Will watch for the ones starting with a #9. I got confused when you said to eat the fruit in the morning, by themself, not mixed with any other foods. But you also said that you like to eat your granny smith apples with almond butter. Is that because you have already met your weight goal? Thank you for your help.
One thought: you can cook and eat the peel of a banana: I have seen some recipes on the internet for cooking peels (they have you shred the peel before cooking with spices and then use like a meat: tacos, etc)...waste not, want not...dts/usa
Interesting …. You could soak the banana peels in water. Mason jar n use it fir fertilizer for ultra rose bushes n plants n trees in front or bank Yards. I do this every year
Have you heard? Listen to this!!! (If you haven't heard about what's happened to this precious fruit). About 6 months ago I started noticing the bananas I purchased were infected w/this strange and very unappealing blackness. I noticed because I cut my bananas in half and will put the unpeeled half in the fridge and within just hours, this black fungus which spreads from the stem of the inside of the banana up through the centre seeds and then outward and turning the entire banana into a blotchy bruised piece of fruit. It's just bizarre. It doesn't matter which brand I purchase ("Chiquita", "Dole", "Del Monte", etc.) organic or not, they're all infected w/the same thing. So, last month I phoned the government agency who oversees our Canadian food products to ask them if they could tell me what's going on and the man I spoke to, didn't have a clue what I was talking about. I'm sure he went home and told everyone over dinner about the kooky lady who called up over her imaginary, black-fungus banana crisis! Well, I knew it wasn't my imagination but what can you do, right? AND THEN I look at the banner headlines on the news the other day and what does it say??? BANANAS (GLOBALLY) HAVE BEEN INFECTED W/PANAMA DISEASE! And it gets worse. THERE IS NO CURE for PANAMA DISEASE! Bananas are going extinct and if I'm seeing what I'm seeing, it'll probably happen a lot sooner than later. It's really quite shocking. I feel vindicated because I knew something was going on but so much for Canada's government food agency who seemingly didn't have a clue as late as last month that this was happening. What the heck? It's difficult to believe the negative impact this will have globally. It is such a staple in so many people's diets and the thought that the extinction of this precious fruit is imminent is hard to imagine. 💓🍌💓
This additive could be derived from rancid oils, so we recommend avoiding produce with this protective layer on it. Check out this video Dr. Livingood did on this topic! facebook.com/drlivingood/videos/796869701814745 -LGD Team

Hi . Hope your reading this. I'm in Canada and would love to benefit from the free book. As when I tried to order from Amazon the price went from 21$ all the way ( with shipping and everything) to 50$+ so yea... I cannot afford this. I eat healthy enough I thought. But I am plagued by a lot of dis-eases. Would love to have a conversation with you
Oh no! We cannot ship out of the country just yet, but if you're okay with a digital version, our support team would love to help you get that! Contact them at support.drlivingood.com (: We're honored to have you here! -LGD Team
Check out this video DLG made on what to look for when buying sugar substitutions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-tOnMarFBOr4.html For sugar alternatives, we recommend stevia and monk fruit because they do not spike our insulin levels!

You’ll want to keep those areas moisturized. I’d recommend using witch hazel or coconut oil with lavender oil, which can help reduce discomfort. Here is a helpful video with some more natural solutions: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-nKscefzvL5E.html -LGD Team
@@DrLivingoodThank you for your answer. Actually I saw the video ( linked) last night. I did mix organic coconut oil and shea butter together this morning after my shower and it was so discomfortable today :'( (like sunburns) I urged to take a shower tonight and moisturized my skin with my regular cream that is good but has perfume in it. I can't wait to have a real night of sleep without scratching^^ I am French and I live in France . Thank you for your work and your precious abondant advices.
@@DrLivingood I don't see brussel sprouts on either list so I guess that's why I'm asking unless I'm not understanding something. If you can help me I'd appreciate it
