TLDRDr. Seil D, an Internal Medicine physician, analyzes an example of misinformation in media involving a Time Magazine article that suggested ultra-processed foods might not be as harmful as perceived. The article, later revised, initially stirred controversy on social media, especially within the health and wellness community. Dr. Seil D spotlights dietitian Jessica Wilson, who defended ultra-processed foods, sparking further investigation about potential conflicts of interest. Historical parallels are drawn to past misinformation campaigns by the sugar industry. He criticizes current food policies, particularly their impact on minority communities, and argues for truthful leadership to address the health crisis. The video calls for public figures like President Obama to use their platforms to advocate for healthier food environments.

    Dr. Seil D emphasizes that the proliferation of misinformation by mainstream media and the establishment can be rapidly challenged in the digital age. He highlights a recent Time Magazine article questioning the dangers of ultra-processed foods, which he views as absurd and comparable to suggesting lying in front of a crocodile is safe. The article, initially titled "What if Ultra-Processed Foods Aren't as Bad as You Think", faced significant backlash, leading Time to alter it to "Why One Dietician is Speaking Up for Ultra Processed Food". Dr. Seil investigates the dietician, Jessica Wilson, who advocates for such foods, and questions her motives, including potential financial ties to food companies. He draws parallels to historical instances of scientific manipulation funded by industry, like the sugar industry's influence in the 1960s, to critique the current situation.

    hello everyone Dr seil D Internal
  • 00:00:02
    Medicine physician welcome to another
  • 00:00:04
    video how corruption and ideological
  • 00:00:08
    capture makes you and your family very
  • 00:00:10
    sick indeed when we're talking about
  • 00:00:13
    things like this topics of this
  • 00:00:15
    magnitude it's often good to draw upon
  • 00:00:17
    real world examples as they happen and
  • 00:00:20
    we had an interesting and somewhat
  • 00:00:22
    amusing it shouldn't be funny but it was
  • 00:00:24
    a bit funny example within the last few
  • 00:00:26
    days that I would like to share with you
  • 00:00:28
    and one of the good things about living
  • 00:00:30
    in 2024 is that in the era of social
  • 00:00:33
    media the complete nonsense which is
  • 00:00:35
    proliferated by The Establishment and
  • 00:00:37
    the mainstream media can often be called
  • 00:00:39
    out very quickly and this is a classic
  • 00:00:42
    example let me share what happened with
  • 00:00:44
    you well within the last couple of days
  • 00:00:46
    we had an article published in time
  • 00:00:48
    which used to be a very well-respected
  • 00:00:51
    publication and it was titled what if
  • 00:00:53
    ultra-processed Foods aren't as bad as
  • 00:00:56
    you think did you all hear that one of
  • 00:00:58
    the most toxic things about modern-day
  • 00:01:00
    living which is causing a health
  • 00:01:03
    catastrophe I've talked about this at
  • 00:01:05
    length Before Time Magazine is asking if
  • 00:01:08
    it's really as bad as we think seriously
  • 00:01:11
    did they really just say that let's have
  • 00:01:13
    another look and make sure we actually
  • 00:01:15
    saw that what if ultra-processed Foods
  • 00:01:17
    aren't as bad as you think well what if
  • 00:01:19
    laying down in front of a crocodile
  • 00:01:22
    isn't as bad as you think it could be
  • 00:01:24
    where on Earth would a headline like
  • 00:01:26
    this come from when you delve into the
  • 00:01:28
    article it's all about how one dietician
  • 00:01:31
    who I will come to in a bit is insisting
  • 00:01:33
    that everybody might be wrong maybe ultr
  • 00:01:36
    processed foods which she seems to be a
  • 00:01:38
    fan of aren't that bad at all well
  • 00:01:40
    anyway this headline caused an online
  • 00:01:42
    sensation in the social media Community
  • 00:01:45
    especially the Health and Wellness
  • 00:01:46
    Community quite right too and there was
  • 00:01:49
    a lot of push back and later the same
  • 00:01:54
    day time quietly changed the title of
  • 00:01:58
    this article so that original headline
  • 00:02:00
    then became why one dietician is
  • 00:02:02
    speaking up for ultr processed food so
  • 00:02:05
    so even Time Magazine realized that that
  • 00:02:07
    original headline was absolutely not
  • 00:02:10
    acceptable the dietician in question is
  • 00:02:12
    a certain dietitian called Jessica
  • 00:02:14
    Wilson so I did do my own research into
  • 00:02:18
    this one dietician who is she what
  • 00:02:20
    dietitian in the world would be
  • 00:02:23
    advocating for ultr processed foods it's
  • 00:02:25
    a bit like a lung specialist advocating
  • 00:02:27
    for people to smoke what's going on what
  • 00:02:30
    other agendas are involved has she been
  • 00:02:32
    paid by a company to say this to vouch
  • 00:02:35
    for ultra-processed Foods that's often
  • 00:02:38
    the way things work and going back in
  • 00:02:40
    history particularly in the United
  • 00:02:42
    States you can often find a money Trail
  • 00:02:44
    the same thing happened back in the
  • 00:02:45
    1960s with Harvard scientists and the
  • 00:02:48
    New England Journal of Medicine which
  • 00:02:50
    was then and still is today a terribly
  • 00:02:53
    compromised publication they were paid
  • 00:02:55
    by the sugar Research Foundation to
  • 00:02:57
    blame heart disease on saturated fats
  • 00:03:00
    instead of sugars but anyway I digress
  • 00:03:03
    let's look into Jessica Wilson well here
  • 00:03:05
    is her website Jessica Wilson dietitian
  • 00:03:08
    author and speaker and she's all about
  • 00:03:10
    viewing things through the lens of her
  • 00:03:12
    race as an africanamerican woman she
  • 00:03:14
    talks about how food and nutrition are
  • 00:03:16
    complex critical thinking is necessary
  • 00:03:19
    well this is always something that the
  • 00:03:20
    establishment itself tries to do take
  • 00:03:22
    something that is actually very simple
  • 00:03:24
    and say it's very complex and to talk
  • 00:03:27
    about critical thinking there is really
  • 00:03:30
    quite something so her site does talk
  • 00:03:32
    about the fact that she is a consultant
  • 00:03:35
    so the question is what exactly has she
  • 00:03:37
    been paid to consult on have any
  • 00:03:39
    ultra-processed food companies paid her
  • 00:03:41
    so I did do a bit more research and
  • 00:03:43
    initially it wasn't easy to find whether
  • 00:03:46
    Jessica Wilson had been paid as a
  • 00:03:48
    consultant by any processed food company
  • 00:03:51
    so if anyone else out there wants to do
  • 00:03:53
    some research please feel free to do so
  • 00:03:55
    but I would ask Jessica Wilson herself
  • 00:03:58
    seeing an article like this in a major
  • 00:04:01
    publication to totally come clean have
  • 00:04:03
    you received any funding from the food
  • 00:04:06
    industry and if you have then this is a
  • 00:04:08
    terrible indictment of Publications like
  • 00:04:10
    Time Magazine but whether or not she has
  • 00:04:13
    received any money from big food the
  • 00:04:15
    question Still Remains why would time
  • 00:04:17
    want to produce an article like this
  • 00:04:19
    seeing as they have previously published
  • 00:04:21
    articles on the dangers of alter
  • 00:04:24
    processed foods and I would has to Guess
  • 00:04:25
    that they're also trying to look at this
  • 00:04:27
    through the lens of race and that that
  • 00:04:29
    is why Time Magazine wanted to publish
  • 00:04:32
    an article like this let me tell you
  • 00:04:35
    this for anyone who is watching overseas
  • 00:04:38
    in the United States fewer communities
  • 00:04:40
    are more devastated by Cheap
  • 00:04:43
    ultra-processed addictive Foods than
  • 00:04:45
    minority communities what is happening
  • 00:04:47
    is absolutely awful with soaring rates
  • 00:04:50
    of obesity type 2 diabetes other
  • 00:04:53
    inflammatory diseases these people get
  • 00:04:55
    hooked on pharmaceutical products very
  • 00:04:58
    early which often they end up taking for
  • 00:05:00
    life so what could be a bigger issue for
  • 00:05:04
    these communities than the push to try
  • 00:05:06
    to get Ultra processed foods away from
  • 00:05:09
    them to try to Lobby the US government
  • 00:05:10
    to have the right policies at the top
  • 00:05:13
    which reduce the ridiculous subsidies
  • 00:05:16
    that are in place to get things like
  • 00:05:18
    corn syrup to people food stamps and the
  • 00:05:21
    types of foods that are approved under
  • 00:05:23
    those types of schemes inevitably really
  • 00:05:26
    bad highly processed foods why not
  • 00:05:28
    address those issues instead of trying
  • 00:05:30
    to pretend in some weird parallel
  • 00:05:33
    universe that ultra-processed foods are
  • 00:05:35
    not that bad ultr processed foods are
  • 00:05:38
    probably the worst thing to happen to
  • 00:05:41
    humanity in terms of sheer numbers of
  • 00:05:43
    people getting sick lives lost probably
  • 00:05:46
    worse than either World War I or World
  • 00:05:48
    War II in terms of casualty numbers and
  • 00:05:51
    I want you all to think about that so
  • 00:05:53
    for any mainstream publication let alone
  • 00:05:56
    a dietitian to pretend that ultr
  • 00:05:59
    processed food foods are anything other
  • 00:06:00
    than absolutely terrible and our country
  • 00:06:03
    and our world would be better off
  • 00:06:05
    drastically reducing consumption of ultr
  • 00:06:08
    processed foods to pretend anything
  • 00:06:10
    otherwise is highly dangerous and I
  • 00:06:12
    would suggest that anyone who does so
  • 00:06:14
    will have blood on their hands because
  • 00:06:17
    this is not a topic to be taken lightly
  • 00:06:20
    and what I really don't get is with all
  • 00:06:22
    of these star power out there let's
  • 00:06:24
    think about someone like President Obama
  • 00:06:26
    all it would take would be one speech or
  • 00:06:29
    one article about this subject to
  • 00:06:32
    initiate the Wheels of Change to start
  • 00:06:35
    moving I mean President Obama can see
  • 00:06:38
    what's happening in communities up and
  • 00:06:40
    down the country the devastation
  • 00:06:42
    metabolic health effects what's
  • 00:06:44
    happening with millions of kids why not
  • 00:06:47
    speak up about it why not tell the truth
  • 00:06:49
    about what ultr processed food addiction
  • 00:06:52
    is doing and getting back to a more sane
  • 00:06:55
    food environment these changes can
  • 00:06:57
    totally happen but it needs people at
  • 00:07:00
    the top to tell the truth and it needs a
  • 00:07:03
    mainstream media and a medical
  • 00:07:05
    establishment that is not going to push
  • 00:07:07
    articles because of either corruption or
  • 00:07:10
    ideological capture and the
  • 00:07:12
    African-American Community who are most
  • 00:07:14
    affected by this issue deserve far
  • 00:07:17
    better from the leadership at the top
  • 00:07:19
    and the Assumption from many of their
  • 00:07:21
    supposed Advocates and also leadership
  • 00:07:24
    at the top that we can't do any better
  • 00:07:26
    and we can't have policies in place at
  • 00:07:28
    the top that result in a better food
  • 00:07:31
    supply reaching many of these
