Understanding High Fructose Corn Syrup

And so we are

this magnificent creature But if you break our relationship for a moment

to our natural system Then the immediate thing that shows

up before money shows up poverty shows up and my book goes into

some detail It's like what are the different geometries of of wealth and poverty.

They actually hold their own

Security as their own kind of sovereign geometries

within human behavior in human minds And what you see with poverty is

is it is this instant reinforcement of a deep deep human wound

that must be our one shared original wound which is we were abandoned by nature and

The moment you believe any aspect of that or have

anything suggest that nature It was holding back from us nature wasn't giving us

I mean you taste that that boxed apple juice that high fructose corn syrup and the

brain is me like ah I knew there was something better than nature.

I Knew there was something better because the neurochemistry lights up

that boxed apple juice is just like

cocaine on the frontal lobe And it's a bizarre thing that high fructose corn syrup.

It's a bizarre thing

and it's just so Perfectly exemplary of everything else.

We're doing as humans because high fructose corn syrup is the exact same molecule

as fructose Which is the main sugar and not just apples most the fruit that

the arch were have been eating for all these tens of thousands But it's flipped it

is the mirror image

of the actual molecule of fructose and that does not occur in nature And so they

chemically flipped the molecule with chemical processing and the moment

you flip that molecule over the liver cannot Understand it as a carbohydrate it now

has to process it as an inflammatory

Triglyceride and so instead of turning it into a sugar it turns it into this

Aberration of a fat and in the in the bloodstream that now causes cardiovascular

disease downstream inflammation of the brain major depression anxiety Disorders all

kinds of things and start emerging because you just flipped reality in a mirror.

How did they flip it? What did they do? It's chemical treatment.

And so yeah the chemical process is called a

racemic and so you're Racemic is the chemical name for the mirror image of

a molecule and so you can basically create

chemical reactions that will create the mirror image of the molecule and see the

high fructose corn syrup is a Processed food where you're taking

normal fructose and flipping the molecule through a racemic chemical

process And why did they first start doing that because you can patent a molecule?

It doesn't exist in nature.

And so they created a quote unquote artificial sweetener, which is actually

You know a profound way in which you can start to understand

how we did everything in the pharmaceutical industry We find plant compounds and we

flip them around so that they're known non natural Not native to

the body and now we can patent them and we can commercialize them
