FDA Ban on Tonka Beans Explained

What did big pharma tell the FDA to do with tonka beans, where they got

Coumadin from? They told the FDA to ban

all tonka beans from being added to our food supply in

America. And on the FDA's website right now

still exists this permanent ban since

1953 that American food companies and

supplement companies, you can't break down the tonka bean

into a supplement or a food item for people to consume.

No, no, no, that's illegal. Can't do it.

Only we can isolate the nutrient, synthetically make

a fake version, and then put it in a supplement form

or capsule form

and call it a drug that now will be paid by your health

insurance companies

and prescribed by your medical doctor. We're gonna ban the tonka bean.

Now, notice they didn't ban cinnamon.

Why didn't they ban cinnamon? Cinnamon has a lot less

coumarin in it than tonka bean does.

So the tonka bean was more of a therapeutic drug dose

than the cinnamon is. To sprinkle a little bit of cinnamon on

your toast is

not gonna thin your blood or reverse diabetes, but if you ate

that whole damn

tree, it would.
