This reminds me of my video Is Fish Oil Just Snake Oil? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-fish-oil-just-snake-oil/) Just like we thought omega 3 supplementation could help with mood, we also thought it could help with heart health, but the balance of evidence has decidedly shifted. I still recommend (file://localhost/My%20current%20recommendations%20are%20here/%20http/::nutritionfacts.org:2011:09:12:dr-gregers-2011-optimum-nutrition-recommendations:) the consumption of pollutant-free sources of preformed long-chain omega 3’s for cognitive health—I have a bunch of videos on their way explaining my rationale.

DESCRIPTION: The short-term effect of replacing refined olive oil with extra virgin olive oil, walnuts, or almonds on cardiovascular risk factors. Adding nuts and seeds to one's salad boosts the bioavailability of the fat-soluble carotenoid phytonutrients in the greens. See my video Forego Fat-Free Dressings (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/forego-fat-free-dressings/). Oil would work, but whole food sources of fat (and other nutrients!) are superior. For more on nuts and cholesterol see Nuts and Bolts of Cholesterol Lowering (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-bolts-of-cholesterol-lowering/) and for more on the adverse effects of too much sodium, see Dietary Guidelines with a Grain of Big Salt (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-guidelines-with-a-grain-of-big-salt/) and Salt OK if Blood Pressure is OK?

DESCRIPTION: Phytonutrients in certain plant foods may block the toxic effects of industrial pollutants like dioxins through the Ah receptor system.
What is this Ah Receptor thing? Please check out the "prequel," The Broccoli Receptor: Our First Line of Defense (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-broccoli-receptor-our-first-line-of-defense-2).
I report different mechanisms but similar outcomes in Plants vs. Pesticides (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/plants-vs-pesticides/) and Eating Green to Prevent Cancer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/eating-green-to-prevent-cancer/). So this all suggests a double benefit of eating lower on the food chain, since it would also entail lower exposure to toxic contaminants in the first place (Industrial Pollutants in Vegans, http://nutritionfacts.org/video/industrial-pollutants-in-vegans/).
How Chemically Contaminated Are We? (http://nutritionfacts.org/2013/03/14/how-chemically-contaminated-are-we/) Check out the CDC Report on Environmental Chemical Exposure (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/%ef%bb%bfcdc-report-on-environmental-chemical-exposure/). Where are dioxins found so we can avoid them in the first place? See Dioxins in the Food Supply (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dioxins-in-the-food-supply/).

After this hearing, the USDA and Department of Health and Human Services announced they are limiting the scope of information that can be used to determine the new guidelines. This decision leaves out the health impacts of ultraprocessed foods, sodium, and meat. To learn more about this, our friends at Balanced.org have put together information and petition. Check it out here: https://www.betterguidelines.com.

DESCRIPTION: Atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries may be more aptly described as pimples, initiated by the infiltration of cholesterol into the lining of our arteries. The ending, should blood flow to our heart muscle be cut off by a clot formed by the rupture of one of these inflamed pockets of pus in our arterial lining, is a heart attack. Cholesterol-induced zits in the lining of our coronary arteries can also occur in other blood vessels. In our head they can cause a stroke, in our back they can cause degenerative disk disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-and-lower-back-pain/), in our abdomen they can cause an aneurysm (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/abdominal-aortic-aneurysms-ticking-time-balloons/), and in our pelvis they can cause sexual dysfunction in both men (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/atkins-diet-trouble-keeping-it-up/) and women (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cholesterol-and-female-sexual-dysfunction/). Thankfully, Avoiding Cholesterol Is A No Brainer (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/avoiding-cholesterol-is-a-no-brainer/). It's Purely a Question Of Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heart-attacks-and-cholesterol-purely-a-question-of-diet/). Trans fat, saturated fat, and cholesterol should be kept to a minimum. There are more than 80 videos on heart disease (http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/heart-disease/) and also hundreds of other videos on more than a thousand subjects at http://nutritionfacts.org/topics/.

Isn’t that amazing about the DES story? I had no idea it was used in meat production. Check out some of the other Big Pharma on Big Farms: Illegal Drugs in Chicken Feathers (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/illegal-drugs-in-chicken-feathers/).
The most dangerous additive used in the meat industry is antibiotics, though. See, for example:
