TRANSCRIPT OF TODAY'S EPISODE
Announcer: You're listening to The Doctor Is In Podcast, brought to you by MartinClinic.com. During the episode, the doctors share a lot of information. As awesome as the info may be, it is not intended to diagnose, cure, treat, or prevent any disease. It's strictly for informational purposes.
Dr. Martin: Well, good morning everyone, and once again, welcome to another live here this morning. Hope you're having a great start to your day. We sure appreciate you guys coming on and hope you had a great Christmas and all of that with your families and friends. We appreciated. Now, I got to tell you about a study that I saw maybe just before Christmas, okay, and I got to talk about it this morning. It was rather fascinating when they analyze the fat. Have you ever analyzed fat? Well, this study analyzed, I don't know how many people were in it, but they analyzed the amount of, okay, so what am I showing you here? Okay, for folks listening on a podcast later, I'm showing one pound of fat. Okay? There's a pound of fat. It's a lot of fat, but when they analyze fat in obese patients, so they analyze the fat, you know what they found?
It was interesting. Over 25% of the fat they found in an obese person was linoleic acid. Now, what is that? Okay, what is linoleic acid? It's a form of omega six and it comes from seed oils. Okay? Now this morning we're going to spend a little bit of time on seed oils, okay? Now, okay. If anything, when you do the reset, okay? There's a lot of reasons to do the reset, and by the way, let's get as many people as we can to join us in January and we can do it together. It's a good time to do it. A lot of people, they sort of do too much cheating At Christmas time, me included, I've really tried to stay active and get to the gym, and I do a lot of walking and moving, and I really, really have to be careful with myself, okay?
So I just got to tell you, that's my personal struggle. I know there are millions of people along with me. My name is Doni and I'm a carbo holic, and I could live on, I really could. I know it's not good for me, but I could, okay, so one of the reasons we do the reset, there's a lot of them, but one of them is to get people off these seed oils. When you eat eggs, when you eat meat, and when you eat cheese, you're not consuming omega six. Okay? You're not, and that's really important that you're getting off this linoleic acid.
Imagine when they analyze fat, 25% of that fat is linoleic acid, and they took a cross section of hundreds and hundreds of people that were considered obese and they analyzed their fat and said one of the reasons obviously, that they're getting obesity is not just a matter of sugar. You know how I feel about sugar and things that turn to sugar rapidly, okay? Carbohydrates, your crappy carbs, they turn to sugar rapidly. So we all know, we all know what Dr. Martin thinks about sugar, okay? It's worse than smoking. It's as addictive as smoking is, and it's not good. We talk about metabolic syndrome all the time, but sometimes, or maybe not enough, I just don't talk about that other bad food, and that is seed oils.
Somebody coined them, the hateful eight and what they're doing to our society today, and we'll get into that a little bit, but when they analyze fat, 25% of it ended up to be this linoleic acid. So people are poisoning themselves with these seed oils at the top. I put that wrapped seed oil, canola oil, I put it at the top that in soy oil, because most of your fast foods, most of your baked goods, most of the middle aisles of the grocery store are two main oils there in Canada and the United States, they are rap seeded oil, which is canola oil, Canada's gift to the world can oil canola, okay? And soy, soy oil, and it's cheap. They're not using olive oil, cold pressed virgin olive oil. They're not cooking in that. They're not cooking in butter. They should or lard, they should be, but they're not.
It all started in the day of Crisco. See, I remember that when I was a kid, Crisco, they found a thing and it all sounded healthy, right? They found an oil that they could harden, Proctor and Gamble. They came out with it, made a fortune with crystal and pie crust and all these stuff was made from that. And what they didn't realize back in those days, and what we know today is that these omega sixes are terrible stuff. Okay? So that, what are the hateful, let me just give you the list. Canola oil, okay? Soy, sunflower, cotton seed, corn, rice bran, grape seed, safflower, okay? Safflower. Now, when they analyze fat, it makes up 25% of the extra fat that we have in our bodies. It's incredible and what that does, okay, what that does, there's a cascade of problems that's caused by these oils, and we've talked about them for many years, and Tony liked to coin the phrase crappy carbohydrates. Tony Jr. He said, dad, those are crappy carbohydrates. Yeah, very unhealthy. And when you get on the reset, well, you're going to avoid those things and it's amazing what happens when you avoid these oils. Okay? Now what's the problem with the oil? Okay, you look at a field and they're growing rapeseed.
What's the problem with it? It's the extraction. It's how they make it. That's why I've always said it's much more suitable for your car. Your car can literally run on that oil. It's good for your car engine, but it's not meant for human consumption. Now, you're not going to drop dead the instant you take it, okay? You don't drop dead, but because it's polyunsaturated, right? That's really what got the world going on. It was that it wasn't saturated fat, it was polyunsaturated and the world went crazy on fat makes you fat and saturated fat is the worst kind of fat. I've always told you that saturated fat is satisfied fat, it doesn't break down. So if you cook butter, it doesn't become rancid. If you heat up butter, it'll melt, but it's not rancid, it doesn't oxidize, it doesn't break down the way these oils break down.
So if you heat up these oils, they become very supercharged free radicals that do a lot of damage in the body. Okay? We are consuming, by the way, I looked this up the other day when I saw this, okay? That 25% of obesity, I mean the fat in an obese person, 25% of it, okay? What makes fat? Sugar makes fat, okay? Fat don't make it fat, but this kind of fat, this linoleic acid, when you consume it, foods that are cooked in it, they really promote obesity for a couple of reasons. One of them is it's not calories. It's how this oil is broken down. Listen to how much we consume 70 pounds a year, almost 200 pounds of sugar a year. North Americans consume it's unbelievable sugar. We're gone crazy with it, and we all know how damaging it's how it elevates your insulin, it's inflammatory and yada, yada, yada, of all about sugar.
We're well aware of it, still consume it up to 200 pounds a year, and I won't spend any time. But just to mention it, the worst thing that we did was sugar. It's not only that it went up like this in terms of the amount that we consume. We changed sugar in the 1980s, the worst thing that ever could happen. Sugar was bad, but now it's bad on steroids. Why high fructose corn syrup? It's a completely different sugar that in nanoseconds heads to your liver, but linoleic acid, it creates a cascade of problems and we're consuming. Listen to this. The average person is consuming in North America, 70 pounds of this stuff a year, 70 pounds the average person, so it creates inflammation. Okay, I'm just going to go down this list. Oxidation. This is a double-edged sword. Inflammation damages, okay? We've talked about this for a long time.
Inflammation is silent. I'm not talking about if you kick me in the knee, your body responds to this oil as a foreign object, okay? I used to tell people this all the time. Margarine again, made with these oils is like plastic to your body. Your body don't even know what it is. What are you giving me? And the body don't break it down properly and it sees it coming into the body as a foreign invader. This is one of the reasons that we have so much autoimmune today. These oils are not natural to your body. You're consuming an oil that's made for your car, not for me. Go put it in your car's engine. Don't give it to me. That's what your body is saying. So it's an immune response. Inflammation. The other side of inflammation is oxidation. These oils, they're rancid. They oxidize inside your body.
They create free radicals, and these free radicals are very damaging, okay? Oxidation, mitochondrial dysfunction, they go after your battery packs within your body. That's what that inflammation and oxidation do. Can you imagine what they're doing to our brains? You see, our brains are not made up of that oil. Your brain is made up of fat, but it's DHA. It's actually an omega fat in your brain, not omega six. I brought this to you before, and I actually wrote about this maybe two or three books ago. I can't even remember what book where I put a fair amount of time on. Why are we seeing so much lung cancer today? Okay, we're not smoking. And at one time, I always tell you, when I was a kid, I mean there was smoke everywhere. Everybody in our family smoke. My dad, my mom, my older brothers, you get into a car smoke, okay?
I got into a car the other day and somebody had been smoking in that car. And you know what? You probably can identify with this unless you're a smoker, but we're so used to not having people smoke around us. It's illegal. You can't smoke anywhere. Just about have to go outside and smoke. I always laugh at the hospital, the local hospitals. I get a kick out of it. Here are these people, they're in the hospital and in Northern Ontario it can be 40 below and they're outside. They got to have a smoke. You talk about an addiction. I never got addicted to cigarettes, okay? My oldest brother cured me because he smoked and he used to call me Tex Tex. I was probably 10. What I can remember. He said, see this cigar here, because he was smoking a cigar and he's seven years older than me.
And he said, take a puff of that. I said, well, my brothers who loves me, I took a puff. And he said, okay, now take another one and this time hold it in. Like, oh my word. I was sicker than two dogs, but it cured me. I didn't ever want to smoke again. Okay? I remember playing in Timmins, playing in the old McIntyre arena there when I played hockey juvenile, you couldn't even see there was so much smoke. But that's the way we used to live. And today we have smoke-free environments. Hallelujah, right? But why is it today? Okay?
Long story short to come back to tell you why do we have so much lung cancer today? Do you know what the number one killer of all cancer, number one, cancer in terms of deaths, what still kills people today more than any other cancer is lung cancer still, it was number one during the smoking revolution of, I don't know how long did that last? 80 years, sir. Everybody smoked and then people stopped smoking, but cancer went down for a bit. But you know what? I'll tell you one of the biggest contributing factors, and I know there's environmental and we got a hundred thousand new chemicals, and I get that, and I understand that and I've talked to you about that many a time. But one of the biggest factors is this seed oils.
Because the same byproduct that is the biggest factor in lung cancer from smoking, is the same byproduct that is found when people consume omega six seed oils, whether it be wrapped seed like canola or soy oil, all the things, and they're in everything go in the middle aisles of the grocery store, in the packaged goods and in most pastries in the big goods, and it's the oil they use. And when you get those chicken nuggets and you get french fries and they cook 'em in the wrong oil, McDonald's used to cook their french fries in lard and then the oil police came around. Seriously, the oil police came around said, that's going to make people fat. It's going to get people cholesterol. Listen here, McDonald's, we want you to change your oil and you're going to go to the oil of our choice, which is seed oils.
That's what happened. I saw the other day there, I think it was Chick-fil-A, highly successful franchise, but they cook their french fries and their chicken or whatever in peanut oil, probably a little bit better, but it's still going to give you omega six. And when you heat up that oil, it oxidizes, especially when you reheat it. So it's like smoking. You might as well be smoking. Why do we see so much cancer today? Sugar for sure. It feeds tumors, but one of the underlying factors is the bad fat. It's creating a cascade of problems. You look at our obesity levels today, okay? Heart disease. Listen to this. This is a study that I looked at the other day from this linoleic acid, 700% risk of stroke and heart attacks compared to Omega-3 fish oil. My friend. Think of that. One of the reasons that we do the reset, okay?
The metabolic reset is the best, the healthiest diet. I call it a diet because people call these things a diet. It's a 30 day program originally intended to reduce insulin resistance, which it will. It takes 30 days though. You got to change the lining of the cell because what happens in insulin resistance is the cellular structure. Every cell in your body wants to resist insulin when you're eating too many sugars and crappy carbohydrates. So when you get off of those, your body, you change fuels and your body responds to that you would not believe. You would not believe. Folks, read the testimonies. Read the testimonies. Incredible. Tens of thousands of people respond. I know people take it as a diet and a lot of people, it's the scale and that's their big thing. And I understand that. I had a weight loss clinic for many, many, many years.
People wanted to lose weight, and I get it. I understand that especially this time of the year, the gyms will be full. The memberships into gyms go right up. I have a good friend that owns a gym, and this is the time of the year, but you know what? They don't stick to it. But the reset is an eating program where you're not hungry. You are consuming the right nutrients. Eggs, man, I just read a study this morning on choline and I'm going to bring it to you. You know where you find choline, okay? In eggs, meat and cheese. It's just not found in the plant kingdom. And they talked about this and the importance of choline with B12. Anyway, I'll bring you the study I promise this week. But guys, you know how many donuts are consumed in the USA alone? It's not just policemen that eat donuts. Obviously not. You know how many donuts are consumed? Donuts is probably the worst food you could ever eat because it's a combination of that linoleic acid. They cook the donut in the wrong oil and full of sugar, so it's bad fat with bad sugar.
You ever hear of rat chow when they want to fatten up a rat for laboratory studies? They give 'em a donut here, eat a donut. They get fat, but it's the wrong fat and the wrong sugar. Okay? And what happens? They fatten up big time. You know how many donuts a year are consumed in the United States? 10 billion donuts a year. Oh, Dr. Martin is just a plain donut, but it won't be plain when it gets into you. So guys, incredible, isn't it? 25% of people that are obese, they're walking seed oils, walking seed oils. 25% of that fat is the bad fat. When you got fat inside your body, especially visceral fat, it's inflammatory no matter what. It's crazy.
Okay, we got a good week coming the rest of the week, okay? And we appreciate you guys coming on. Okay? We're back up and running, getting ready to run into 2024. We just got so much good stuff to share with you. We appreciate everyone that picked up our book. Sun Steak and Steel, okay, still number one in Canada. Okay, let's make it number one in the USA too Health books. Really good. Okay, well, I think it's good. Okay guys. Thanks for all the feedback. Don't be shy. Send in your questions for Friday, okay? Question and answer Friday. We love you guys and we'll talk to you soon.
