Most people worry about red meat. But Dr. Steven Gundry says the real danger is something far sneakier — a sugar molecule called Neu5GC that shows up in beef, lamb, and pork, triggers an immune response in your blood vessels, and may actually help cancer cells hide from your immune system. And if you’ve been avoiding red meat by switching to plant-based burgers, Dr. Gundry has some even worse news for you.
In this episode, Dr. Gundry — cardiologist, longevity researcher, and bestselling author — goes ingredient by ingredient through the Impossible Burger and what he finds is alarming. GMO soy protein concentrate soaked in glyphosate, toxic seed oils, and a genetically modified ingredient called soy leghemoglobin (the compound that makes the burger "bleed") that has never been safety tested on humans. And because the USDA and FDA consider glyphosate harmless, it doesn’t even have to appear on the label.
Dr. Gundry also reveals why the protein obsession driving most modern diets is completely misguided, why eating more protein as you age may actually be a warning sign rather than a solution, and why repairing your gut wall is what actually determines how well your body absorbs the protein you already eat. He also covers which fermented meats are actually safe, the one label clue that tells you the difference, and why chicken liver is one of the most overlooked superfoods on the planet.
