Video Transcript: Food Ingredients You Must Avoid
Ty Bollinger: Question for you… you mentioned aspartame.
Dr. David Jockers: Yeah.
Ty Bollinger: And you mentioned it in the same sentence as you mentioned the chemicals. So is aspartame a chemical? Is that what you’re saying?
Dr. David Jockers: Oh absolutely. Aspartame is a very toxic chemical. When it’s metabolized it breaks down into things like wood alcohol, formaldehyde; aspartate itself is an excytotoxin in the brain. So it is a chemical derivative. In fact, I don’t know the whole story, but I heard it was actually developed as a military weapon. I’m not the expert on that, but that’s what I heard. However, it just really has delirious effects on the body. It’s been linked to several different forms of cancer. And it’s definitely something we want to avoid.
Ty Bollinger: Your anticancer diet you get people on… you would prefer if they want to sweeten their food or to sweeten their drink or something, just because something’s a low calorie sweetener is what you’re saying it doesn’t mean that it’s bad?
Dr. David Jockers: Yeah.
Ty Bollinger: There are good ones and there are bad ones. And so the good ones you mentioned, stevia, which is an herb which is actually a hundred times sweeter than sugar.
Dr. David Jockers: Exactly! So we want to avoid aspartame, splenda, acefultame potassium, these really chemical sounding names and we want to use pure leaf stevia. As minimally processed form of stevia as possible. And perhaps xylitol.
Now we do want to avoid highly processed forms of stevia. There’s certain brands out there that combine stevia with things like GMO erythritol which is a sugar alcohol that comes from corn. And oftentimes there’s combinations where it’s a genetically modified form of corn to produce this erythritol. That would clearly be something we’d want to avoid.
[For] an anticancer diet, we definitely have got to avoid chemicals, GMO as much as possible because those things will just cause these inflammatory reactions that lead to cancer development in our body.
Ty Bollinger: Okay. So you mentioned highly processed… Would it be safe to say that if you go into the grocery store and you open up or you pick up a box and you’re reading the ingredients and it’s got 50 ingredients and you can’t pronounce 45 of them, then you’re probably going to be wanting to avoid something like that?
Dr. David Jockers: Absolutely! If something sounds like a chemical or if it was in a lab somewhere it probably was. So absolutely. We want to avoid that. We’re looking for whole food based sources. I mean when it comes to foods and supplements we want to be extremely—we want to be keen on what we’re putting into our body.
Just like somebody who values, let’s say, their automobile. They’re going to be keen on what kind of oil gets put in there, what kind of fuel gets put in there. It’s the same thing with our body. We want to know exactly what’s going in there.
So for myself I don’t eat anything that I don’t know what the ingredients are that’s actually going into that. And if it’s not something that’s natural I’m going to avoid it.
Ty Bollinger: Good rule of thumb! If it ain’t natural, don’t eat it.
Dr. David Jockers: I can’t say that I developed that.
Ty Bollinger: I like it.
Dr. David Jockers: There’s a lot more smarter people than me that came up with that. But yeah, it’s a good slogan we should all have.

Hello My Family Myself; The phrase ” Change the Vibration and you change the Manifestation” Is what I teach in Reiki Class. When we do a Blessing on food we change it’s Vibrational energy signature. One day I was eating red licorice and my wife came into the kitchen and said “that is bad for you and she proceeded to muscle test me to prove to me that she was right. Little did she know that I brought the vibration of the licorice to that of the highest vibrational resonance of Divine Love, and she said that I was stronger than before and then she tried harder to break my grip. upset she said, ” You Blessed that didn’t you” and I said why yes I did. and she stomped off as I laughed. Our words and intentions are Powerful. Loving Blessings. Yourself called alan.
I try not to eat too many things containing sugar, because I know that sugar is bad for you. Once I am alone, I am going to try juicing, a raw vegan diet, and fruits and avoid meat, fish, poultry, dairy, eggs, and desserts to see, if it makes any difference to my body. Too much sugar can also cause diabetes, obesity, and even problems with your teeth. I can live without eating sweet stuff.
Save your money and do not buy a juicer. When fruits are juiced, their insoluble and some of their soluble fiber is extracted and thrown away. However, blended fruits keep all of their dietary fiber content. So many nutrients are lost when the apple peel is thrown away for example..
Go to carnivore camaraderie, YouTube channel. You will see lifelong vegans going back to eating meat because their health was failing. Once they started eating meat, their health returned. Short term veganism works to cure cancer. Long-term you’re not getting proper nutrition.
And there has, and is people who use the Paleo diet, which is eating meat and vegetables to cure cancer and many other diseases.
TTAC: Great article! Only one change I suggest, please change your slogan ” If it isn’t NATURAL don’t eat it” Natural doesn’t mean a thing on products, and I’m sure that’s what you meant, however substitute the word ORGANIC instead.
Or simply able it ‘Unsprayed’. Thing is, a small grower can’t always afford the label ‘organic’ because you have to apply to ‘The Soil Association’ who charge thousands for that label. At least here in the UK. Can’t speak for anywhere else though.
My daughter said once that ‘no’ food should be labeled ‘organic’ but the stuff that wasn’t, should be labelled ‘sprayed’. A much better idea and might just make people think. It will never happen of course ……
I agree with the Aspartame issue 100%. I do think people have a misconception of chemical sounding names though. I just read an article yesterday on this very issue, here is a quote: “Some people say that if you’re not familiar with an ingredient—if you can’t pronounce it—then you shouldn’t eat it. I think that reflects an ignorance of chemistry and nutrition. Take riboflavin, cobalamin, and pyridoxamine. They’re big words and sound like things you don’t want in your food, but they are actually all forms of vitamin B, and skipping them can be detrimental to your health. Instead of being scared of ingredients you don’t know, educate yourself.” Kantha Shelke, PHD
Consumer reports is trying to get the government to ban the word Natural from packaging if there is any ingredient that is not in its’ normal state. Also, sugar does not cause diabetes, fat causes your cells to be unable to absorb glucose. Sugar then raises your insulin level. Chef AJ who you can see on Youtube, teaches you cook without salt, oil, or sugar. She also wrote a book called “Unprocessed” and teaches you to cook that way.
Hello. I have had Pancreatic cancer, had surgery, they took out 80% of my pancreas, my spleen, my appendix. From this I have lost control of my sugar most of the time, How can you beat diabetes if you have only 20% of your pancreas. Then I got cancer in both lungs and they put me on chemo. Now they think I have cancer of the stomach. Is their any certain foods I can eat. Spicy, onions, garlic all upset my stomach. Chemo raises my sugar. Janet
Hi Janet,
The best advice we can give you is to consult with one of the doctors/experts that we interviewed in our Global Quest Series. Here is a link to get their information: https://thetruthaboutcancer.com/experts-info-sheet/
Hello Janet; You are going through a lot and your whole life is revolving around cancer and there is alot of advice out there which can be confusing and overwhelming at times. What to choose, what will work for you. I am a intuitive dowser and if you allow your body to tell you what is best for you it can help.Just stand quiet ( as God said,” Be Silent and Know that I Am God”) with your hands by your side and close your eyes then take a deep breath and ask your body what a yes response is. Most likely it will want to move forward, if you let it. And then ask your body what a no response it, it will likely want to move backwards. Then say the name of what you want to test, or hold it to your heart and ask the question.This technique is called body dowsing or keniciology Dowsing.( Check spelling). And since part of this progrom is about Forgiveness, maybe you may want to Forgive your parents, that is usually a good place to start as the trauma stays with us and can produce cancers. You know better than I, as to who to Forgive.There is a vidio on Greg Bradens 3 minute cancer cure, it is interesting. You may want to take your focus off of cancer and focus on health.Instead of a cancer clinic, pretend it is a spa and nurses and doctors are your attendents and bless everything as it raises it’s vibration. Jesus said to ” Exalt All things” Bring everything to it’s Highest Vibration. Thoughts and words ARE creative.Be the Light that you ARE. Loving Blessings.alan.
Oh my God. You should’ve never got on chemo. And you should’ve never allowed him to cut out your body parts. There have been many people with stage four cancer who used either veganism or the keto diet to overcome cancer. You’ve gone very deep into establishment medicine and they’re brutal answers to cancer that doesn’t solve the cancer. They only go after the symptoms. Why because it makes them a lot of money. If they told you this simple inexpensive way to overcome cancer. How could they make money? I’m sorry for you that you didn’t know this information sooner.
Joe, I have a lemon squeezer in which I squeeze my lemons to make natural lemon juice for myself. Occasionally, in the malls I ask for a freshly squeezed orange juice and it tastes much better than what I buy from a store. When I was in Spain and Portugal, I drank freshly squeezed orange juice throughout my three meals. I find that the store bought orange juice contain too much artificial sugar. Do you believe that juicing is going to cure a person’s terminal cancer?
