0:00.0	But as you'll see in this podcast, there's a large amount of research to suggest that fruit
0:03.8	juice is healthy for humans.
0:05.3	On this week's podcast, I talk about a very controversial topic.
0:11.0	It might get me banned from YouTube.
0:12.6	No, it's not actually that controversial, but it is fruit juice, which sends people in
0:18.0	all sorts of different camps into a tizzy.
0:21.2	And I make an argument for why you should include fruit juice in your diet.
0:26.1	I will provide many studies in this podcast that show benefits of fruit juice.
0:30.6	I will talk about whether you should worry about glucose spikes, whether you should

0:56.8	I would love to have people on the show who have differing ideas than mine.
1:00.0	It's just been difficult to get them to engage with many of these conversations.
1:03.2	So my belief is that fruit, fruit juice, and honey are beneficial for humans in the setting
1:09.5	of an animal-based diet, a diet that is composed and centered around animal foods like well-raised
1:14.2	meat, grass-fed, grass-finished meat, organs, especially fresh or organs from heart and
1:20.0	soil supplements, desecrated organs.
