Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

Let's talk about the foods to counter obesity.

So what is an obesity gene?

Well, it is those things in the environment that don't have to do with calories.

They have to do with man-made chemicals that contribute to being obese.

And I'm talking about things that are food containers that you maybe will put in the

microwave, baby bottles, toys, plastics in their related chemicals, cookware as a non-stick

teflon, and even cosmetics.

Now, what do all these have in common?

Well, they give off chemicals that mimic estrogen.

And estrogen is one of those hormones that make you fat.

So let's go through some of the chemicals.

You have bysphenol A, BPA, which is one of those chemicals found in different plastics.

Then you have phallids, which are also in plastics and other containers.

And atrazine, which is the most widely used herbicide.

So it's in our food, unless you do organic.

Then you have other chemicals like PFOA, which you're normally going to see in those non-stick

pans, like teflon.

Then you have DES, diethyls, debesterol.

Now, that's a drug that has been banned, but apparently it's still in our environment

to a certain degree.
