“Let’s talk about three things that need to go,” he began. ‘The first thing that has to go is the consumption of tap water.’
The health guru spoke out against drinking tap water at the Build23 conference, saying that you should at least use an inexpensive filter to remove chlorine and fluoride from your water if you can’t afford a filtration system.
Both chlorine and fluoride have proven benefits as water additives, but there is ongoing debate about their potential to negatively impact health.
The US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows cchlorine and chloramine for use as disinfectants in public water systems murder disease-causing germs.
Chlorine can form compounds in the so-called water disinfection byproducts (DBPs), which “can cause negative health effects after regular, long-term exposure,” according to the Minnesota Department of Health.
However, the EPA requires all public water systems to test and regulate water to ensure DBPs remain within established limits.
Meanwhile, fluoride is addedo public water supplies to help prevent tooth decay.
Overexposure to fluoride can lead to skeletal fluorosis, a bone disease, and dental fluorosis, discoloration of the teeth due to overexposure to fluoride as a child.
“The first thing that needs to go is the consumption of tap water,” Brecka said
Brecka said if you can’t afford a water filtration system, you should at least use an inexpensive filter to remove chlorine and fluoride from your water.
Brecka’s second tip was to ditch seed oils, a category of vegetable oils derived from seeds, including sunflower, canola, corn, grapeseed and sesame oils.
Some research also suggests that there is a possible link between high fluoride levels and learning, memory and cognitive deficits Harvard Public Health.
Despite the controversy, most public health experts agree that the benefits of chlorine and fluoride in water outweigh the risks.
Brecka’s second tip was to steer clear of seed oils, a category of vegetable oils derived from seeds that includes sunflower, canola, corn, grapeseed and sesame oils.
He recommends using coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, grass-fed butter and ghee instead.
“I’m not saying seed oils are bad for you,” he noted. “I’m saying that industrially processed seed oils are bad for you.”
Seed oils are particularly rich in omega-6 fatty acids, which some scientists hypothesize may contribute to inflammation in the body. Healthline.
Chronic inflammation is an underlying factor in common diseases such as heart disease and cancer.
However, the evidence that omega-6 is harmful to the body is mixed Many health professionals consider seed oils to be healthy.
Brecka’s third recommendation was to stop eating non-organic fruits.
The health guru also said that you should avoid non-organic fruits and genetically modified foods
The video has been viewed a million times and received more than 300 comments, but Brecka’s advice received mixed reviews.
“Fruit absorbs pesticides, herbicides and insecticides through the skin,” he explained.
“Nearly 75 percent of non-organic fresh produce sold in the U.S. contains residues of potentially harmful pesticides,” the statement said. Environmental working group.
Brecka planned to share just three things, but he ended up adding a fourth, saying people should also abstain from genetically modified foods.
A genetically modified organism, or GMO for short, is any plant, animal or microorganism whose DNA has been changed using technology.
GMO food is controversial because some people claim it can be harmful to health they have been deemed safe by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the US Department of Agriculture (USDA).

‘So basically stop eating out. Most, if not all, restaurants use seed oil because they are so much cheaper,” one person commented.
“That’s 95% of supermarkets,” added another.
‘Nothing is safe. Live as if you are dying,” someone else advised.
Others pointed out that many people cannot afford to buy filtration systems, expensive oils and organic foods.
“Okay, so we know this, but there’s still the issue of, you know, the COST of living and being part of this society,” one user commented.
“Bro said be rich,” another agreed.
