Food or Poison? The shocking truth about modern food and how it’s slowly killing us

In this podcast episode, Dr. Leona delves into the topic of food and what it truly means. She discusses how the Standard American Diet is poisoning our bodies with denatured, processed, and highly refined artificial foods. While these foods may look and taste like food, they lack the necessary nutrients to nourish our bodies and are making us sick. 

Dr. Leona provides some helpful tips for determining whether a food is truly a food or if it's poison. She will also discuss some of the synthetic chemicals commonly used in processed foods, such as food dyes and emulsifiers, which can have negative effects on our health.

The episode concludes with Dr. Leona emphasizing the importance of eating natural foods in their unprocessed, unrefined state in order to get most of the nutrients we need.
