My understanding is that the debate regarding GMOs is less to do with its effect on one’s health and more to do with the effect on the environment (e.g., the pesticide Roundup). In other words, corn that has been genetically modified to tolerate Roundup allows growers to spray large anounts of it on fields, thus increasing environmental pollution. Could someone comment on this?

Her claims about probiotics are way out of date – in part because “probiotics” covers a huge range of bacterial species and strains. Yes, some are sold just because the bacteria in them are easy to grow. But others contain bacteria that have a large amount of research detailing their benefits and the mechanisms of their benefits. Like l. reuteri, some strains of which produce reuterin, and have been proven to kill off bad bacteria like c. difficile. One paper found that the tested strain of l. reuteri was as effective as antibiotic treatment with vacomycin for eliminating c. difficile. Or a yeast, S. boulardii, which has a lot of evidence for doing similar control of bad gut bacteria and benefiting people with diseases like IBS. And yes, these have been demonstrated to survive the acid and bile salts in the upper gastrointestinal tract and get to the large intestine alive. Dr. Love is many years behind in her reading if she thinks that no probiotics are supported by high quality research – many are. Search the NIH, NHS, Nature and other reputable websites for scientific papers about this research.

Raw milk is easier to digest for those of us who are sensitive because when you pasteurize the milk you also denature the enzymes that were beneficial for digestion. That being said I wouldn’t drink raw milk for the reasons stated in this video. I do use it to make cheese because it has better texture and flavor and safe after 60 days of aging. Store bought milk is terrible for making cheese because oh the homogenization.

2 points I think need further answers… but first, I do appreciate videos like this to combat misinformation.
1) I noticed you often say, “The amount of exposure is negligible,” when debunking toxic exposure time/levels. This may be true in isolation (one-off incidences) AND these exposure levels may be ‘lower’ (safe enough) for federal guidelines, but I think there’s a bigger point to be made. It’s an accumulation of exposure to hundreds or perhaps, thousands of chemicals over one’s lifetime that makes these ‘isolated exposure amounts’ too great over time.
How many chemicals have yet to be identified as carcinogenic? So, is there a ‘safe’ level of exposure to any known carcinogenic? I don’t know. But my point of seeing the bigger picture – of viewing exposure over a lifetime – is worth mentioning.
2) If cancer cells use up (feed) off glucose more so than normal cells, wouldn’t the growth rate be slowed if glucose intake was reduced? Meaning… if the brain and healthy cells compete with cancer cells for what little glucose remains, it makes sense tumor growth would be slowed. Not negated, or cured, but slowed… ?
I’m no expert, nor do I play one on TV… just asking common sense questions, which very well may prove wrong.

Just a quick correction, mRNA vaccines do not modify your cell’s RNA. They ARE the RNA which the cell can then use to make a protein. mRNA technology is a lot simpler and cleaner than older methods. It also allows for a very high degree of antigen specificity.
