Microblog: Fruit Smoothie vs. Whole Milk

Microblog: Fruit Smoothie vs. Whole Milk

Note: This isn’t a brand endorsement. I could care less. It’s sharing two common companies that the average American frequents. You can get milk and half & half anywhere. It’s sharing real life with real life examples.

Smoothies have become a superfood.

❓Why?

❓Because they make sugar go down faster?

❓Or because they allow us to drink all our greens faster so we don’t have to taste them?

🧸When I was a Cal student, I worked at the Jamba Juice across the street from campus. I know how every single drink is made.

🍨Trust me when I say there’s a lot of sugar in each drink.

🧃They use pasteurized, highly processed fruit drinks to add sugar (and to help the smoothie blend).

🍧They use non-fat sorbets and frozen yogurts to increase the sugar content without making the calorie content higher (gram for gram, fat has higher calories than sugar or protein).

🚫In the US, in 2010, the federal government banned all whole milk in U.S. schools.

❓Why?

The only milk options are now:
❗️1% milk
❗️Skim milk (non-fat milk)
❗️And skim chocolate milk

❓Why?

⭐️We need fat for sex hormones
⭐️We need fat for brain health.
⭐️Every cell’s outer layer is made of fat.

❓Why are they demonizing whole milk (fat) and adding more sugar to the children’s diet?

Are they trying to make our children:
⚠️dumbed down with less proper nutrition for brain growth?
⚠️sick and fat?
⚠️depressed and anxious?
⚠️not properly develop hormonally?

💔Our children’s generation is the first generation expected to die earlier than the generation prior.

First ever.

🧬Yet somehow science has come a long way and we’ve even mapped the human genome.

🥩Yet we don’t know how to feed humans proper nutrition.

🧐Something is clearly wrong.

⁉️Our diet recommendations are wrong. At what point are we going to realize this?

⚠️99.999% of people would see the fruit smoothie vs. the milk smoothie and consider the fruit a la natural drink to be far healthier than the milk.

❓Why? The nutrition facts say otherwise.

☣️As Dr. Lustig says, just because toxin comes with vitamin c, doesn’t mean the toxin isn’t a toxin. Vitamin C does not outweigh the risks of high fructose and added sugar.

🥛(Raw) Milk does a body good. But low-fat, fat-free milks are trash—fortified with synthetic vitamins and added sugars. And frankly, making our children sick and fat.
