Today, we’re going to investigate the truth about avocados, avocado oil, and your health. When avocados arrive at the grocery store, they’re often put into a gas chamber and artificially ripened with ethylene gas. The artificial ripening process leaves this superfood devoid of phytonutrients.
One research study evaluated 22 different brands of avocado oil and discovered that many products were oxidized, which can cause inflammation. Surprisingly, many products were actually fake avocado oil, mainly composed of soy and canola oils.
Approximately 82% of avocado oil is not what it says it is! In the US, there are no official rules on avocado oil or a legally binding definition of the avocado oil extraction process. This has opened the door for corruption.
Some avocado oil products contain no avocado oil at all! The origins of your avocado oil can also be misleading. A product can be labeled “product of the US”, but grown and blended elsewhere, as long as the final product is bottled in the US.
Avocado oil doesn’t always have an expiration or production date, making it difficult to determine how long it’s been sitting on the shelf.
Fast food guacamole does not contain much avocado. It’s often replaced with green peas, hydrogenated oils, and food starches. Cosmetics also claim to use avocado oil, yet soy, palm, and mineral oils are usually listed first on the ingredient list.
If you want to buy avocado oil, look for the following:
•Dark, glass bottle
•Expiration date
•Avoid the cheapest brand
•Look for the harvest date
•Look for green-colored oil
When choosing avocados, look for Californian varieties, such as the Hass variety. Avoid the cheaper, shiny, bagged varieties.
Avocados can be an incredibly healthy food if you choose the right ones. They contain healthy fats, minimal omega-6 fats, and are a rich source of potassium and magnesium.

Thanks for watching! I hope this increases your awareness about avocados and avocado oil. I’ll see you in the next video.
Ffs sake I’m just going to limit myself to 8 glasses of air and one scoop of dust
Smh so I guess it’ll be microplastic dust….such a strange time we live in
😅😅😅
You know that dust is mostly human skin cells ? That makes it keto friendly tho
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Next week: scientific results find 8 glasses or air may cause more damage than 7.
Week after: People dying due to overdose on 7 glasses of air
Nothing is safe these days.
just eat what humans ate in nature its not that complicated…
I make my own guac, only use organic coconut and olive oil and only buy haas. Always wash all produce and even eggs to remove salmonella.
True
VACKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK
SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEENS
Because satanist and new age luciferians run our gov and farms.
Here in the philippines our neighbor has an avocado tree. It bears fruit seasonally and she shares some. No gas used.
That’s probably the best kind, definitely lucky to have a person like that in your life
Lucky you…
Nice, I have two trees here in the Philippines ❤❤
Philippine avocados are so good and inexpensive as well.
@6188
That’s so kind of them! I would love that. ❤
We need to go back to the good old natural farming
We have air plane that sprays fields, all pesticides . August big here in Indiana. A very few don’t use it at all.
Grow what you can. A small backyard strawberry patch or even a large pot of them can produce pounds of fruit. Strawberries tend to top the dirty dozen list so at least you’ll have 1 food safer.
Ye the answer you seek is “PERMACULTURE” try bill mollison Geoff lawton David holgram. Permaculture 1 and permaculture a designers manual. Thank me later
I work with inner city blacks and white working class Midwesterners. They are constantly shoving their faces with chips, Doritos and Flaming Hot Cheetos. Then, washing down with soda. Many of them are morbidly obese. It all needs to stop. They have to have giant commercial farms to feed these low IQ animals. You have to build your way out of this. In the end, the quality food will cost most of your paycheck because it takes hard work and valuable resources to grow it. I spend 5 to $600 a week to feed my family the cleanest foods we can source.
Good luck there. You would need to grow indoor to be protected from the poisons coming down on us.
Dr Berg My brother said that you are the reason that he is no longer diabetic type 2 and he said Thank you, God bless you.❤ ❤

SAFE FOODS are a Rare commodity here in the US. RARE!!!
Seems they don’t really even exist. What else don’t we know?
Not only us, eu introduced many many rubbish sold under false pretences.
Seems the rare commodity is honest people who aren’t greedy shits….
Especially in the trumpy’s administration.
And US is tarrif the rest of the world to accept US foods or else…
I swear im trying my best to eat better but they keep messing with it and it’s getting me sicker.
I bought a little violin special just for you. Can you hear it??
The fear that they keep alive in us is also continuing our chronic illnesses!
@@ytr3488 What a horrid thing to say! God forbid you ever suffer with chronic illness! 😠
It is not just you. I used to feel so healthy cooking with organic ingredients and lately it seems I no longer feel the same way. I will add, I moved to Europe since and I still feel better when I do cook with organic ingredients in Europe, ones NOT sourced from the US.
@@ytr3488 What a horrid thing to say! God forbid you ever end up living with a chronic illness! 😠
I am appalled at what has happened to our food chain supply. I worry for my kids who are growing up in this polluted world. All in the name of greed. Even the air is polluted. As a nurse I have seen an incremental rise in cancer in young adults. We are being poisoned from all sides.
where did the degradation begin, by who and why would ANYONE purposefully cause harm to other people.
Evil. Greed.
yes, you would be correct but worrying will not solve the problem.
So sad

We used to eat avocados almost everyday. We threw nearly all the avocados to garbage this year. They looked great from the outside but inside were disasterous. I know the reason now.Thank you.
Same here! Mangy n gross 😢
I have always wondered what is so special about avocados, and why americans love it… I’m from europe and I tried avocado few times and it tasted like margarin… No smell just taste of fat. I thought myself what a disgusting fruit…
Maybe it wasn’t meant to be like that…
@@lglge611it does well by adding salt or salt and garlic with a little cilantro..just like butter added to popcorn or other food..its the combination …quacamole is the best …
bananas have been like this also.
@@lglge611We’re close to Mexico (and a lot of us are Mexican-American). It’s part of the culture. We use it for guacamole and as a topping.
It seems like USDA needs to be demolished and rebuilt also.
I agree they have become compromised by the corporate greed of America. So has the FDA.
No, we need to stop letting government dictate what we can and can’t eat. We need to takr responsiblity for ourselves, whether that is fully supporting local products or grow and make your own things/food. Government intervention will never be the answer to the problems they created. Government works for the ultrarich who fund them and put them in office.
@@Uilani-g4m How about roundup? That’s ok too?
Finding safe, real food is as hard as finding an honest human being, sad, sad, sad.
Sad😢 but true.
Yep..one day something is good for you, than the next day some one else does a total flip..and says oh no..its not good for you..and this is why I don’t listen to YOUTUBE CRAP…I just try to eat healthy..(organic) and lay off the sugars..fast foods, PROCESS foods, Alcohol , Sodas…seed oils. Ect..Ect…
Your comment should be highlighted!!!!! Thank You ❤😊
Food is so safe that many farmers can’t afford to grow because food safety costs are exorbitant. People need to get educated before believing everything they hear on internet. Go talk to an American grower…
Nope easy as steak.
I am grateful that where i live avocado trees are incredibly common, they’re massive, many times neighbors give them for free, and are delicious.
Where do you live? Which country?
That’s wonderful! I’m a wee bit jealous!
You live in a supreme community. Thank you for sharing the wealth.
My parents have an avocado 🥑 tree in their home…it’s hard to trust the market now a days
You’re just talking. People asking what country are you from and no answer.
Hated store bought tomatoes until I tried one homegrown off the vine. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!!
Fresh tomatoes are amazing.
Yes I am convinced that that’s why children don’t want their vegetables because they haven’t tasted real tasty ripe delicious vegetables.@@JasonBuckman
Honestly if you’ve ever had a garden or ever cooked from scratch, none of this is any news. As a gardener, I know that when I pick vegetables, the clock is ticking. You either eat it, or can it but with few exceptions fresh fruit and vegetables have a short shelf life. Real bread (not from the store) molds and turns green after a few days. That’s how you know it’s real and not full of preservatives.
Fella. The whole of US depends on drive throughs, after work hours and restaurants. Nobody , really likes to cook at home, it takes hours unless , you got 6 girlfriends 🤦🏿 4:00 🦠
And bread is toxic anyways.
@@pwx9000nothing wrong with bread when you make it yourself and eat it in moderation. It’d be hard to find 6 girls of this generation that would or could even manage a proper house, home, garden today. My generation, it was common.
100% true! That explains why an avocado may look perfect from outside but once you cut it in half it has gray and black spots.
And the black spots are unusable. We use Chosen Avocado Oil so hope it’s a good one!
Over the last couple of years I have noticed what looks like brown strings. I now get avocado’s from my local farmers market.
I bought a bag last week,, cut them open and they were rubbery!
Me, too. I use Chosen but have no idea if it’s true or not.
@@salonsavy6476 …green rubber that never ripens. I should have taken it back for a refund. It was inedible.
They do the same thing with tomatos. They pick them green and put them in a nitrogen gas chamber that turns them red. So the tomatos you get from the store aren’t ripe. But they do that because if they wait until the tomato is truely ripe, they won’t last but a few days on the store shelves. So they do that to give them a longer shelf life.
The oddest thing to me. Salt has an expiration date put on it. Salt which is a mineral and is already millions of years old. And also is used to preserve other foods. Somehow has an expiration date.
I grow my own in a pot.
Weird, I’ve never seen an expiration date on salt.
Went to a farmer on the Texas/ N.M. border and they had people picking & boxing tomatoes That said “Product of California vine ripened” These were clearly grown ON the ground, not even staked growing
up, plus they were green!! The farmer contracted the tomatoes, so she had nothing to do with any of this.
The expiration is because the plastic container or cardboard is deteriorating & your ingesting the container…. the expiration is how much you’re allowed to be poisoned
@@MountainwithaViewI was thinking the same. They should use glass
It’s ALWAYS something disgusting happening only in USA. I’m sick and tired of the greed and corruption
This is also done in the EU.
Happens everywhere on earth
Look up things that are banned in the USA and then things banned in the EU. You’ll see more things are allowed in the USA that are banned in the EU. AND NOT VICE VERSA.
Not just USA, other countries too
That’s why the people are aggressive, neurotic, perverted, depressed, and on pills of some sort or another.
Thank you very much, Sir, for fearlessly coming out to speak about this corruption in our food industries.
When I was back home in Africa, I used to eat avocado seasonally, and I never had any issue of feeling sick after eating it. Fruits and vegetables are supposed to be seasonal. I thought avocado was going to be the same thing worldwide, little did I know. The first time I ate avocado outside of Africa, I felt sick and bloated. The same thing happened the second time I ate ago. This is when I stopped eating it. Whenever I travel home and it is fruit season, I eat all avocados that I want instead of eating poison here.
All the foods in Northern America, Europe, the UK, etc, are full of genetically modified organisms, preservatives, and addictive substances. These are the reasons why there are so many unknown diseases.
The title worried me but I have my own avocado trees so now I’m not worried… I can still enjoy my avocados… Thanks Dr. Berg!
Thank you
