The #1 Healthiest Food on Earth

Transcription

The number one healthiest food on planet Earth. There is a food on this planet that does something that no supplement, no superfood can come even close to matching. It teaches the immune system. It has the ability to train your gut microbiome and it actually has the ability to adapt and change depending on what's happening in your environment. Nothing else we eat even comes close to this.

So, the number one healthiest food on planet Earth is human breast milk. It is a super immune builder. Half of the mother's immune system called the innate immune system is given to that infant partially through breast milk. In breast milk, you have certain proteins that heal the gut wall. Modern foods, especially infant formula, can't even get close to the benefits of breast milk. Infant formula is the first ultrarocessed food that a child is exposed to. It's basically junk food. Formula is basically a chemistry project, not a food.

And so now the question is, as an adult, what would be a comparable product that you can consume? Would it be milk? The answer is no. So what is the next best thing? Fermented dairy, kefir, raw milk, cheese, and also yogurt. When you do the fermentation process, there's all sorts of additional things that are created that were not there originally. There are things in fermented dairy that actually help your immune system stop overreacting. It creates nutrients, vitamin B2, B12, folate, biotin. So fermented dairy is the closest thing adults have to breast.
