Episode notes
Hidden Sugars Trigger Cravings
- Many processed meats contain added sugars under names like dextrose or maltodextrin that don't taste sweet but activate the brain's reward system.
- Ben Azadi explains even trace sugars can raise dopamine, increase cravings, and override satiety, driving overeating.
Seed Oils Create Long-Lasting Damage
- Many meats include seed oils (canola, soybean, sunflower) that Azadi calls oxidized omega-6 fats causing inflammation and harm.
- He claims these damaged fats can persist around cell membranes with a half-life up to 680 days and impair fat burning.
Avoid Fillers And Binders In Meat
- Avoid processed meat products that include fillers like modified starches, potato flour, or carrageenan.
- Ben Azadi warns these fillers slow protein absorption, irritate the gut, and trigger rebound hunger.
