The Food Industry Doesn’t Want You to Know the Truth About Meat

What if the real diabetes cure was buried by lobbyists, flawed science, and a $4.3 trillion healthcare system? In this raw interview, orthopedic surgeon and carnivore diet pioneer Dr. Shawn Baker exposes how the beef industry refused to fund research on meat’s power to reverse diabetes, while the USDA greenlit a “healthy” diet of 91% ultra-processed junk. Here’s why your food freedom is under siege—and who profits from your sickness.

The USDA’s "Healthy" Diet is 91% Lab-Made Junk (Yes, Really)

Feeling sluggish after a long winter? Let's kickstart your energy levels! Here are 3 simple yet powerful strategies:

This isn’t a conspiracy theory—it’s official policy. In a jaw-dropping 2023 study, the USDA intentionally designed a 7-day meal plan where 91% of calories came from ultra-processed foods (think protein bars, sugary cereals, and canned soups)—and declared it "healthy" after it scored 86/100 on their nutrition scale. Why? Because it technically hit macro/micro targets (except vitamin D, E, and choline—details they glossed over).

But here’s the sinister truth: This was a strategic maneuver by an agency infiltrated by processed food lobbyists. As Baker reveals, former USDA officials routinely "sit on boards of Nabisco and PepsiCo." Their goal? Normalize industrial slop as "safe" to protect a $1 trillion junk food empire. Meanwhile, Brazil’s dietary guidelines—written without corporate influence—state the obvious: "Cook at home. Don’t eat processed foods."

Your survival takeaway: If the USDA calls it "healthy," scrutinize it like a suspect. Real food doesn’t need a government stamp.

Your "Healthy" Smoothie is a Sugar Bomb in Disguise

Forget candy—liquid sugar is metabolic poison. When you blend fruit into smoothies or sip orange juice, you’re not getting "nutrients." You’re unleashing flood of fructose straight into your liver without the fiber that naturally slows absorption in whole fruit. Baker nails it: This "unnatural form" of sugar bypasses your digestive safeguards, spiking insulin and overwhelming your system.

Worse? It starves your microbiome. When you eat whole foods, up to 22% of calories feed your gut bacteria (critical for immunity and metabolism). But liquid sugar? It’s absorbed instantly—robbing your microbiome while bombarding your body with empty calories. This explains why studies show fruit juice correlates with obesity as strongly as soda.

Fix it now: Eat fruit—don’t drink it. If it’s squeezable from a pouch, skip it.

The Beef Industry SILENCED a Diabetes Cure to Protect Profits

Imagine knowing meat could reverse diabetes—and being blocked from proving it. That’s exactly what happened to Dr. Baker. He approached the Beef Checkoff (a $80M/year industry fund) to study carnivore diets for diabetes—a treatment he’d seen work repeatedly (even the president of the California Cattlemen’s Association cured his own diabetes with meat!). Their response? A flat refusal.

Why? Follow the money. As Baker explains, the USDA oversees these funds while juggling conflicts: Processed food giants like PepsiCo sit on advisory boards. If beef cured diabetes, sales of insulin ($35B market), diet shakes, and sugary "health foods" would plummet. So they buried it—just like Harvard researchers who blamed beef for diabetes while ignoring subjects’ soda and pasta consumption.

Your move: Vote with your plate. Support regenerative ranchers—not lobbyist-captured check-offs.

The Bottom Line: Your Health Is Being Sold 

You’ve just seen the three-headed monster rigging the system:

1. The USDA pushing lab-made slop as "healthy" to protect lobbyists,

2.  "Health" trends like smoothies hijacking your metabolism worse than candy,

3. Industry giants silencing a diabetes cure to keep you sick and profitable

This isn’t conspiracy—it’s corruption documented in plain sight. And Dr. Shawn Baker, the orthopedic surgeon and carnivore diet pioneer who exposed it, refuses to stay silent.

Your move?

Stop waiting for broken systems to save you.

- Eat real food (if it didn’t exist 100 years ago, skip it).

- Question every "official" guideline (follow the money first).

- Share this issue—someone you know is drinking poison labeled "healthy."

Your health is your sovereignty. Take it back.
