Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminute Fasting podcast, where Dr. Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weights.

Now there are seven things in a lot of foods that will ruin your liver. And I wanted to increase your awareness on this because a lot of people are being exposed to these things on a

regular basis and they don't know it. And as far as your liver goes, you're about as healthy as your liver. Your skin is a reflection of the liver. If your liver is bad, your skin's not

to look too good. The liver is a huge organ. It's like three pounds. It helps you with digestion.

It helps your blood clot. Mainly, it helps you detoxify poisons. It turns poisonous things into harmless

things. Okay. And so let's dive right and go through the list. Number one, you want to avoid

soy protein isolates. Here's a big question about soy protein isolates. What do you think they do to isolate this

protein from soy? Well, they use chemicals. It's highly processed. They have to go through a whole

series of things to extract this concentrated protein. And to do that, they have to use something called hexane.

That's a petroleum byproduct.

It's a solvent.

It's not good for the liver.

It's actually a neurotoxin.

And so when you look at like diet shakes or diet powders or protein bars or veggie burgers, always read the label. I don't recommend

consuming it if it has soy protein isolates. The way I was introduced to soy protein isolates

is that I had a series of people that came into my clinic that were on the diet that was called

ideal protein. And that was a major ingredient in this so-called healthy ketogenic plan where it had

very low carbs, but it also had very, very low fat, okay, and very, very low quality ingredients. And so it was filled with soy protein isolates.

And I noticed when people got on that program, when they lost weight, and they did lose weight,

they didn't look healthy. And a number of them develop serious, like liver inflammation,

higher amount of liver enzymes, a lot of digestive problems,

and gallbladder issues. And so when they came off those products, it cleared up.
