What is up you guys? Welcome to yet another edition of controversial thoughts.

Costa Rica version. One of the amazing things about being able to get into the ocean in the morning

and surf for sunrise and then surf at sunset is it gives me a lot of space to relax and then I come back,

pretty rejuvenated and I get into some fun research rabbit holes during the day after I've gotten my saltwater,

my vitamin D, my grounding and my time in nature. So one of my favorite podcasts that I've heard in the

past is Josh Whiteskin and Tim Ferriss and Josh Whiteskin's quote was, you have to turn it on to

turn it off or you have to turn it off to turn it on is the more accurate translation of that.

So I love being here right now in Costa Rica traveling and turning it off so that I can turn it on

and do a bunch of interesting research that hopefully benefits you all. So I went down some really

fun rabbit holes that I want to share with you guys today. One of the great fallacies that I see

over and over in the health space today is reductionist thinking when it comes to food and nutrients

in food or macronutrients in food. Specifically I'm going to start by talking about fructose and glucose

and ask the question if honey is different than sugar and I'm obviously talking about raw organic honey

and you'll see why in these controversial thoughts. And then I'm going to segue quickly to the question

of is all salt created equally with the overarching premise here being that reductionist thinking in

nutritional studies or nutritional paradigms doesn't work and fails us. And so we have to be very

careful of studies that like to look at isolated fructose, isolated glucose, isolated sodium chloride

administration and compare those with studies where actual real unheated honey is used like our

ancestors would have eaten like the hodza ate like I ate with the hodza in Tanzania a few weeks ago

and ask the question is that honey that's coming out of a treat really bad for me? How do I reconcile

that with some studies in mice or rats that say fructose is bad for humans? And then furthermore

what about sea salt? Our ancestors certainly would have gathered this from the ocean. It would have
