Ready to change your health for the better? Ditch junk food for good. Download my FREE app and start using the Junk Food Meter to scan barcodes and instantly reveal the hidden dangers in processed foods!

With just one scan, you’ll see the percentage of sugar, starch, and seed oils lurking in your food. These are the 3 deadly ingredients in ultra-processed junk foods—and my app helps you quickly identify and avoid them.

You'll be surprised at how many “healthy” foods are actually loaded with these harmful ingredients!

Don’t be fooled by "zero sugar" labels. Starch is basically hidden sugar, and it’s just as harmful to your body. Most junk foods are packed with toxic ingredients like rancid seed oils, processed starches, and artificial chemicals—yet they lack the essential nutrients your body craves.

Did you know the average person consumes over 100 pounds of modified food starches every year? it’s in everything from baby formula to pet food—and it's a huge part of a teenager’s diet. It's time to take control and make smarter food choices!

Junk foods are “dead” foods. They’ve been stripped of vital vitamins, minerals, and phytochemicals—and loaded with preservatives, coloring, and MSG. That’s not food; that’s just a bunch of chemicals your body doesn’t know what to do with.

Download the app now, and let me know what you think. Plus, get access to a link sharing simple, healthy food swaps to replace those junk food choices. It's like having Dr. Berg right in your pocket—giving you instant guidance on what to eat and what to avoid every step of the way!

0:12.5	Wow. 28% sugar, 15% seed oil and 41% starch. Let's go with Cheetos. Do a little scan. Boom. Oh, look at that. Zero sugar,
0:23.2	but 35 percent seed oils and 52 percent starch. Let's see what's in Coca-Cola. Do a little scan.
0:31.1	It's all sugar. No surprises there. And of course, high fructose corn syrup sugar. Let's try
0:36.8	some healthy cereal, lucky charms.
0:38.8	Do a little scan on the barcode and wow, 40% sugar, 40% starch.
0:43.5	And by the way, starch is hidden sugar.
0:46.4	Let's look at mayonnaise.
0:49.2	Do a little scan.
0:50.9	Yeah, I'm not surprised.
0:52.2	82% seed oils. Let's check out nature's own white bread. Do a little scan,
0:58.2	57% starch, 4% seed oils, and 6% sugar. The biggest realization I had in this project
1:05.4	was that the great majority of all junk food, this stuff right here, mostly is three simple ingredients. Sugar right
1:13.9	here. Okay, sugar. Then we have the starches, right? But not just any starch, highly industrial

1:30.1	We're talking about seed oils that are so rancid, so oxidized. They're going to go into your cell
1:35.6	membranes and create a lot of inflammation. And if you were to eat this right now, this disgusting
1:40.9	mixture, you would probably vomit. What they had to do was they had to add
1:45.7	artificial flavors, then they would have to add hollarings to it, and then they have to put some
1:51.2	chemicals to preserve it, and then more chemicals to make you keep eating it, called MSG. And what's
