(2:00) Gina has multiple friends who have met through apps and are now married. Vinnie gets clear on how some of the apps work, and basically, some of the apps are people just objectifying each other. Gina then plays a TikTok video about a popular coffee chain and how many grams of sugar is in its new pumpkin spice dessert coffee concoction. (15:00) The video states that 185 grams of sugar is in just one drink! Vinnie talks about a video he did years ago where he interviewed people outside a Starbucks about their drinks. He shares everything he observed. What people don't understand about all that sugar is that it is damaging their mitochondria and their DNA. (20:00) Damaging mitochondria and DNA creates a breeding ground for cancer to grow. Vinnie has been avoiding sugar for 16 years and his cancer has never come back, even after he was told it would return in 5 years. Food can either hurt or heal you, it's up to you. They also discuss Jim Abrahams, who was in "FAT: A Documentary." Vinnie recounts the story of Jim's son Charlie, who was a small child suffering multiple seizures a day. Even though Charlie was only 2 or 3 years old, doctors had given up. Jim had discovered the ketogenic diet, which was a 100-year-old proven therapy, but doctors were recommending a partial lobotomy! They were willing to cut out a piece of his brain, but not try changing his food! Jim made a movie starring Meryl Streep based on a true story similar to Charlie's. Look for the movie, "First Do No Harm," (1997). Check out Gina's book My Extra Mom. She also co-hosts with Bryan Bishop for @LAmag on the Bryan & Gina Show, which you can find on any podcast platform and YouTube.
