Summary

Episode Highlights With Todd

The problems with most wines today
Why most wines are not natural and the unsavory things added to most wines today
What we don’t know about wine may be hurting us
Alcohol is objectively toxic and why Todd, as the wine guy, explains this in depth and why it can be best not to drink it at all
Todd’s own rules around drinking to minimize negative effects and why he chooses it for joy and not for health reasons
Why they started adding toxins and additives to wine
Wine has been made for 9,000 years and all wine was natural, but this changed in the 1920s
Only 4% of US wines are organic but it’s worse than that
Grapes are #6 on the dirty dozen so organic wine is important
Beyond organic… the nasty stuff added to most wines (even some organic ones)
The massive consolidation of the wine industry that led to 3 companies controlling over 50% of wine
There are 76 additives approved for use in wine
Why Todd believes wine labels should have a contents (ingredients) label and nutritional info
The only two ingredients found in a natural wine: grapes and native natural yeast
Other ingredients in conventional wines: sugars, dyes, animal products, 12 additives classified as health hazards, 8 derived from black mold, and two classified by NIH as acute toxins meaning too much in a 24 hour period can be fatal
How big wine companies respond to claims about natural wines (and how they responded to a lawsuit showing arsenic in wine at 5x the amount allowed in water)
The reason Prop 65 in California can actually let companies get away with additives in wine based on disclosure
What is natural wine and the standards it adheres to
Why wild native yeast is important and what makes it so different
How conventional wines often contain GMO yeast
Why they only accept 21% of the wines they test (and they only choose organic wines to start with)

0:00.0	Welcome to my Bobby's Podcast!
0:05.0	This podcast is brought to you by Elements that's spelled L-M-N-T, which is a company
0:10.9	that I have to chance to invest in and have loved since day one.
0:15.9	They just released brand new great fruit flavor on top of all of their other flavors that
0:20.4	I absolutely love, including watermelon, which is a kid's favorite in my house, as well
0:24.3	as citrus, raspberry, orange, and a couple of ones that I really like like mango and
0:29.4	habanero, lemon habanero as well.
0:31.7	As you know, summer brings warmth and sunshine, and with it, energizing opportunities to all
0:36.2	of us to move and play and be outside.
0:39.1	But it also brings a fair amount of sweat.
0:42.0	And if you are a regular sauna user like me, you know that sweat is part of it, as well
0:46.5	as if you exercise regularly.
0:48.5	And this is why optimal hydration is the key with the right fluid to electrolyte
0:53.1	balance, because it just isn't just about getting enough water and fluid, but also making
0:58.6	sure our electrolytes are dialed in, and you feel the difference when you get it right.
1:03.6	So when summer brings the heat, element brings the grapefruit salt flavor to help you enjoy
1:08.5	that balance all summer long.
1:11.0	You can consider grapefruit or any of their flavors, your ultimate summer salt companion.
1:16.3	And I love that they combine sodium, magnesium, and potassium in the clinically studied ratios
1:23.1	to make sure that you can stay optimally hydrated even if you are saunaing or exercising
1:28.1	or just spending time outside in the summer.
1:31.1	Find out more about element by going to drinkelement.com slash wellness mama.
