Hey guys, someone had a question, how do you actually become deficient in the vitamin

B1?

Because in the other videos I was talking about the importance of B1 when you're doing

keto, vitamin fasting, to also protect you against the damage of high levels of insulin

and high sugar, okay?

This is how you become deficient.

Number one, you consume refined grains in the form of breads, pauses, cereals, crackers,

biscuits, white rice, things like that.

Alcohol will do it.

Liver damage as in a fatty liver or cirrhosis of the liver, which a lot of people have and

don't even know it yet, stress and cortisol from medications that you're taking, predisone,

anti-inflammatories, that type of thing.

Metformin, which is the main medication for type 2 diabetes, creates a B1 deficiency,

which then can set the person up for experiencing complications of diabetes.

So if anyone's on Metformin, they better be taking B1 at the same time to counter the

side effects.

Number six, sugar.

Any of the sugars will deplete B1 unless you're consuming actual sugar cane by itself because

that has a lot of B1, but of course, no one does that, and I don't recommend it because

it's actually still high in sugar, but it will not deplete you of B1 because naturally

sugar cane has B1 in it, but the refined version does not.

Okay.
