Courtney Swan: Why Your ‘Healthy’ Food Is Actually Harmful | TUH #171

About this video

Brecka interviews Courtney Swan of Real Foodology, who argues much of the US food supply was designed for profit rather than health and that many ‘healthy’ products are highly processed. She advocates returning to real, whole and where possible organic food, explains what organic certification restricts in her telling, and discusses food-policy advocacy and label reading.

Key takeaways

  • Swan claims most shelf food was created with profits, not health, in mind
  • She argues eating real food is the nutrition principle most likely to stand the test of time
  • Swan states organic rules restrict certain pesticides, growth hormones and genetically modified feed
  • She presents grocery guidance and label literacy as practical tools for shoppers
