Justin Mares: Why You Should Avoid Corn, Soy, and Wheat in Your Diet | TUH #070
About this video
In a podcast short, food entrepreneur Justin Mares (Kettle & Fire, Truemed) shares three food-industry warnings with Brecka. Mares argues corn, soy and wheat are artificially cheap due to subsidies, heavily processed, widely sprayed, and present in much of the food supply — with soybean oil alone a large share of American calories, by his account. He also urges avoiding plastic-packaged food and bottled water over PFAS ‘forever chemicals’ and microplastics, noting canned drinks often have plastic linings, and recommends buying local whole foods, ideally in glass, as fresher and less chemically burdened.
Key takeaways
- Mares claims corn, soy and wheat are subsidized into artificial cheapness and inserted into most packaged foods
- He argues these crops carry heavy glyphosate exposure, citing contamination findings he attributes to recent testing
- Mares presents plastic packaging and plastic-lined cans as meaningful microplastic and PFAS exposure routes to avoid
- He says local whole foods are typically fresher, more nutrient-dense and free of long-haul preservation chemistry
