DESCRIPTION: Standard rifle bullets disperse tiny lead fragments throughout the flesh of wild game, raising public health concerns about lead poisoning in those that consume venison, based on a study of white-tailed deer shot by hunters. The new data I refer to in the beginning is a reference to yesterday's video-of-the-day Modern Meat Not Ahead of the Game (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/modern-meat-not-ahead-of-the-game/). Lead has also been found in protein powder supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/heavy-metals-in-protein-powder-supplements/), ayervedic medicine supplements (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/get-the-lead-out/), and other animal products (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/cannibalistic-feed-biomagnification/). Maybe in shot kangaroo meat too? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/modern-meat-not-ahead-of-the-game/) Like mercury in tuna (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nerves-of-mercury/), no level of lead consumption can be considered safe. So what's the least unhealthy meat? Find out in tomorrow's video-of-the-day Good Grub: The Healthiest Meat (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/good-grub-the-healthiest-meat/).

I’ve previously talked about this class of chemicals in Food Sources of Flame Retardant Chemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-flame-retardant-chemicals/). The same foods seem to accumulate a variety of pollutants:
• Food Sources of Perfluorochemicals (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-perfluorochemicals/)
• Food Sources of PCB Chemical Pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/food-sources-of-pcb-chemical-pollutants/)
• Fish and Diabetes (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/fish-and-diabetes)
• Diabetes and Dioxins (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/diabetes-and-dioxins)
• Pollutants in Salmon and Our Own Fat (http://www.nutritionfacts.org/video/pollutants-in-salmon-and-our-own-fat)
Many of these chemicals have hormone (“endocrine”) disrupting effects. See, for example:
• Protein, Puberty, and Pollutants (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/protein-puberty-and-pollutants/)
• Obesity-Causing Pollutants in Food (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/obesity-causing-pollutants-in-food/)
• Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors and Allergies (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors-and-allergies/)
• Dietary Sources of Alkylphenol Endocrine Disruptors (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-sources-of-alkylphenol-endocrine-disruptors/)
• Dietary Pollutants May Affect Testosterone Levels (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dietary-pollutants-may-affect-testosterone-levels)

DESCRIPTION: Despite the caloric density of both nuts and dried fruit, they do not appear to lead to the expected weight gain. The video documenting similar findings in nuts and nut butters is here: Nuts and Obesity: The Weight of Evidence (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/nuts-and-obesity-the-weight-of-evidence/) and the mechanisms are summarized in Solving the Mystery of the Missing Calories (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/solving-the-mystery-of-the-missing-calories/) and explored further in Testing the Pistachio Principle (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-pistachio-principle/), Testing the Dietary Compensation Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-dietary-compensation-theory/), Testing the Fat Burning Theory (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/testing-the-fat-burning-theory/), and Fat Burning Via Arginine (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/fat-burning-via-arginine/).
What's the problem with eating added sugars? Besides all the empty calories, it can lead to the formation of excess uric acid in the body (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/flesh-and-fructose/).
If you missed my last two videos on dried fruit, check out Dried Apples, Dates, Figs or Prunes for Cholesterol? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/dried-apples-dates-figs-or-prunes-for-cholesterol/) and Prunes vs. Metamucil vs. Vegan Diet (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/prunes-vs-metamucil-vs-vegan-diet/). One more coming up, Raisins vs. Jelly Beans for Athletic Performance (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/raisins-vs-jelly-beans-for-athletic-performance/).

OK, a plant-based diet may be best, but is there a plant in particular that has been shown to be particularly powerful? I’m glad you asked! That’s the topic of my follow-up video The Best Food for Fibroids (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/the-best-food-for-fibroids) coming up next.
