Synopsis: Don’t Touch These 10 Foods If You Have Diabetes (High Blood Sugar)
In the eye-opening video, “Don’t Touch These 10 Foods If You Have Diabetes,” Dr. Eric Berg delves into the critical relationship between diet and diabetes. He emphasizes that insulin resistance, the precursor to both pre-diabetes and diabetes, can develop over 15-20 years, driven primarily by the chronic consumption of refined sugars and harmful seed oils.
The video highlights ten specific foods to avoid, including fast food, deep-fried items, chips, doughnuts, sweetened beverages, and more. These choices often combine damaging ingredients, such as refined sugars and rancid seed oils, which lead to cellular damage and hinder insulin function.
Dr. Berg stresses the importance of detoxifying aldehydes created by consuming these foods and suggests nourishing alternatives like grass-fed red meat and sulfur-rich vegetables. By understanding the root causes of insulin resistance and making informed dietary choices, viewers can take control of their blood sugar levels and overall health.

Long before prediabetes and diabetes comes insulin resistance. You can be insulin resistant for 15-20 years before you develop diabetes!
Chronic sugar consumption can lead to insulin resistance, but seed oils can be equally problematic. Seed oils cause damage to the cell membranes (which contain insulin receptors) and damage to the mitochondria.
There is evidence that unsaturated fatty acids can reduce the risk of diabetes, but this is not the case with rancid, oxidized seed oils. These highly refined seed oils are full of toxic byproducts such as aldehydes, which create irreversible damage in the insulin receptor. The average person consumes 25%-30% of their calories from seed oils.
You can have high insulin and normal blood sugar for many years. Over time, this overworks the pancreas, causing the beta cells that produce insulin to become overworked and eventually stop producing insulin, leaving the body without a mechanism to regulate blood sugar levels.
Normal blood sugar should be around 80, which is equivalent to a single teaspoon of sugar in the blood, even though the average person consumes 81 to 131 teaspoons of sugar every day!
If you have diabetes or you want to avoid it, avoid these foods:
1. Fast food fries and fried chicken
2. Deep-fried restaurant foods
3. Chips/crisps/corn chips
4. Doughnuts and pastries
5. Sweetened drinks
6. Frozen breaded foods
7. Commercial salad dressing and mayo
8. Instant noodles
9. Granola/protein bars and cookies
10. Microwave popcorn
To detox aldehydes, consume more of the following nutrients:
•Carnosine: grass-fed red meat
•Sulfur-rich vegetables: onions, garlic, broccoli
•Polyphenols: green tea, dark chocolate, pomegranate
