Modern Living: The Silent Sabotage of Our Health - AI Podcast
Story at-a-glance
- Switching from butter, lard and tallow to seed oils (like soybean, corn and canola) drastically increased omega-6 consumption, fueling inflammation and metabolic dysfunction
- Sugar intake in the U.S. jumped from minimal levels in the 1800s to an average of 34 teaspoons per day, with ultraprocessed items now making up 60% of daily calories
- Modern industrial life introduced 85,000-plus synthetic chemicals into our environment — pesticides, plastics and more — that contaminate our food, water and even human tissue
- Only about 24.2% of U.S. adults meet federal exercise guidelines, while sedentary work, screen time and convenience technology have drastically reduced daily physical movement
- Before electricity, people slept around nine hours a night. Today, artificial light, nighttime tech use and jam-packed schedules mean fewer hours of rest and disrupted circadian rhythms
