Human trafficking victims tortured into scamming innocent people | 60 Minutes Australia

It’s positive news, kind of. In the last year, the Australian Securities and Investments Commission, ASIC, has identified and shut down more than 7,300 phishing and investment scam websites. While it has stopped victims here losing millions, the scammers are still winning, raking in billions. They’re also coming up with more and more technically sophisticated ways to rip off their prey. As Adam Hegarty reports, much of this criminality is now headquartered in the failed state of Myanmar. There, trans-national crime bosses have resorted to human trafficking to amass a 120,000-strong workforce of scammers, who all day long are forced to con westerners out of their money.

Is AG1 (Athletic Greens) A Scam?!

While greens powders have gained popularity as a convenient and quick way to boost nutrient intake, they may not always be a good idea to incorporate into your nutritional regimen. Here are a few reasons why: 1. Lack of Nutritional Diversity: Greens powders typically contain a blend of various powdered vegetables, fruits, and herbs. However, they often lack the nutritional diversity found in whole, fresh foods. Whole foods offer a wide array of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, and phytochemicals that work synergistically to support optimal health. Relying solely on a greens powder may mean missing out on the benefits of consuming a variety of whole foods. 2. Reduced Fiber Content: One of the drawbacks of greens powders is that they are usually low in fiber compared to whole fruits and vegetables. Fiber plays a crucial role in digestion, promoting satiety, regulating blood sugar levels, and maintaining a healthy gut. By opting for a greens powder instead of consuming whole foods, you may be depriving your body of the necessary fiber intake. 3. Nutrient Loss: Processing and storing greens powders can result in nutrient loss. Certain nutrients, such as vitamin C and some B vitamins, are particularly vulnerable to degradation due to exposure to light, heat, and air. Consequently, the nutritional value of greens powders may not be as high as that of fresh produce. 4. Potential Contamination and Quality Issues: The production process of greens powders involves sourcing and drying vegetables, which may carry the risk of contamination with bacteria, pesticides, or heavy metals. Moreover, the quality and potency of greens powders can vary significantly between brands, making it essential to choose a reputable one. 5. Cost Considerations: Greens powders can be quite expensive, especially when compared to purchasing fresh fruits and vegetables. While they may offer convenience, they might not be the most cost-effective option for meeting your nutritional needs. In conclusion, while greens powders can provide a quick and convenient source of nutrients, they may not always be the best choice for a balanced nutritional regimen. Incorporating a wide variety of whole, fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet will offer a greater range of nutrients and fiber, supporting overall health and well-being. Greens powders can be used as a supplement occasionally, but they should not replace the benefits of a diverse, whole-food-based diet. Thanks Uncle GPT.

The Dark Side of The Fast Food Industry

In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the fast food industry’s secrets that can keep you wanting more but are detrimental to your health. The average American consumes between 2 and 3 fast food meals per week, which adds up to 150 to 200 meals per year. Even if you order value meals or make choices from the dollar menu, most people spend around $1500 to $2000 per year on fast food. The fast food industry uses all sorts of marketing tactics to keep you wanting more. Mcdonald’s uses yellow and red, which stimulate impulsivity, increase serotonin, and even encourage you to eat faster. The fast food industry also targets children, hence the playgrounds and happy meals at fast food restaurants. They use upselling techniques by offering fries or a combo, which can increase profits by more than 22%. Prices containing the number 9 can increase the likelihood of making a purchase! McDonald’s is one of the largest beef buyers in the U.S. They use low-quality factory-farmed beef fattened with grains and treated with antibiotics. Fast food meals also contain poor-quality ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, corn oil, soy oil, corn flour, corn starch, and fillers like maltodextrin. These ingredients are highly processed and highly inflammatory. Although fast food may seem cheaper and more convenient in the short term, it can cause massive health consequences in the long term.
