This is a YouTube video titled "Almond milk is damaging your health." containing a monologue by Bernard Sanders recorded on June 6, 2024. The content discusses the health implications of almond milk, highlighting concerns about its ingredients and potential negative effects such as mineral depletion, kidney stones, gout, and skin issues. The speaker critiques almond milk as not being a true health food product.
What they figured out with almond milk was, oh, we can take leftover parts of almonds and the ones that are broken and unsightly and we can use those to make milk. And it's just a few almonds and some canola oil and some high fructose corn syrup, some flavorings and we blend it up and we sell it for like $8 as a health food product. It's not a health food product. So almond milk is high in phytic acid that sucks minerals out of your bones. You have to take more minerals. And it's also high in oxalates, which are the things that are causing kidney stones and things that are causing gout and joint pain when you wake up. Even if you have really bad skin and you're eating a ton of these high oxalate foods like almond milk and kale smoothies and all this can be why, because it's making tiny razor sharp calcium oxalate crystals in your skin that are coming out. So I don't recommend almond milk.
