Consumption

Because social media is flooding people's lives, especially youth, some doctors see it as an opportunity to carry out preventive measures. This is the case of Doctor Jeremy London, in the United States.

On his TikTok account, with 406,000 subscribers, the cardiac surgeon practicing in Georgia, warns against the dangers of certain foods, which are nevertheless part of the daily life of many people.

Unsurprisingly, the doctor talks about everything that is on our favorite fast food restaurant's menu; ultra-processed food is, according to him, the most harmful to health. Without forgetting to mention the soft drinks that flow freely in these types of establishments. Firstly, because of their sugar content, which is much too high, and secondly because of the chemicals they contain.

Are you a cheese lover? According to Dr London, dairy products also represent a risk. Here is what he says about it: “we are the only mammals to drink milk outside of infancy and we drink milk from a different species. Think about it”. He also advises consuming it in small doses.

The doctor could not ignore the damage caused by alcoholic beverages on the body as well. Alcohol is “absolutely toxic to every cell in our body”, he reminds us. “Even moderate or occasional consumption” would end up being harmful to our health. For Jeremy London, it is better to do without it.
