I saw a clip on Instagram a couple of weeks ago and I haven't been able to get it out of my head since. Some of the brands I've trusted for years - brands that promised clean ingredients - may lying to all of us.

I've been talking about nutrition for the last few episodes - why food quality matters, why ingredient lists tell you more than nutrition labels, and why clean eating is one of the most powerful tools a diabetic has. So when a viral study started circulating that called out some of my favorite brands, I haven't been able to let it go.

I walk through what the study found, why seed oils and inflammatory ingredients matter so much for people managing diabetes, and what this means for how we shop and what we actually believe when we read a label. What are we to do when our trusted brands aren't as honest as we thought?

🔑 Key Takeaways

• What the avocado oil authenticity study found — and why the results are infuriating
• Why seed oils are inflammatory and why that matters specifically for insulin resistance
• Which brands failed the authenticity test — and which ones passed
• Why reading an ingredient label doesn't guarantee the product contains what it claims
• What the least-processed food sources are and why fewer hands means better nutrition
• Why chronic inflammation from processed foods drives insulin resistance over time
• Why coaching might be the thing that can help you THRIVE with diabetes
