Did you know that ultra-processed foods make up nearly 60% of the average American diet? Sixty percent! That means more than half of what most people eat is packed with additives, fillers, and ingredients you can't even pronounce. These aren't just harmless extras—they're often loaded with hidden sugars, unhealthy fats, and gut-damaging chemicals that can lead to a range of health problems, from inflammation and low energy to chronic diseases like diabetes and heart issues. It’s no wonder our health is struggling under the weight of these hidden dangers.

This is Episode 9 and we’re diving into a topic that’s right under our noses but often overlooked—hidden sugars. Sneaky, deceptive, and absolutely everywhere. From the cereal you might have had for breakfast to the granola bar you grabbed as a snack or the salad dressing you’ll pour onto dinner tonight, sugar is lurking in places you’d least expect. It’s not always labeled as “sugar” either—sometimes it goes by names like maltose, dextrose, or high-fructose corn syrup, making it even trickier to spot.

Can we really trust organic labels? Are they as pure and wholesome as they seem, or is there more to the story? By the end of this episode, you'll have the clarity to make better, more informed choices when it comes to buying so-called "organic" food. Spoiler alert: it’s not as simple as a sticker.
