During the podcast interview the following topics were discussed:

* Impact of UltraProcessed Foods:
They delved into the detrimental effects of consuming ultraprocessed foods on brain health and the central nervous system. These foods often contain high levels of additives, sugar, unhealthy fats, and artificial ingredients. The discussion might have included details about how these components, especially in Class 4 ultraprocessed foods, could influence cognitive function, mental health, and overall neurological wellbeing.

* NOVA Classification System:
Dr. Lustig elaborated on the NOVA classification system, emphasizing the distinctions between the four classes of food. Class 4, which includes ultraprocessed foods like fast food and packaged snacks, was probably highlighted as being particularly concerning due to its high content of additives and low nutritional value.

* Toxicity of MegaDosing of vitamin B6 and D
The conversation centered on the risks associated with high doses of vitamin B6 and D supplements. Dr. Lustig may have explained how excessive intake of D and B6 supplements can lead to symptoms like nerve damage, tingling, and numbness, emphasizing the importance of staying within recommended daily allowances to avoid potential toxicity.

* How your body may generate the active form of Vitamin D ?

* Regulatory Oversight of Food Supplements:
They discussed the lack of stringent regulations governing the introduction of food supplements to the market. This included considerations about the need for better oversight, testing, and approval processes to ensure the safety, efficacy, and quality of supplements available to consumers.

* Hazards of Emulsifiers:
Dr. Lustig might expanded on the adverse effects of certain emulsifiers found in processed foods. These additives might act as detergents, disrupting the gut's protective mucin layer. This disruption could potentially expose gut epithelial cells to toxins and microbes, leading to inflammation, altered gut function, and potentially contributing to various gutrelated issues.

Their discussion revolved around raising awareness of the potential health risks associated with highly processed foods, including their impact on brain health, the dangers of excessive nutrient supplementation, the need for better regulation and oversight in the supplement industry, and the potential hazards posed by specific additives used in processed foods.
