How Business Profits Can Compromise Consumer Well-Being

The conversation begins with the discussion and the disappointment at the lack of whole foods and the prevalence of highly processed, chemically-based plant products. The dialogue shifts to biohacking and its potential commercialization by big businesses, drawing parallels with the co-opting of terms like “vegan” and “keto-friendly” by the food industry. Our host and our guest, Amitay Eshel express concern about the takeover of biohacking by profit-driven interests, citing examples such as the manipulation of peptides and attempts to regulate natural supplements. They also discuss instances where influential figures in the health and wellness space may prioritize financial gain over genuine health benefits, citing the case of NMN and potential conflicts of interest. The conversation touches on the broader issue of businesses claiming ownership of natural substances, leading to increased prices and potential harm to consumers, particularly in the medical and skincare fields.
