I recently experimented with making homemade chips from the cleanest possible ingredients, but they proved just as compulsively overeatable as commercial snack chips.
Yes, sweet poison, we have Professor Yudkins's Great Book "Pure White and Deadly". "Yudkin was way ahead of his time with his idea of nutrition as a broad topic: not just the study of food composition, but the importance of enjoying a variety of fresh foods and the recognition of the psychological and social factors that lead us to choose certain foods and avoid others (in the first link).
Consider also Dr. Robert Lustig's book, "Fat Chance: The Hidden Truth About Sugar, Obesity and Disease." Lustig spent the last 16 years treating childhood obesity. His meta-analysis of cutting-edge research from large cohort studies on what sugar does to populations around the world, along with his own clinical observations, gives him a great deal of credit for the war on sugar.
Lustig said that "the problem with obesity is that the brain isn't seeing the excess weight." The brain can't see it because appetite is determined by a binary system. You're either in anorexigenesis—"I'm not hungry and I can burn energy"—or you're in orexigenesis—"I'm hungry and "I want to store energy." The switch is your leptin level (the hormone that regulates body fat), but too much insulin in your system blocks the leptin signal. About 80% of the 600,000 packaged foods you can buy in the U.S. have added sweeteners and flavorings, which create sugar addiction. Daily fructose consumption has doubled in the last 30 years in the United States. Global sugar consumption has tripled in the last 50 years, while the population has only doubled. It makes sense that the obesity pandemic and the increasing development of chronic diseases and degenerative.
The junk food industry has managed to create an unnatural addiction in people's eating habits, with sugar and carefully tested flavors, developing the pernicious science of addiction to extraordinary levels. Artificial ingredients are used to produce these delicious snacks, confusing and deceiving the body's metabolism. This is in stark contrast to whole foods, with the flavor and texture that nature itself created, which work with the body to satisfy hunger and food cravings. DiNicolantonio stated that sugar is even more addictive than cocaine, making it the most widely consumed addictive substance on the planet, far surpassing nicotine or alcohol. In a study titled "Sugar Addiction: Is It Real? A Narrative Review," an article by researchers James DiNicolantonio, James O'Keefe, and William Wilson, the American professors reported that the consumption of added sugars has effects similar to other drugs, such as cocaine or opium. According to the research, available information has allowed researchers to identify behaviors typical of drug addicts in those who consume large amounts of sugar. Binge eating, anxiety, and withdrawal symptoms have been observed. Consuming sugar produces effects similar to cocaine use, altering mood due to its ability to activate the brain's reward system and pleasure centers, leading to a craving for more sugar. Consumption of sugary drinks had a significant impact on the prevalence of obesity and related metabolic risks, including insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and metabolic syndrome.
Gui, Lustig's observation - "The brain can't see it because appetite is determined by a binary system. You're either in anorexigenesis—"I'm not hungry and I can burn energy"—or you're in orexigenesis—"I'm hungry and "I want to store energy." The Power Control Machines foundational tool is - capture and herd the public with digital messages, usually either or's but each message promotes what the capture and control machine wants, not what actually be needed, what would be proper. Our greatest need is to be able to break through those kinds of either or's so our Brains' can see what it really needs to see! Just Sayn'
And you're right, Just. We also need to address the role of sugar in the immune system; we need to examine phagocytes. Phagocytes are cells that protect the body by engulfing bacterial debris and small foreign particles. The process of phagocytosis differs from autophagy because phagocytes consume large particles, such as bacteria, while autophagy is the absorption and reuse of internal organelles, such as mitochondria. Phagocytes work to destroy particles like bacteria that could infect the host. A research study was conducted to observe how simple carbohydrates decreased the phagocytic capacity of neutrophils. Immediately after consuming simple carbohydrates (approximately one to two hours), there was a significant decrease in the phagocytic index, meaning that the immune function of the phagocytes was suppressed.
Yes, and what is making the conversation difficult is it is condensed, refined sugars or inappropriate condensed sugars like corn sugars. The sugars of whole foods, fruits and vegetables are wrapped up in fibers, have plant compounds for a slow drip feed of sugar the body can deal with - If The Gut is Not Severely Damaged. Also there is the problem of these condensed sugars sourced from crops sprayed with Glyphosate that damages our Gut. Make it Real, Grow it Local and Keep it Real.
This explains a lot. Back in the day when the defense wall of Big Tobacco was falling Legacy Media were reporting how they were "investing" in Processed Foods, as a way to protect their money. It has been more recent years it has become obvious they were more so transferring it's addiction science to Processed Foods. Not much is missed as they apply what triggers our cravings, shuts down the natural body signals of what is enough, what may be good for us or not.
Colors, smells, tastes, textures, the kinds of sugars or salts with the different products seduce us to become grab and gulp eating machines. Then the public is offered med's for such to allow people to still eat junk but lose weight, muscle and...health.
When Foods are provided Locally involves people and social structures where they are very likely to prepare the same locally and commune together Locally. This enhances not just healthy eating, improving physical health, but also mental, emotional health plus the Social Health of the area. Lot's of win, win, wins! Also worth a mention, areas able to withstand temporary disasters, or support other areas who may have. Short, stable, supply lines of Health Building and Dis-Ease Preventing Foods.
Just, it hits the mark: “Colors, smells, tastes, textures, the kinds of sugars or salts with the different products seduce us to become grab and gulp eating machines. Then the public is offered med's for such to allow people to still eat junk but lose weight, muscle and...health.
A good article about sugar that we can extrapolate to artificial sweeteners.--

I’ve studied my DNA versions, which show that I am wired to be a “binger.” There is a potato chip, cooked in grass-fed beef tallow, no added ingredients except a small amount of salt, that absolutely does not trigger my binging. Expensive BUT a little goes a long way & worth it every now & then. https://vandycrisps.com/
