According to the latest research by Michael Moss, Laureate Pulitzer Prize, food industry giants deliberately harm human health, producing attractive but truly destructive Food.
It’s no secret that when eating sweet, fatty and salty foods, the same brain zones are activated as when taken drugs. We enjoy these products and at the same time we inflict damage on ourselves. And as with drugs, than the more sweet, fatty and salty a person consumes, the stronger it depends on high-calorie nutrition.
Food technologists skillfully calculate the most attractive for consumer ratio of these components. On the harm received thus, of course, they know the products, but who is it care about?
Sugar
As a result of experiments conducted on rats, it turned out that sugar literally drives them crazy. To feast on condensed milk or chocolate, animals even neglected the instinct of self-preservation. IN in particular, electric shocks did not deter them from the desired “delicacy”. Alas, a man who has been seated for a sweet little different from laboratory rats.
Fat
Unlike sugar, having a “bliss point”, fat in food You can add as many as you like. He makes the dishes enjoyable for touch, causing at the same time excellent taste sensations. The cooked food and convenience foods we like the more than more fat in them.
Especially insidious is the combination of sugar and fat. If in fatty foods add sugar, a person will think that fat in food less, while the pleasure remains. Knowing this food industry monopolists produce saturated foods fat and seasoned with sugar. As a result, food becomes more more seductive and even more harmful.
Salt
Sodium helps increase blood pressure. However for major producers most importantly profit, but because we we consume sodium twenty times more than is permissible.
Obesity
Disappointing facts leads Michael Moss. So, obesity is among the French since 1997 increased from 8.5% to 14.5%. In China residents overweight for the first time became more than normal. Number Mexicans have tripled over the past 30 years. AND this trend is observed in all developed countries. Lead in this terrible “race” of the United States, where obesity has spread to youth and even children. Unfortunately, every year this process only aggravated.
Meanwhile, food moguls are looking for new ways for their own enrichment. Michael Moss called the plot a conspiracy against of humanity, and maybe this is just our madness? ..
