It's Not Food, It's Mind Control

Over the last decade and a half, I have sent hundreds of emails ranting and raving about the industrial food complex and the toxic nature of fast food, microplastics, poor food standards and mass-manufactured, ultra-processed foods.

Every time there is a new research paper, I review it, and every time it confirms what we already knew.

Well… today is no exception friend.

A new study was just published; it showed that ultra-processed foods rewire your brain, editing the areas involved in hunger, reward, and food motivation.

The more ultra-processed foods you eat, the more ultra-processed foods you crave.

We live in a food environment designed to make you sick for a profit. It's built around sugar, refined carbs, industrial oils, artificial flavors, soft textures, satisfying crunches, huge portions, and constant snacking.

You are fighting against a food system that is incentivized to the tune of hundreds of billions of dollars to engineer food that keeps you eating it, regardless of how sick it makes you.

So what can you do?

Try to buy whole foods and cook from scratch at home, avoid fast food restaurants, don’t order in, and be conscious of what you are snacking on.

But pretending it's easy would be dishonest.

Because they have spent billions of dollars engineering chips to shatter just right, and snacks to be perfectly balanced between salty and sweet enough so that you are never full when eating them.

Just do your best, celebrate small wins, and don’t punish yourself when you mess up; after all, you are only human, and sometimes we all crave a little chocolate.

I wish you good health,

P.S. If you are struggling with food cravings and high blood sugar levels, take a look at Glucose Control.

It is designed to support healthy blood sugar balance, glucose metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and improve post-meal satiety.

It will not fix a broken food system. But it can help support your body while you fight back against it.
