Do you ever get bills in the mail? How does a BIG bill make you feel? The postman delivers all kinds of envelopes to your door and each one contains a message. Imagine that your plate of food also contains several envelopes, each with a message. Your body is amazing because it will obey any message you give it.

For example, if you were to look at the label of Hunt's spaghetti sauce, you would see the words "High Fructose Corn Syrup" (in tiny letters, VERY hard to read because food makers DON'T WANT YOU TO READ THIS! ... but the law states that they must list the ingredients). High fructose corn syrup is like a BIG NASTY BILL because it sends a costly message to your brain to keep eating. It makes you feel chronically hungry.

It's 100 times worse than simple sugar. I could go into the complex biochemistry (blocks a hormone called leptin) but just know that consuming this harmless looking tomato sauce is actually making you feel chronically HUNGRY. Buy sauce without this ingredient.

Food companies are well aware of what ingredients make you EAT MORE of their product. They have spent millions of dollars researching what will do this (to sell more). As long as they can legally get away with it, they will keep adding these chemicals to your food. They get rich and you get sick.
