FOOD ADDICTION©
C. Norman Shealy, M.D., Ph.D.
It is highly unlikely that anyone has ever become a food addict from eating real food---vegetables, fruits, nuts and seeds, and modest amounts of natural meat-fish, range fed fowl or beef. What makes food addicting?
Fat
Sugar
All sugar substitutes-aspartame. Sucralose, etc. They fool the brain and aggravate addiction to sweets and lead to obesity
Corn syrup and fructose
Salt
Monosodium glutamate (MSG)
Fast food restaurants and the big food manufacturers-isn't that an oxymoron? Manufacturing food!! If it was not there on the farm, it is not natural! White flour was one of the original MANUFACTURED artificial foods. The loss of fiber and vitamins makes white flour products potentially addicting. That includes most pasta. The fast food chains lace their so-called foods with salt, MSG and fat, as well as sugar and sugar substitutes. All of their bread is junk. The food manufacturers do the same. Just read the labels. Campbell's soups are not naturally um, um, good! They are loaded with MSG. Potato chips and almost all snack foods are loaded with fat and MSG, as well as transfats and other junk, including sugar. ALL POP is junk. Virtually all store bought bread is junk. Incidentally, fruit juices without the pulp of the fruit are loaded with natural sugar but they lack the fiber to moderate that sugar! At home we make our juice from whole fruits. Virtually all peanut butter is junk-loaded with sugar, more salt than necessary to enhance natural flavor; and most have transfats. There is NO margarine that I would eat.
Approximately 80% of everything you eat should be fresh or frozen fruits, vegetables, nuts and seeds. For most people grains other than brown rice and old fashioned oatmeal should be minimized. Meats (all flesh foods) and cheeses should be treated as condiments-four ounces daily. Two eggs a day are super for most people. If you are eating foods according to this recommendation, you will need little salt and little oil, mostly olive oil and a little butter. The single best way to avoid food addiction is to eat this way.
