A great read on how processed food is killing people and the companies behind the processed foods. #healthy

Lots of information in here about food addiction and the science the food industry uses to encourage it with all of their processing. Not a lot of new information for me, but still interesting enough. I listened to the audiobook and it was a quick read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️1/2

Informative book about the science food manufacturers use to get us to buy their products and our own biology. My main complaint about the book is that not once does the author mention the role of insulin resistance in our cravings for sugary foods and how controlling carb intake and balancing it with protein and fiber go a long way to controlling cravings and changing our relationship with food.

If you've read Moss's Salt Sugar Fat, this book covers some of the same ground, but from a different angle. SSF was about how "Big Food" is changing food to make it more desirable. This was more about human biology, how our taste buds, brain, stomach and evolution works for and against us when it comes to eating right. 3 ??? 1/2

I'm just starting this one, so far it's been very interesting. I liked the author's book Sugar, Salt, Fat, plus this is narrated by one of my favorite voices, Scott Brick.

This was a great look at what packaged food companies do to addict you from the author of Salt, Sugar, Fat. He examined several companies including Nestle, Kraft, Coke, and Pepsi. I enjoyed reading about the origins of their forays into diet food through brands like Lean Pockets and Slim Fast. However at the end, he discussed how tastes are changing in light of protein, fiber, and clean foods. I would‘ve loved more on that and a bit less history.

Figs were one of the first things planted when our ancestors began farming. “Fig” has recently been declared the hottest new food additive. Learning stuff like this—in addition to a lot of information related to processed food, the diet industry, and addiction research—is why I enjoyed listening to this #audiobook. It‘s read by Scott Brick.

In our kitchen cabinets, pumpkin spice is made of cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and maybe ginger. Not so in processed food. Its pumpkin spice is simulated through the deployment of as many as 80 elements.
