How ultra-processed foods, created for our convenience, are sabotaging our guts.
The Fear Of Missing Out gets us eating things we shouldn’t. Society trains us to eat whatever garbage tastes best, and it’s engineered to be addictive.
You are eating glue! Foods that have the consistency of play-dough, are sticky like white glue, and plug us up like we ate papier mache.
Engineered processed foods can be as addictive and harmful as street drugs. In conjunction with life events, they can cause depression and anxiety. Withdrawal symptoms similar to street drugs.
Eating whole foods signals the body to release hormones and secretions to aid digestion and health. Processed foods bypass these steps.
