Fifty percent of American food products are manipulated with synthetic taste enhancers states an article in "Ideas & Discoveries" magazine; "The Deceived Sense of Taste."
Neurogastronomy is a fairly new research on artificial flavoring in the many eatables consumed across the globe. American flavor industries generate nearly $1.5 billion a year tweaking the tastes of many foods. Artificial flavors are much cheaper then using natural flavors that come from various plants and animals. Chocolate alone has 500 different flavors claims the German Research Center for Chemistry.
Food, whether it's all natural or enhanced has five basic traits. All five things affect our taste buds as well as the brain. Food may be salty, full of protein (umami), sugary, acidic (sour) or potentially poisonous. (bitter)
Food manipulation confuses the brain, and if abused may cause serious heath problems such as Alzheimer's Disease, Osteoporosis, (weakening of bones) and even cancer, neuroscientist Achim Peters said.
If you notice yourself getting sick a lot, I'd advise analyzing the products in the foods you eat most often. If those foods contain things such as Glutamate, Aspartame (artificial sweetener), Fructose, Citric acid or Phosphoric acid, healthier foods just my be your ticket to feeling better.
If your serious about getting into shape and losing weight, or keeping your present weight, it's a great idea to eliminate artificial sweeteners. Artificial sweeteners are perhaps the brains most menacing nemesis in synthetic food products. Fake sweeteners such as Fructose are contributing factors to obesity. Fructose satisfies the sweet sensations of the tongue and even our bellies, but the brain thinks it needs more, which it doesn't, hence a reason Fructose can lead to over eating. Fructose may also cause high blood pressure, diabetes, stroke and heart attacks.
Citric acid, commonly found in ketchup, sodas, ice tea, sour candies, jam and pasta is a likely contributor to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's Disease along with Multiple Sclerosis. Citric acid may also exacerbate existing health conditions.
I'm not writing this blog to arouse fear of foods, just learning about this stuff myself. While at the Oakland Airport in October awaiting my departure to tangible paradise, Hawaii, I purchased "ID" magazine, it's a magazine subscription Santa Claus got for me for Christmas!
Conspiracy theory number 'two', the savage huge money makers in the food industry are in cahoots with the medical industry to cause diabetes and other diseases, so more medicine can be manufactured and sold.
