"They're putting stuff in our food ..."
While channel surfing I recently came across yet another infomercial by
ex-con (check forgery, I believe) Kevin Trudeau (he began his tv infomerical career selling a memory system). The new infomercial deals with his new book about cures which the government (he's had run-ins with the US Government's Food and Drug Administration) is supposedly keeping from the American people. Normally I wouldn't give Trudeau two seconds of my time but in his new infomerical he mentioned something which intrigues me and which I've heard alleged by others: namely, that US food growers and manufacturers are adding (knowingly, I assume) substances in their products which themselves may largely account for the upsurge in serious obesity in the USA. Unfortunately, in the infomercial Trudeau doesn't specify what these substances are, but they're supposedly enough to make those who consume foods which contain them become "addicted" to the foods. Is anyone here familiar with this allegation? Believe it? If so, what ARE these substances which supposedly are making US food be avoided by people in foreign countries? Growth hormones? Chemicals? What? |

Besides High Frucose Corn Syrup, you could consider Trans-Fats as an
unhealthy and habit forming additive. Salt is seemingly everywhere, and that is because salt is quite cheap and it affects the taste texture of foods benefitially in a number of ways. For some people, the high sodium contributes to high blood pressure, and that has been known for a long, long time.

He's full of ****. Google his name and the book title, you'll find it's
a bunch of crap. It's one huge commercial for his subscription based website. I am so ashamed that I have to sell this piece of garbage. *I work for a teleservices company that handles infomercial calls* Ignore him, he's a moron. |
