Junk Food More Dangerious Then War, Femine And Genocide

Food in the end, in our tradition, is something holy. It’s not about nutrients and calories. It’s about sharing. It’s about honesty. It’s about identity. ~ Louise FrescoYou may already know that junk food is bad for your health, but you may not realize how bad it can be. A new study from the School of Medical Sciences at Australia’s University of New South Wales points to profound brain changes that junk food causes, making a junk food habit “more deadly than war, famine, and genocide”.Say what? Yep, the food war is real, and though the UNSW study was conducted on rats, the brain changes observed matter to us humans. As mammals we share similar brain functioning in the orbitofrontal cortex, the part of our gray matter responsible for sensing and evaluating the pleasurable aspects of food.Makers of junk food know it is highly addictive, but the UNSW study proves unequivocally that junk food alters behavior by causing near-permanent changes in the brain’s reward circuiting, an alteration that can trigger obesity.The study abstract concluded:“We observed that rats fed a cafeteria diet for 2 weeks showed impaired sensory-specific satiety following consumption of a high calorie solution. The deficit in expression of sensory-specific satiety was also present 1 week following the withdrawal of cafeteria foods. Thus, exposure to obesogenic diets may impact upon neurocircuitry involved in motivated control of behavior.”While mammals developed a natural trigger over our evolutionary history which prevents us from over-eating, a phenomenon termed “sensory-specific satiety,” the consumption of junk food overrides this natural ‘kill’ switch that allows us to regulate the calories we consume.Junk food consumption also causes mitochondrial dysfunction and tissue inflammation, which leads to a host of other diseases. Perhaps most troubling, though, is that these fake foods also mess with our internal motivation and reward system – which causes us to seek more nutrition-less junk. It’s like programming a time bomb and just waiting for it to blow.Here Is What Happened In The StudyIn the UNSW study, rats were fed a standard junk food diet, complete with cookies, cakes, biscuits, and other junk foods for two weeks. Another group of rats were fed a ‘standard lab chow’ diet. They were then observed under Pavlovian conditions, when a sound cue informed the rats it was time for their next serving. You can guess what happened.The ‘junk-food rats’ ate until they were glutinously full, obese, and ill, and the ‘healthy –diet rats’ stopped eating naturally – when they were full, and not over-stuffed.What’s most interesting though is what happened to the ‘junk food rats’ once they were returned to a normal diet. They still had the tendency to overeat. Their brains were literally trained to eat too much, and held that habit even after environmental factors were changed.Dr. Amy Reichelt, lead author of the UNSW study says:“As the global obesity epidemic intensifies, advertisements may have a greater effect on people who are overweight and make snacks like chocolate bars harder to resist.”Read More @http://naturalsociety.com/study-junk-food-deadly-war-famine-genocide/?utm_source=Natural+Society&utm_campaign=d37528e2b7-Email+676%3A+2%2F17%2F2015+-+junk+food+war+famine&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_f20e6f9c84-d37528e2b7-324155573

I think it is safe to say that more people died from eating junk , dead animal diet than all the wars combined in last decade alone. folks are dropping dead like flies , thanks to their addiction to high fat , full of cholesterol and protein overload meals...................and I wouldnt blame amerikan stupidity here, rather ignorance ..........................

Most of the junk food joints are from America so other countries NEED TO BAN THEM AND SEND THEM BACK TO AMERICA ...then can keep their junk including their junk government and leaders who don't give a damn what they eat

  Don't worry. Soon there will be total war between Europe/US and Russia where we'll all be back to potato and corn-rations only, for many many years to come. That ought to fix all problems with unhealthy food for everyone. ;)
