Junk food addiction isn’t an accident. It’s part of the design. Food manufacturers use food engineering, artificial flavors, and even texture and sound to make processed foods more appealing. Finely ground “microsalt” and carefully blended natural and artificial flavors are designed to deliver intense flavor and keep you coming back for more.Many ultra-processed foods are engineered to be highly palatable without providing lasting satisfaction, making it easy to keep eating without feeling truly satiated. Manufacturers even research the “bliss point” to optimize taste and encourage repeat consumption.Because these foods are designed to be difficult to resist, portion control can be a challenge. One of the simplest strategies is to avoid buying junk food in the first place and avoid grocery shopping when you’re hungry or tired.DATA: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2161831323013820 https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6550161/ Dr. Eric Berg, DC, Bio:Dr. Berg, DC, age 61, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis and Intermittent Fasting.
