Oh, I thought it was climate change (snicker).

Get rid of high fructose corn syrup. It is used to fatten cattle and by aliens to fatten humans.

It's not the government that makes me like potatoes, pasta, and rice.

It's the fact that they all taste so damn good!

And yes, white rice tastes better and is less gummy than brown rice, and regular pasta works better with meals than whole wheat.

So if I die because of flavor and texture, then so be it.

I'll never understand why journalists do not link to the original article or abstract. Worse, they fail to post the title of the work. Nature Communications is open access. The entire paper can be found here:

Endocrine disruptors induce perturbations in endoplasmic reticulum and mitochondria of human pluripotent stem cell derivatives

Abstract

Persistent exposure to man-made endocrine disrupting chemicals during fetal endocrine development may lead to disruption of metabolic homeostasis contributing to childhood obesity. Limited cellular platforms exist to test endocrine disrupting chemical-induced developmental abnormalities in human endocrine tissues. Here we use an human-induced pluripotent stem cell-based platform to demonstrate adverse impacts of obesogenic endocrine disrupting chemicals in the developing endocrine system. We delineate the effects upon physiological low-dose exposure to ubiquitous endocrine disrupting chemicals including, perfluoro-octanoic acid, tributyltin, and butylhydroxytoluene, in endocrine-active human-induced pluripotent stem cell-derived foregut epithelial cells and hypothalamic neurons. Endocrine disrupting chemicals induce endoplasmic reticulum stress, perturb NF-κB, and p53 signaling, and diminish mitochondrial respiratory gene expression, spare respiratory capacity, and ATP levels. As a result, normal production and secretion of appetite control hormones, PYY, α-MSH, and CART, are hampered. Blocking NF-κB rescues endocrine disrupting chemical-induced aberrant mitochondrial phenotypes and endocrine dysregulation, but not ER-stress and p53-phosphorylation changes.

BHT is used in many breakfast cereals to preserve taste and appearance and prevent them from turning rancid.

Well, that explains why that 1971 box of Captain Crunch I found in the back of the cupboard still tastes like the day it was made.

Or it could be mutations from the electric shocks they used to convert the adult cells to stem cells.

Yeah but will it hurt the roof of your mouth?

Oatmeal is the only cereal consumed in my home a few times a week.

Dr. C. Esselstyn is the guy that put Clinton on a plant based diet. He fanatically shouts “NO OIL” in one of his youtube presentations.

How do you eat salad and cook veggies with no oil?

Does thew quack bar the First Rapist from sunflower seeds, peanuts and olives? All contain oil. Hopefully he helps shorten Willy's sick existence

[onedoug]

And chicken is increasingly form China and being processed by muslims.

[JohnnyP]

I think he means added oil.

His son Rip (not R.I.P) also has a few videos showing how he put his fellow firefighters on a veggie diet. Looks very good, but I use oil in everything when I cook.

#9. Have you seen the movie “Killer Tomatoes”? If not, do so. You’ll never eat another tomato, but they might eat you.

Without ketchup, life is not worth living.

You want fries with that?

[Patrick Henry Dichotomy]

No more COCO PUFFS?

[Axenolith]

Yea, who would have ever thought blasting abrasive could be so addictively tasty!?

What a pile.....not that i dont care about the effect of chemicals on our systems...but...these are induced pluripotent cells...we dont know if they behave exactly like natural cells...also this test is in the lab...the cells tested are not subject to local biochemical effects which could be seen in whole human bodies...did they test the cells for any other endocrine disruptors...? How did they know the disruptors cause us to eat more? Could disruption make us eat less.....were the lab cells exposed to amounts that exceed commonly encountered blood concentrations in Human tissue?...doesnt sound like a real complete biochemical analysis....wait for the movie... Video at 11....

It’s called sugar. Most breakfast cereals are loaded with it.

cereal is just a vehicle for sugar and fat. cut out the soggy, tasteless middleman and go for it if that's what you want, you're not fooling anyone. donuts.

Why is grammar so hard for journalists? It’s “Chemicals Found Are Making Us Obese”.

You cannot carry fat across the cell walls and store it without glucose in the blood stream driving an insulin response. Common biolological knowledge is very uncommon these days.
