Something is causing the increase in obesity, diabetes, psychiatric abnormalities and autism. Some of the ingredients put in foods, such as HFCS, are very high on the list as a cause of obesity and diabetes.
Eating too much and exercising too little is generally the cause of obesity. My husband has diabetes - it runs in his family who are of a certain ethnic background where the disease is very common. No one knows what causes autism.
Obesity is people having access to high calorie food with little physical effort. It is nothing new. Plenty of fat people through out history.
The rest is people living when they would have usually died early and having too much time to think that they are special little snowflakes and being allowed to wander out in public.
Back in the day they would have been kicked by a mule and died.
It’s called taking in far more calories per day than burned off.
Also waaaaay too much sugar.
Aspartame is another high profile suspect.
MSG is one I am apparently very sensitive to as well. More and more fast food places are off the list. Headaches and feeling just awful happens at certain ones. I love bojangles biscuits but sadly no more.
Sunday morning I picked up a couple and for an hour, I was down with a killer headache. My wife was fine.
“foods, such as HFCS, are very high on the list as a cause of obesity and diabetes.”
Sedentary lifestyles is high on the list also.
And that "thing" is lack of physical activity. Before, to keep ourselves amused and entertained, it took physical activity, we played outside, now everyone is cooped up inside playing video games.
