Scientists from the University Of Kansas have recently published research in the journal Obesity that attempts to define those foods under the term hyper-palatability. While hyper-palatability has been used for years in relation to foods, this paper is the first to provide a concrete definition.
The researchers found that combinations of certain types of ingredients create hyper-palatability: combinations of fat and sodium (hot dogs, bacon); combinations of fat and simple sugars (cake, ice cream, brownies); and combinations of carbohydrates and sodium (pretzels, popcorn). Researchers assigned quantitative values to those ingredients, then analyzed 7,757 food items in the U.S. Department of Agricultures Food and Nutrient Database for Dietary Studies. Their findings: 62% of foods in the database met the definition of hyper-palatability, including 49% of all items labeled as low/reduced/no sugar, fat, sodium, and/or sugar. Thats right: Half of the seemingly better-for-you foods out there are still designed to make us overeat.
Lead researcher Tera Fazzino says the definition of hyper-palatability could change the way we approach nutrition and diets. Rather than cutting out all desserts or all chips, for example, consumers might only need to avoid those that meet the nutritional definition of hyper-palatability

The Law of Unintended Consequences strikes again!
“Stevie, for the last time, STOP eating your Frosted Flakes in the bathroom!”
> Clearly, the manufacturers add sugar to enhance the flavor. <
Ive read that pizza shops routinely add sugar to their pizza dough. It makes the kids happy.
Mom: What do you want for dinner?
Kids: We want pizza! Order us a pizza!
And here I am thinking I was the only one who did that on occasion! :)
I'm 55, in good shape, eat out almost never and cook from scratch.
Since menopause, I feel like I'm thinking about food and what I'm going to eat next ALL THE TIME.
WTH?
Yeah, but we caught a lot of catfish and bream with dough balls of Wonder bread. Hotdogs worked well, too.
As a kid, I hated liver & onions. Now it’s a favorite.
Hated Swiss steak & Salisbury steak too, because they sure didn’t look or taste like sirloin steak.
And meat loaf? Most kids don’t like onions.
There’s no such thing as food too tasty, a tv screen too big, a woman too beautiful, a Harley too loud, ...
Ezekiel bread still has carbs but it balances it with fiber. I love Ezekiel bread.
I highly recommend the book The Dorito Effect. Food tastes so good because...chemicals. “Natural flavoring” on the label...chemicals. There is little natural, fully nutritious food left. It’s ALL frankenfood at this point. Very depressing.
I've heard that even with Ezekiel Bread blood sugar will spike. You can use Almond flour instead of wheat flour.
Ezekiel bread has a very low glycemic index of 36.
And it’s nutritious.
Indeed. Going Keto has opened my eyes to a lot of things. I still enjoy my chocolate treats, I just take some Heavy Whipping Cream, 100% Cacao Powder and Swerve Confectionary, and whip it up, and throw in some frozen strawberries, frozen Avocado bits and Macadamia Nuts, and I have a quick-and-dirty Fat Bomb.

But still, my problem is that I’ll eat the whole loaf in one sitting, LOL.
Plenty of recipes here:

I have no idea if any are any good.
Now the one “cheat” I allow myself, is Rebel Ice Cream. I limit myself to a pint a week.
I didn’t know that this was news.
What’s changed over ‘Boomer lifetimes is that we patronize fast food palaces routinely and portion sizes are much larger.
When we were kids Coke came in 6 oz bottles and it was a treat.
McDonald’s fantasized about selling a million (small) burgers from its red & white striped joints with the giant yellow arches.
Probably the majority of us ate dinner at home cooked by stay at home moms, and it wasn’t a constant stream of sugars and fats and salt.
It takes time and effort to shop for fresh ingredients and cook at home. I wonder how many do these days.
you sound like you just raided my fridge
