30 worst foods in America...and why we can't resist
Posted on July 18, 2009
Check out this link to Men's Health magazine. The editors provide the alarming fat, sugar and salt content for the biggest offenders to our diet. http://eatthis.menshealth.com/1.php.
But why are these foods so hard to resist? Former FDA Commissioner David Kessler explores the answer to that question in his new book, "The End of Overeating: Taking Control of the Insatiable American Appetite." I just started reading this book, but in the first chapter he discusses how the food industry makes foods more palatable by increasing the levels of fat, sugar and salt to exponential levels. And it's that combination that makes the foods that are bad for us, so irresistable.
What fast food do you find irresistable? Do you know how much fat, salt and sugar are added?
