    Very interesting article. "Fatty foods" I assume mainly means foods fried in the wrong kind of oils, or fat dense meats like pork, and depending on how prepared, chiken and beef.

    "Processed foods" is just about every food in a can, or frozen entres, or mylar bag or boxes at the grocery story. That sounds like about 99 percent of what is on the shelves at the store.

    I was living on frozen dinners and canned chili and such for quite a while. I gained quite a bit of weight though I was not frequenting fast-food places. I started having urticaria (hives) after eating and the foods I was eating were the same foods that I had consumed for many years (Hormel canned chili as one example). I trued to observe what I may be allergic to and came to conclusion it was annato, natural yellow dye in cheeses, as well as Red Dye 40 and all the other yellow, green, red and blue synthetic food dyes. But still that did not explain my sudden allegies to all of these things which I had been consuming for years.

    I wrote to my friend, Bill Sardi, health journalist. He told me I should read up on "leaky gut syndrome" and suggested I take Betaine HCL with meals as well as Vitamin A. Also advised to move to natural non processed food.

    I did follow his advice and have not had a hives attack in a long time.

    I just relate this story to indicate my conclusion that long-term consuming of processed foods can not only make you fat but can cause "leaky gut syndrome" and horrible attacks of hives that last about two hours and totally prevent one from taking a chance of eating out at any restaurant, since even the best of restaurants use processed foods.

    1. Great comment. I agree with this article as well, and the fatty foods are certainly processed garbage as the article mentions — it pays to eat well.

  3. Amazing research thanks

    look up Dr Russel Blaylock, he has some good vido-ed talks that show up on the web.

    diet also causes a lot of crime, mental illness, and many of the childhood disorders, that now get the children hooked on dr given mental drugs.

    and all of these problems are even before considering what altering food in the form of GM does, or even worse what eating food with agent orange, or roundup on it.

    if the mice studies are right within the next 2 generations most of the GM food eating countries will be diseased, close to unable to breed, and all so 2 corporations can control the food supply. welcome to hell.

      Responding to Martin – great that you mentioned Dr. Russel Blaylock. I’m finding his book Excitotoxins, The Taste that Kills to be very informative and easy to follow. Also, Truth in Labeling has information and references to studies which explain how junk foods/MSG/Aspartame other additives cause damage to the hypothalamus and obesity. And, they can help you figure out how to eliminate MSG and other additives from your diet.

  6. Good article but you failed to mention that free glutamate (MSG and all the MSG substitutes) added to our processed food is primarily what is behind this. Not only does it cause all these problems with the endocrine and nervous system but it allows manufactures to use cheap ingredients. The addition of MSG makes your brain think it tastes good and is good for you. The FDA caters to the big food corporations. It does not protect the consumer.

    Wheat, gluten and milk and dairy (lactose) intolerance can also contribute to leaky gut syndrome. Brown rice is good for the health in a diet and can be sprouted.
