It had been found by experimenting with lab-rats.
These scientists found that rats who, like all animals, have an innate resistance to over-eating, could not resist the sugary treats.
They could say 'enough' when it came to breads, and 'enough' when fed cheese, but O those do-nuts laced with sugar.
Rats, normally reticent creatures who hug the corners of rooms and like shady places, would rush right to the middle of a brightly lit cage to grab the sugar treats.
They burned out their sub-conscious brakes of restraint when they smelled sugar. In three short weeks they doubled in size. Not only that. When their sugar puffs were taken away, they experienced severe withdrawal symptoms becoming depressed to the point where they sat and shivered and their teeth chattered.
SUGAR ADDICTION! The processed food industry, having found it in rats, proceeded to lace their products with it and feed it to humans to the tune of millions of tons.
With the same results.
From 1990 to 2015 the obesity rates in North America have TRIPLED
Whatever else people may term it, I call that the CRIME OF THE CENTURY and yet NO ONE has held these corporations to account for their actions. In coming posts I will give the reason why.
