11 Reasons to Ditch Processed Foods The Facts: Processed foods may seem like a deal in terms of convenience, but when you break down the cost it's generally cheaper—and way healthier—to make it from scratch. A popular brand's microwave bowl of chili costs $3.39 and includes harmful BPA chemicals, fake food dye, industrial meat raised…

Fructose spurs overeating!
• Scientists using MRI tests have shown that fructose triggers changes in your brain that may lead to overeating and weight gain. When you drink a beverage containing fructose, your brain does not register the feeling of being full, as it does when you consume simple glucose
• Fructose is also metabolized to fat in your body far more rapidly than any other sugar, and the metabolism of fructose by your liver creates a long list of waste products and toxins, including a large amount of uric acid, which drives up blood pressure and can cause gout
• As a standard recommendation, I advise keeping your total fructose consumption below 25 grams per day. For most people it would also be wise to limit your fructose from fruit to 15 grams or less
• According to a recent study, altering your typical eating habits―such as getting up in the middle of the night for a snack―causes a certain protein to desynchronize your internal food clock, which can have a detrimental effect on your health and well-being

INCREASED RISK OF BLOOD CANCERS YOU CAN AVOID

• The longest ever human aspartame study, spanning 22 years, found a clear association between aspartame consumption and non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma and leukemia in men
• Leukemia was associated with diet soda intake in both sexes
• The study was done out of Harvard but after caving to pressure from industry, a press release was issued that minimized the impact of the study
• The long-term nature of this study is crucial as one of the primary tricks companies use to hide the toxicity of their products is short-term tests of a few weeks. The longest study prior to this one was only four and half months, far too short to reveal any toxicity from chronic exposure
• Another trick, especially with aspartame, is to use animal models and not humans. This is problematic because animals are protected from methanol toxicity, unlike humans
• Another recent study found that compared with sucrose (regular table sugar), saccharin and aspartame caused greater weight gain in adult rats, and this weight gain was unrelated to caloric intake

Why is Aspartame More Toxic in Men Than Women? Aspartame, an artificial sweetener used in diet soda, is associated with increased risk of blood cancer in a long-term human study.
