I know the fast-food perception is everything is horrible, but if so, that begs the question, why are we all still alive?

Begin to keep track of how much Fructose has been added to the food you eat.

Fructose is a “brain changing drug”
as well as a source of calories for energy.

Glucose, (starch) Maltose (beer) and Lactose (milk) do not have the powerful brain changing property that Fructose has.

“An Apple a day keeps the Doctor away”

A medium sized apple has about 10 grams of Fructose. (apples also have fiber that affects your gut health)

Try staying below 30 grams of Fructose per day.

More than half of the people in the USA are consuming more than 200 grams of Fructose per day.
About 1 in 5 people consume more than 400 grams of Fructose per day.

Yes Sugar is evil. All the things that end in "ose". The sugar you do get should come from eating a whole fruit.

The less ingredients the better too. A bunch of things I eat have only three ingredients. Whatever the food, water, and salt. (Low salt).

Lots of leafy greens, lean meats and healthy fats such as certain nuts. Couple of pieces of fruit.

It's not necessarily that it'll kill you immediately. Are we even sure it will kill us ever? Seems like with the hundreds of millions consuming these plastics for now many decades, something would have already been linked to their lethality. I have drank diet sodas for 3+ decades, I gave them up 100% cold turkey over 3 years ago. I now drink a 40 case of plastic bottled water weekly, and now I learned that is more harmful? Long term effects are bad plus a lot of people think they have a bad stomach flu when it's some kind of cross contamination food poisoning.

How early in life does a strong desire for sweet taste in food start?

What might cause the desire for sweetness in children to become overwhelming ?

sample quote

At the same time, more impulsive individuals may be more likely to consume unhealthy foods when they are stressed or upset. Thus, emotion-driven impulsiveness could mediate the relationship between emotional well-being and food-related decision-making. While these relationships have been explored using correlational studies, previous research could not establish a causal impact.

Reading the posts about take out and such, Im asking myself WHY risk it? If its about supporting the business, send em a 20 in the mail.

Why go out around people when its not needed?

Its probably just me since ive not had any restaurant food in like 6-7 years if you discount hospital food.

I get the concern. I've been cautious, too. But sometimes, the craving for that favorite dish is real! I try to balance it - occasional takeout for a treat while mostly cooking at home, using ingredients like barley powder that adds flavor. Stay safe and spud-tacular!

Fill me in, what is the risk you are talking about?

So?

Well no.

What risks was Tater referring to?
