@codrut True. Dr Greger talks about this in one of his books, #HowNotToDiet. Everything is a giant industry, from food to health care, trying to keep us hooked in one way or another, for profit.

“The researchers suggest, 'Individuals who eliminate meat, fish and poultry may cope better with mental stress.'”
-
“If you randomize people to remove all meat and eggs from their diets you get a significant drop in the stress levels within just two weeks, compared to those kept eating fish or the third group who continued to include all animal foods.”

“Repeated massage-like stroking on the 'ventral side of #rats' —that is giving a belly-rubs— also increases weight gain [in rats].”

@Fury oh no!
I’ve been reading DrGreger’s book called #HowNotToDiet right now. I’m learning a lot about food. He’s got a lot of great tips on “effortless” weight reduction. 😘

Re artificial sweeteners such as Splenda etc…
“Ironically, many of the interventional studies of artificial sweeteners in weight gain were executed by animal agribusiness, feeding them to farm animals to fatten them faster. Is there anything they won’t feed the chickens?” 🐓👀

DYK #palmOil is bad for your organ health?
“Half [of the muffins] were made with sunflower oil, and the other half with palm oil, a fat that is saturated, but, like all plant fats, free of cholesterol. Not only did the palm oil muffins result in significantly greater liver and total body fat, they produced twice as much visceral fat, the particularly harmful fat wrapped around our internal organs.”
It fatten you up more than other unsaturated plantBased oils.

“How can just seeing a healthy option push people to make unhealthier choices? The title given to the paper describing these series of experiments is 'Vicarious Goal Fulfillment: When the Mere Presence of a Healthy Option Leads to an Ironically Indulgent Decision.'”
Weird human psychology. For example, when there is a healthy option for the side dish like salad, one tends to choose the unhealthiest like French fries, and not the neutral like baked potato. huh…

“Don't food companies have a vested interest in keeping their consumers healthy? A question such as this reveals a fundamental misunderstanding of the system. A public company's primary responsibility is to reap returns for investors. Consider the fact that the tobacco industry produces products that kill one in two of its most loyal customers. It's not about customer satisfaction but shareholder satisfaction. THE CUSTOMER ALWAYS COMES SECOND.” - Michael Greger, MD
