DESCRIPTION:
Dr. David Kessler, the dynamic former FDA commissioner who reinvented the food label and tackled the tobacco industry, now reveals how the food industry has hijacked the brains of millions of Americans. Dr. Kessler presents groundbreaking research, along with what is sure to be a controversial view inside the industry that continues to feed a nation of overeaters—from popular brand manufacturers to advertisers, chain restaurants, and fast food franchises. For the millions of people struggling with weight as well as for those of us who simply don't understand why we can't seem to stop eating our favorite foo
Although not everyone succumbs, more people of all ages are being set up for a lifetime of food obsession due to the ever-present availability of foods laden with salt, fat and sugar. . Through the evidence of research, personal stories (including candid accounts of his own struggles) and examinations of specific foods produced by giant food corporations and restaurant chains, Kessler explains how the desire to eat—as distinct from eating itself—is stimulated in the brain by an almost infinite variety of diabolical combinations of salt, fat and sugar.

Awesome book, tons of information! Cheyenne This book was the textbook for my nutrition class. Kessler made it a very interesting read that flowed very nicely. There were so many stories and examples in it, that you didn't realize you were learning things. I have recommended it to several of my friends and they all feel the same way. Great read!. Dennis Fernandez said You will never look at food the same again.. Great read and definitely an eye opener! How perverse the food chain is today and how big agro manipulated the market so what we eat we always crave. The True Answer Sherrie I have tried nutrition books, you name it. Nothing has worked for any length of time. This book is the working solution I have found after years of searching for the real problem about why on earth it is that I simply cannot stop this merry-go-round of overeating. This book has given ME THE KEYS to finally experience true on going freedom in my everyday dealings with life, stress and highly palatable foods that surround me every where I go. Thank y
