Secrets of the Food Industry

Dr. Isabel MD Inspires

In today’s coaching session, I’m going to talk to you about the secret the food industry does not want you to know.

Now, in our brain is this thing called the “nucleus accumbens”, which is our addiction center. Things like tobacco, alcohol, caffeine, sugar, cocaine, and gambling stimulates the nucleus accumbens, and this happy hormone called “dopamine” comes out. Dopamine makes us happy. When the levels of dopamine go down, we get sad.

What happens when it goes down? We go, “I need some more of my drug,” and that becomes an addiction.

Research has shown that if you give rats an option between sugar or cocaine, guess which one they’ll pick? SUGAR. Rats will pick sugar because it stimulates more dopamine and more release. That is why sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine.

I want you to understand that your desire for sugar in any of its many different forms is not lack of willpower but it’s because of the science behind it.

we are addicted to sugar. That’s just the way it is and the food industry knows it and they are taking advantage of it.

You see, the food industry is very tricky. They have engineered food to make us addicted. And there are taste institutes with craving expert scientists that are figuring out the bliss point of certain foods.

Those food industry companies aren’t sitting down next to somebody on dialysis, 8 hours a day, 3 days a week, getting dialysis just to stay alive for one more day. So, shame on them.

Also obesity has been apparently common nowadays and it is not because people want to be obese. It’s because their bodies are starving for real food, real nutrition. They’re going to keep on eating so they’re going to get fatter because they’re not eating the right food. Plus, obesity is also due to food addictions.

So you’ve got to take back your health. You cannot rely on the government, the medical community, or the food industry to help you out. Learn how to not eat packaged food—nothing that says healthy on it.

When was the last time you saw an apple which says healthy on it? If it says “healthy”, it’s most likely not healthy for you. Stay away from gluten-free foods. It’s a craze around the world now, and guess what? Yes, the food industry knows it.

They’ll say “gluten-free” but then there’s junk and sugar in there. So don’t eat anything that says “gluten-free”. Just don’t eat bad food.

You want to make sure you only eat food that goes from the ground to the table. Eat food that your great, great grandmother would’ve eaten, recognizes and still would recognize.

Now that you know the secret the food industry does not want you to know, you are FULLY equipped.

So let’s go out there. Let’s make a difference. Let’s love unconditionally and let’s forgive frequently.
