I Am Reeaally Interested In Nutrition

Ok. Note that starting in 1973 corn syrup began to be used as a sweetener as opposed to can sugar. The adult obesity rate balooned from 14% in the 70's to 30% in the early 2000's to 40% now. In addition about 70% of American adults are now overweight.

Nutrition and hunger go hand in hand. When you give your body all the vitamins in fresh food, then your hunger will decrease. Those who only eat dead food, as in highly processed foods, packaged, junk, will get the calories but no nutrition will be "hungry" filled with calories but no nutrition.

The bushman of the Kalahari, they eat only when they have a kill (hunt). The human brain will switch on alertness when the body needs all its facalties to find a bush dear. We become more alert when in hungry state.

Intermittent fasting can be used to control our blood sugar levels. Those who are constantly putting food in their system will benefit to eat every 16 to 24 hours to level their blood sugar.

Yes. Corn syrup is sure cause of obesity, added with continuing sitting down. People drive hours to work and back, most sit at a desk job, then at night sit and view games or TV.

We can learn from the Bushman to eat only when we are truly hungry.
not even good for your gas tank

@IstillmissEP I have had 27 years of schooling which is plenty. I meet and talk with folks who are into this and research and practice it on my own. Have a BA and MS in physics and an MS in electrical engineering and got 2 A-'s and an A in organic chemistry lecture classes for chem majors as a grad student in electrical engineering.

Is it possible there are other factors that contribute to obesity?
ClanNaFiacaillApWythe · 51-55, M
@CoffeeFirst Oh, of course. That is obvious. The geography and psychology of the people is writ large on the landscape and in their habits. Commuting, having almost anything to do with electronics etc contribute, as well as consuming processed foods, and eating larger portions than in the past all contribute.
