Just finished an article about the processed food industry that blew my mind. GLP-1 use apparently makes ultra processed foods less tasty, its users discovering much to their surprise that they’d rather have fruit than a Twinkie. Article then gives many examples of the lengths that food product developers take to increase profits/ sell more calories and I’m both impressed and disgusted simultaneously. It’s no secret that food can be manipulated into becoming more addictive but when you read concrete examples of what these food scientists do with say, Cheeto development, it just hits differently. Also was surprised to learn that Heinz owns Weight Watchers and that the Atkins diet brand was purchased by the owner of Cinnabon and Carls Jr. https://www.nytimes.com/2.. #Biohackers Connect #Gut Health #The FoodTech Lab
