What is as addictive as cigarette? - the processed food (not sex or shabu) And the three major components: sugar, fat and salt are the major culprit. The processed food is a $l trillion market, and the addiction coming from these taste/addiction enhancer has driven up the sales to this level...
The addiction to the processed food will result in more diabetics, more obese people in USA, resulting in 246,000 deaths.. The stat for diabetes has risen from 17.5 million in 2007 to 22.5 million in 2013 The bill for treating diabetics is $ 245 billion.
Processed food increases risk of cancer from 38% to 67% (for pancreatic cancer)
Something must be done about this addiction.
Mercola suggests that only 10% be budgeted for processed food.
Other suggestion:
l. Plan your meals;
2. Become resourceful
3. Avoid food waste
4. Go for organic raw, organic food: eggs, berries, avocados that are also cheap

Fats and germs - formerly bad stuff are good after all
Live healthy and long
From Dr. Mercola Archives
Two items: fatty foods and germs were considered bad before. (Myths)
Fats as the cause of heart disease from the findings of Dr. Ancel Keys in l953. Before the study came out, only l/100 Americans were obese. Now that number is increasing. The real culprit is transfat and hydrogenated oil. US literature made coconut oil as unhealthy. (This caused the almost collapse of coconut industry in the PHL. Now the buko juice news that it is better than sports drink caused the buko price to jump up to P20.00@ in Laguna, from mere P5.00 two years ago.
The other is the germs is bad. But germs from fermented food improve gut culture. And so with yogurt, kefir, They also improve GAPs.
What are the other foods good for the health:
l. Raw eggs
2. Fermented vegetables --kimchi, atchara
3. Kefir and other fermented milk
4. Sardines
5. Avocado - know more about the rest of healthy foods (Avocado is cheap in the PHL and aplenty)
