I'd forgotten some of the science behind some of the foods I won't touch...(took physiology, nutrition, human anatomy, and organic chemistry years ago, but apparently, forgot a lot of it).

The documentary reminded me of a lot I'd forgotten.

I've tried to eat whole foods (as much non GMO, organic as I can) for a long time.

I started eating that way, because in classes, we were taught that if the body doesn't recognize an ingredient as food (nutrition or fuel) it stores it in adipose cells (fat cells). The best example given in several classes was artificial sweeteners (the sweeteners created in a lab), even though zero calories, they get stored.

My food mottos became "If there's a commercial for it, I generally don't eat it."
"If it has ingredients I have to Google, I generally don't eat it."
"Anything with more than a handful or two of ingredients, usually goes back on the shelf."

Great documentary, reminded me why I eat clean and whole foods.

I watched another video after this one, also very good at explaining physiological response to food I’ll post it in a new post

I'll have to look it up on my day off. I don't think majority realize how hormones play a part in weight gain/loss, and are responsible for things like a lot of autoimmune disorders, etc.

People hear the word hormones and think testosterone or estrogen... Not thinking of the all the glands and the hormones produced in glands that regulate a lot more than sex drive and how hairy a person is... Sleep, stress, weight, moods, emotions, etc.
