Damn. If only we could find a way of eating which controlled all these pesky ups and downs and took away the cravings for calorie-rich binges
We have found a way. Its called LOW GI
There just hasn’t been as much sugar in our food, ever in the past, as there is today.
Historically, even fruit wasn’t as sweet as it is these days.
But in the era of moderm agriculture, the development of fruit to grow ever sweeter produce has been done in the name of satisfying the inbuilt human desire for sugar / sweet things.
In the reading I have found, it is suspected that humans have developed a tendancy towards things that are sweet, as this can be used as an indicator as to whether a plant is safe to eat.
IIRC, if a plant is sweet tasting, its usually safe to eat.
So, today, we have this inbuilt green light for sweet things.
Conjecture about the historical development of our digestive system aside.
Big Companies know that in order to sell shite, they need only make it sweet, yadda, yadda.
Well, thats my take on it.
