There are two main ingredients to blame.

Most sweet things have high fructose corn syrup in them. Most salty things have monosodium glutamate in them. These are food additives that are supposed to make you crave more. They both make me feel nauseated. Neither one of them is good for you. High fructose corn syrup is chemically altered. It is much harder on the pancreas than real cane sugar. (Watch out for sugar beets. They are working to make them genetically modified.) As a result of the high fructose corn syrup being added to most sweet things, more children are obese, and more are developing type 2 diabetes as children. MSG is a natural flavor enhancer, but it has a negative effect on the digestive system. I get stomach aches and headaches when I eat it.

If you can avoid these two products, it will help a lot.
