From the article:

The 10 additives and some of their top uses:

Neotame - a sweetener in candies, drinks, baked goods and more
Aspartame - a sweetener in diet, low-fat and sugar-free items
sodium saccharin - a sweetener in drinks, food and some medications
ponceau 4R - a red food colouring
Sucralose - a sweetener in candy, drinks and chewing gum
benzoic acid - a preservative in food and medications
Cyclamate - a sweetener in beverages, desserts and jams
Acesulfame - a sweetener and flavour enhancer in baked goods
Dehydroacetic acid - a preservative in skincare, food and personal care products
Sunset yellow - a yellow food colouring

The funny thing is, its already obvious to anyone with common sense that eating artificial chemicals like these instead of real food is not going to be good for you.

Ya I just eat honey and types of real sugar but limit it. People are so addicted to sweetness they can't just moderate real sugars they have to mainline IV boatloads of crap.

I don't see stevia on here but its also bad and used effectively as contraception in south America where it originates. If any of your wives eat that shit do some reading as its probably suppressing their fertility.

It doesn't help that sugar is injected into absolutely everything. Even if you want to moderate, the available food is working against you. Basically you have to bag lunch absolutely everything and cannot ever eat out or buy anything other than ingredients.

Our country's food infrastructure is designed to sabotage people's efforts to get and stay healthy.

I think is more about making dirt cheap slop that people still want to eat. The best way to do that is to use a lot of salt, fat and sugar. Add some cheap chemical flavorings, and preservatives to give massive shelf life and you have what most people eat every day.

Lol, its about making it addictive as fuck.

Mammals are predictable creatures.

Yes, many mammals crave salt, fat, and sugar, as these are crucial for survival, though the intensity of the craving can vary by species and physiological need. These cravings are rooted in our evolutionary past, where these substances were scarce and energy-dense. For example, herbivores often seek out salt to supplement their sodium-deficient diets, while a modern brain's reward system can be hijacked by processed foods high in sugar, fat, and salt, leading to an increased desire for them.

I usually sprinkle kosher/sea salt to all my meals, because my partner is salt sensitive I dont use much salt in the actual cooking. But oddly enough, my sodium levels are still low.

Exactly. Food quality is poor and additives are everywhere, aka slop.

If you dont make your own food, its impossible to keep proper limits on sugar/salt intake. And it really doesnt matter if your a active person whos doing hard or even mild labor. Sitting behind a desk is a killer.

I also dont trust artificial sugars since theres alot of research that shows they actually make you hungrier, thus craving more salt and fat lmao. Exactly the kinda evil shit you would expect out of the food corporations.

Yes, artificial sugars may make you hungry because they can disrupt brain signals that control appetite. When your brain tastes something sweet but doesn't receive the expected calories, it can lead to a mismatch, potentially increasing hunger and cravings over time. Some studies suggest artificial sweeteners can trigger a response similar to actual sugar, but because there are no calories, the body doesn't get the signal of fullness, leading to continued hunger and potential increased food intake.
