  Here’s one pathway, and I’m sure there are more:

  Ultra-processed food are high in carbohydrates, refined sugars, and industrially processed oils. When consumed, they are quickly and easily absorbed by the body causing a rapid increase in blood glucose, easily proven by a CGM. The body responds by producing insulin. High insulin levels result in fat cells stocking lipids and if necessary also the replication of fat cells.

  Fast Food!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon travels overseas⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s very wrong, if only for the simple reason that not all calories are the same. Eating 1000 calories worth of protein will not have the effect as eating 1000 calories of HFCS.

  Please stop parroting this piece of misinformation that was used to sell us ultra-processed foods.

  It’s very difficult to overcome saturated fat because absorption requires bile, and there is a limited amount on the gall bladder. My understanding is that eating more than you can absorb results in it going right through you.

  If I eat a mcdouble and a diet coke, I’m eating much healthier than if I ate a whole rotissery chicken with potato wedges and a glass of apple juice. Calories and reducing sugar intake are the most important things.

  This is highly misleading on many levels, and I strongly urge you to re-evaluate your position on an appropriate diet. For example, nutrition is a biological process that has very little to do with a calorie, which is a measurement of heat energy.

  Khalifa,

  I don’t know who you are. I don’t know why you are asking. If you are looking for closure, I can tell you that I won’t give you any. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let this go now, that’ll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don’t, I will look for you, I will find you, and you know what a Marine Biologist does.

  Regards

  Please, provide an argument instead of platitudes about “study more.” None of your posts contribute anything to do the discussion besides “read Marx.” Some of us already have done that.

  A game that looks like BL4 shouldn’t run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.

  Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

  The association is funded by a number of food multinationals, pharmaceutical companies, and food industry lobbying groups, such as the National Confectioners Association. The Academy has faced controversy regarding corporate influence and its relationship with the food industry and funding from corporate groups such as McDonald’s, Coca-Cola, Mars, and others.

  …

  During fiscal year 2015, the organisation received $1.1 million in corporate sponsorship’s from companies like General Mills, Coca-Cola and Pepsi Co via donations, joint initiatives, and programs.

  Emphasis mine. As always, it’s important to view all organizations in the context of their relationship with other larger and more influential organizations.
