Can You Lose Weight Easy In Spite of All of the Food Supply Problems?

This editorial is written for the huge number of people who have unsuccessfully tried to diet and if successful could not keep the weight off. This information will explain to you the uphill battle you have been waging.

Modifications in our basic food supply have been allowed by our government through food industry lobbyist efforts. These modifications were made to increase efficiency and profits for the food industry rather than concern for the consumers’ short and long term health.

It looks like every new authority has a fresh and innovative method to lose weight easy. Their promise is, if you do it their method, you will take the weight off and keep it off.

None of the experts look as if to have an answer as to why we as a nation have become so obese. Maybe the answer is not quite as complex as everyone seems to think.

It is possible our problem with being overweight has been hiding in plain sight? What has drastically changed in the last generation? It requires thousands of years for our genetic DNA to change, so in essence, we are still genetically the same people we were 50-100 years ago.

The Modification In the Vegetable Food Production

In the last 100 years, the major alteration in our civilization has been the change of our agrarian society into our industrialized way of life. Farmers that had once produced their own food for themselves and their families have relocated to the cities and now work in the factories. The food and livestock production have changed from the small farm methods to that of the gigantic Agribusiness.

In the 1930s an acre of corn produced 50 bushels. Both Great Britain and the United states were warned their soils were being exhausted of minerals and nutrients. Crop rotation to preserve the value of the soil was considered extremely necessary. With the change over to the large mega farms the methods were changed to augment efficiency. Since the 1960s, corn yields of over 200 bushels per acre are now not that uncommon.

These unbelievable increases have been achieved at the cost of the minerals and other nutrients in the soil. Just because you have purchased an organic farm product, grown with no use of pesticides or chemical fertilizer, you are not assured that the item has been produced in soil whose nutrients and minerals have not been depleted.

Your body will have expected cravings for some of these individual nutrients as well as some of the minerals. It is quite conceivable that an individual might consume substantially more calories to satisfy these urges

As you will see in the subsequent information, the change in cattle production has some other very important ramifications.

The Modification In The Livestock Production

The same types of modifications to increase production and profits that occurred in vegetable production have occurred in meat production. These modifications have added health implications than the previously discussed produce production.

Previously, cattle was produced by allowing the animals to graze on free range. Presently they are produced in the feed lot, being fed corn and other by-products. The alteration in the beef quality is nothing short of astonishing.

These animals were intended to graze. When cattle is grain fed, their intestinal tracts become far more acidic. The pathogenic E. coli bacteria become accustomed to this higher acidity and can then no longer be destroyed in the human gastro intestinal tract. This is responsible for the heightened prevalence of E. coli 0157:H7 illness. These acid resistant bacteria can now kill people who eat an undercooked hamburger.

In addition to the elevated occurrence of E coli, this unnatural feeding causes the animal's health to deteriorate. In order to maintain the animal’s healthy in these crowded and unsanitary conditions, the livestock production uses 70% of all antibiotics that are used world wide. To amplify the rate of weight gain in cattle production, six basic hormones are used. Three are naturally occurring-Oestradiol, Progesterone and Testosterone-and three are synthetic-Zeranol, Trenbolone, and Melengestrol.

With no regard for the amount of scientific concern, the United States and Canada continue to tolerate growth promoting hormones in cattle. Since 1988 the European Union, has prohibited the importation of hormone treated beef, and as such has banned beef imports from the United States.

When you now consume lingering amounts of these hormones, they change the body's fragile hormone balance. These hormones were originally designed to cause rapid weight gain in the livestock and would be anticipated to do the same for you.

The bacteria that possibly be consumed are now more toxic but are also antibiotic resistant owing to the antibiotic usage to preserve the animal’s health.

The antibiotics that might be consumed make a drastic change in your intestinal tract interfering with the normal balance between the good and bad bacteria. Nutrient absorption and digestive problems can be expected.

As if the earlier discussed changes in the cattle production are not bad enough, the previous meat production methods resulted in meat products being anti inflammatory. The present method of production produces a product that is very inflammatory. The epidemic of inflammatory illnesses, rheumatoid arthritis, shoulder tendinitis or bursitis, gouty arthritis, and polymyalgia rheumatica have all been growing in recent years.

Last, but not least, the final meat products now are lacking in CLA. Conjugated Linoleic Acid is an ingredient that helps control the distribution of fat to lean body tissue.

Summary

1. The absents of nutrients and minerals in our current produce production interferes with our body's appetite control mechanism possibly causing overeating.

2. CLA has been revealed to change the ratio of lean body weight to fat gain. If you lose 50#s and regain the weight, while having adequate amounts of CLA, 75% of your regained weight will be lean tissue. If you have too little amounts of CLA, only 50% of the regained pounds will be in lean body weight. A yoyo type of weight loss and regain will not only leave you at the same weight, but your body will have deteriorated in regard to your body composition.

3. Any change in your body's hormonal system will probably have ramifications in the stabilization of your body weight.

4. Any lingering ingestion of antibiotics will have major impacts on your intestinal tract and your digestion system. The disturbance of your good bacteria in regard to the bad bacteria could manifest itself as acid reflex or worst yet non-absorption of the required nutrient. As is the case in the newest method of weight loss, good health must begin in the colon.

5. The pathogenic E. coli bacteria become accustomed to this higher acidity and can then no longer are destroyed in the human gastro intestinal tract. This is responsible for the heightened prevalence of E. coli 0157:H7 illness.
