Processed food – with all the sugar, salt, fat, and endocrine-disrupting chemicals – may have changed the body weight set point that we all defend and could be the cause of the increased prevalence of type 2 diabetes and obesity. The increasing rise in prevalence of obesity and metabolic disease over the past 50 years has spurred research on the macronutrient content of the food we eat, as well as on the calories we consume and the ingredients in the food we eat. Patients must be counseled to eat “clean.” meaning healthy, fresh, unprocessed foods, for healthy living and avoidance of metabolic dysfunction. https:wb.md/2NNLOcY
