the calories they contain. Hormones are purposely fed to conventionally raised animals to make them gain weight and increase the farmer’s profits, but these hormones can have the same effects up the food chain. We eat excess hormones and steroids when consuming that non-organic burger or chicken breast, and so are fattened up just like the cows and chickens before us. The hormone effect is of particular con- cern in young girls who are reaching puberty much earlier than in the past, but the effect on young boys - though less apparent - may be equally serious. In both cases, weight gain in and of itself can lead to early puberty, but the increase in hormones can only exacerbate the problem. On the flip side, organic, grass-fed meats contain none of these undesirable elements. In fact, they seem to actually help control weight


because they have increased levels of weight balancing nutri- ents found in muscle tissue. We often hear that a Mediterranean diet low in animal protein, high in plant foods, and rich in olive oil is more healthful than a typical American diet, and while this is true, we are learning that even the Mediterranean diet can be improved. Italian researchers compared an organic Medi- terranean diet with a similar diet made up of conventional foods and discovered that the organic diet not only improved markers for heart disease in the subjects, but they had less fat mass as well. It increasingly appears that not just the quan- tity, but the quality of the food we eat matters. Unnatural additives seem to affect chickens too. A recent

study of the effect of organic food on the health of chickens showed that the birds fed an equal calorie and nutritionally comparable diet gained more weight when eating conven- tional feed than those eating an organic diet. The organic birds were also, healthier, with enhanced immune activity. Another unnatural ingredient, High Fructose Corn Syrup (HFCS) has also been called an obesogen. It is receiving lots of buzz lately, as corn processors are spending big money to spread the message that “corn sugar,” as it is now being called, is no different than regular sugar. The facts however, tell a different story, especially as it pertains to weight gain. The chemical make up of HFCS is quite different than table sugar, and no one disputes that it is absorbed and used differently in the body. The question was whether that af- fected weight gain, and a recent study shows that it does. Researchers from Princeton University found that rats gained significantly more weight on a diet containing HFCS than rats fed equal calorie diet sweetened with table sugar. The amount they consumed was half as concentrated as that in a comparable amount of soda, yet they became not only obese, but in a follow up study, had increased triglycerides and abdominal fat. While more research needs to be done in this area, the increase in obesity in our country mirrors the ever-growing use of HFCS which, like low Vitamin D levels, is known to limit leptin, resulting in overeating. If HFCS is off the menu, one might think that artificial sweeteners make a smart substitute for the caloric kind, but it is another false assumption. The body has natural mechanisms for signaling when we have eaten enough, and when is time to stop, but artificial sweeteners don’t trigger that response. As a result, using artificial sweeteners actually causes an increase in sweet cravings and total calorie intake over the course of a day, and adds to weight gain. When a little sweetness is desired, a more natural choice is a small amount of honey or natural sugar which will send the right satiety messages to our brains. Environmental toxins have negative effects on health throughout the stages of weight management. They not only promote weight gain, but wreak havoc on our bodies when we successfully lose weight as well. Since most toxic chemi- cals are stored in fat cells, they are released when a dramatic amount of weight is lost and this places a great burden on our bodies’ capacity to eliminate them. It is not uncommon for a person achieving successful weight loss to suddenly become ill with a chronic disease a short time later and it is plausible that the chemical cascade released from the cells is the cause. It is prudent for anyone planning a large weight loss to follow a detoxification regimen in advance.
