@drmarkhyman: The shocking truth about your favorite foods ☝🏼 In the 1980s, tobacco giants Philip Morris and R.J. Reynolds acquired major food companies including Kraft, General Foods, and Nabisco, the same companies behind Oreos, Kraft Mac & Cheese, and countless pantry staples. Here's the timeline: - 1985: Philip Morris bought General Foods, RJ Reynolds bought Nabisco - 1986: Philip Morris acquired Kraft When Philip Morris bought General Foods in 1985, it installed tobacco executives at the food company. Many junk foods today were made and marketed by Big Tobacco, bringing the same addictive playbook from cigarettes to your dinner table. Here's what these ultra-processed foods do to your body: - They're engineered with the perfect combination of sugar, salt, and fat that triggers dopamine release in your brain, the same reward pathway activated by addictive substances. - These foods bypass your natural satiety signals, making it nearly impossible to stop eating. - This was a strategic shift from one addiction industry to another. The same companies that spent decades perfecting nicotine addiction suddenly controlled America's food supply. Think about that next time you can't stop at just one cookie… VIDEO CREDIT: foodfightusa on YouTube
