Some breakfast cereals have more sugar in them than do chocolate bars, containing over 50 percent sugar. The love for sweetness is so great it makes sugar the best addicting drug we have today. Overly processed food contains lots of sugar for the following reasons: (1) sugar masks the bland taste of overly processed foods which tend to remove the natural flavors of the original raw food; (2) it is addicting. If there are two competing pea soups made by different companies, the one with the most sugar in it will sell the best.

While it helps to understand all this science, the most important point to remember is that Western staples that are highly processed or high in amy-lopectin (bad starch) such as white bread, white potatoes, bakery goods (cookies, pies, cakes), and fat- or protein-rich sweets (jelly beans, chocolate bars) are the biggest insulin culprits. Whole foods, or foods in their natural state, such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and other unprocessed foods, tend to have low GI scores and induce low insulin levels (see figure 2.7).

Younger citizens prefer their caffeine in chocolate bars and in colas served in cups the size of small buckets. For the ailing, there is caffeine in nonprescription medications for headaches, weight loss, and menstrual cramps.

During World War II, American soldiers in heavy combat were often rationed three chocolate bars each day as their only source of food. Dark or semisweet chocolate is the best form because it contains more flavonoids. But before you go wild eating chocolate, recall that Aristotle said, "Everything in moderation." Too much wine or too much chocolate will throw your body out of balance. If you snack on chocolate, try to find dark types that contain 70 percent cocoa, and make sure that sugar or butter fat is not the first ingredient listed.

But their original diet has now been replaced by a modern menu that's more likely to include white bread and chocolate bars than beans and maize. Today, the Pimas have the highest rate of adult diabetes in the world. Part of the reason is the Pimas' inherited tendency to accumulate body fat and overproduce insulin, the hormone that converts food into energy. As long as they ate their traditional diet, which was low in fat and high in complex carbohydrates, the Pimas stayed slim and their blood sugar remained normal.

Gathering Globs of Cholesterol As an emulsifying agent, lecithin is used in chocolate bars to keep the fat from separating. While that doesn't give you license to go on a Godiva binge for the sake of getting your choline, this fat-gluing action seems to help lower both cholesterol and blood pressure in people taking lecithin supplements, say researchers. "I don't advocate that everyone start mixing lecithin into their orange juice in the morning, but there is evidence that choline causes cholesterol to emulsify," says Dr. Janson.

She went to the grocery store for milk and ended up buying pastries and chocolate bars and ice cream. Back home she laid them out on the table, determined to eat until she felt better. But two bites into the Hershey's bar, she burst into tears and couldn't eat anymore. "I'm even a failure at bingeing!" she wailed. Sally could not binge. It wasn't physically possible for her anymore because she was too well fed. There was no empty vat to fill. She'd filled it in by eating so well every day for ten months. So Sally was left with her feelings.

Constant Craving: What Your Food Cravings Mean and How to Overcome Them Doreen Virtue, Ph.D. See book keywords and concepts

Cynthia explained that she usually binged on crunchy, crispy chocolate bars. Crunchy textures often signal frustration or anger in the love area, so I asked Cynthia the next logical question. "How's your love life?" "Fine," she replied, with a deadpan expression. I noticed that her mouth twitched as she said the word. Bingo! Cynthia's cravings were a creation of her own denial. When she told me her love life was fine, I knew I had zeroed in on the right issue. I've never met a chocolate craver yet who was completely happy with his or her love life.

Other people go through "food kicks," craving peanut butter one week, blue cheese dressing the next week, and chocolate bars the following week. Neither situation is an accident nor a coincidence. If your emotional issue remains unaddressed, your food craving will remain constant. If your emotional issues change, so will your food cravings. The only parallel between both the constant and the changing food cravings is this: there is some underlying emotional issue crying out for your attention. By "emotional issue," I don't necessarily mean a deep psychological matter requiring therapy.

Of course, candies and chocolate bars fall into the "unwanted" category. These are probably foods that you eat at nearly every meal, so you may be wondering what's left. As a rule of thumb, I'd advise that you stick to what nature has provided by eating whole foods such as fresh vegetables. Based on the same principle, whole-grain pastas and breads are better to eat because the grain is unrefined, and brown rice is better than white rice. These foods have fiber—among other good nutrients—and the fiber helps slow the release of sugar into the bloodstream.

When we hear the term "healthy eating," we think deprivation—no more Big Macs or chocolate bars or Mom's macaroni and cheese. We think boring—meals of bland skinless chicken or flounder broiled without butter five nights a week, with no sauces or dressing or taste, and requiring more time and attention than our jam-packed schedules allow. Wrong! What healthy eating experts are actually advocating is not the elimination of certain foods or food groups.

Sugary pies and chocolate bars aren't the only carbohydrates to avoid if you're fighting decay. Even naturally sweet foods from nature —sun-dried raisins, for example—can lead to a mouth full of fillings if you eat too many too often and don't remove the plaque with a brush. The stickier the food, the greater its decay-causing potential, even if eaten only now and then.95 If you must have a carbohydrate snack, have some whole grain bread or a plate of raw carrots and celery with bean sprouts. The roughness of these nonsweet foods actually gives your teeth a healthy scrubbing while you chew.

A follow-up study in 1998 showed that the levels of phthalates were considerably lower than those in the 1996 study. Phthalates have been found in fruit juices and distilled water, leached from the plastic packaging.
