A recent study conducted by researchers at Tufts University and funded by the National Institute of Health (NIH) organization headed by Dr. Anthony Fauci has revealed a shocking truth about the food industry. Big food companies have been buying off scientists to study their unhealthiest products and recommend them as part of a healthy diet.
The Study
Researchers uncovered that foods like Frosted Mini Wheats, Cocoa Puffs, alcoholic-laced covered almonds and lattes are just as healthy, if not more so than lean proteins such as chicken, beef, and shrimp. The researchers recommended cutting back on these healthy foods and replacing them with the more profitable junk foods produced by large food companies.
Big Food’s Influence
This study raises questions about the influence of big food companies on the scientific community. Did all parties involved approve this study? Could Dr. Fauci have known or approved of these findings? There has been no comment from any party involved in this matter yet. It also demonstrates how large food companies impact our nation’s diets since they have a presence in nearly every school cafeteria, hospital kitchen, and prison commissary providing unhealthy products to all individuals regardless of age or health concerns.
The Impact on Public Health
The suggestion that junk food is just as nutritious as healthier options has significant implications for public health overall. Nina Teicholz author of \”The Big Fat Surprise\” states that anyone can recognize Frosted Mini Wheats and chocolate covered almonds are not wholesome nutrition choices for people to consume regularly. Additionally, it is evident that an industry-fueled agenda was behind updating the food pyramid when one takes into account over 70 cereal brands named by Kellogg’s General Mills, and Post were included in its designations for what should be eaten daily or weekly for optimal health benefits.
Conclusion
This research conducted by Tufts University along with NIH funding shines light onto disturbing realities about the power certain industries have over our national diets in promoting their own unhealthiest products instead of actually advocating for better nutrition choices for everyone across different age groups or health needs in mind firstly . Questions must be raised regarding who authorized such a study when it clearly goes against public health interests at hand making sure everyone is getting adequate nutrition from wholesome sources instead
