Abstract

THERE IS GENERAL, IF NOT UNIVERSAL, AGREEMENT among objective nutrition scientists, that the vast majority of the foods typically consumed by Americans are best described as fraudulent foods or, better yet, as “dismembered foods,” a term used by Donald Davis, PhD, a nutritional biochemist at the University of Texas. Such food products include most snacks, virtually all foods sold in fast-food chains, over-processed and over-refined food products sold in supermarkets and grocery stores, and soft-drinks, both “naturally” and artificially sweetened. Collectively, these food products are high in added sugar, salt, saturated and omega-6 polyunsaturated fat and contain numerous additives, including artificial colors and flavors, artificial sweeteners, preservatives and synthetic antioxidants. Annually, billions of dollars are spent in promoting sales of these food products through the mass media.
