Foodly Wisdom You Don't Want to Hear

Our modern diet is a mockery; the artificial flavours and preservatives trick our taste buds into thinking we're feeding our body what it needs.  For example, we crave sugar because it turns into alcohol in our stomachs. We crave the alcohol because it's reminiscent of fermented foods. Fermented food and drink is what the body actually hopes you are feeding it when you consume sugary food. It contains vitamins, minerals, and enzymes necessary for good digestion. Sugar on the other hand breaks down the immune system, leeches calcium and minerals from our bones, and over time wears down our endocrine system.  Food was meant to be truly flavourful so we would nourish our bodies. Modern artificial flavouring attracts us to foods that leave us malnurished. God created our bodies to  work intelligently you just have to listen and respond with wisdom.
