The Taming of The Chew
Title and Author of the book "The Taming of the Chew" by Dr. Denise Lamothe
King Solomon, the wisest and wealthiest man in human history was quoted as saying: “Everyone’s toil is for their mouth, yet their appetite is never satisfied”. Solomon was also a scientist who studied the world around him with fervor, so I take note of a wise man words.
When it comes to diets the first thing that pops into most people’s heads is deprivation, and tastelessness. But what most people don’t understand is the complicated physiology of taste. We have all heard of the “Discriminating Palette” or “one must develop a taste” for a certain food. But when given the option of eating something you know is healthy for you, and will reap a reward at the bathroom scale and in your level of energy and personal achievement levels we prefer to ditch that particular taste for “Flavor Crystal Blasted!”, “Maxx” Ice-cream flavors, and “New and Improved Flavor”. We have ad campaigns that hide a “serving of vegetables” in a can of chemical goo, and pretend that it is healthy for our kids. We have High Fructose Corn Syrup fruit juices with a splash of vegetable juice to convince and please our palettes that we are consuming something healthy and nutritious instead of taking the time to develop a truly discriminating palette for the real thing.
We are a nation being ruled by bumps on our tongues! And paying for it dearly, we are a nation that is five billion pounds overweight!
What is the cost of obesity by the type of service provided?
A: For each obese patient:
• Medicare pays $95 more for an inpatient service, $693 more for a non-inpatient service, and $608 more for prescription drugs in comparison with normal-weight patients.
• Medicaid pays $213 more for an inpatient service,$175 more for a non-inpatient service, and $230 more for prescription drugs in comparison with normal-weight patients.
• Private insurers pay $443 more for an inpatient service, $398 more for a non-inpatient service, and $284 more for prescription drugs in comparison with normal-weight patients. (*Network Ltd - web.winltd.com)
You my friend are paying for this whether you realize it or not.
So what is taste really? You might call the little knobs dotting the surface of your tongue taste buds, but you'd be wrong. Those are papillae, and there are four kinds of them: fungiform and filiform on the front half, foliate and vallate on the back. The actual taste buds, described as looking like little onions, cluster together in packs of two to 250 within the papillae. The buds in turn consist of up to 100 cells, either receptor or basal.
When something tasty enters the mouth, its chemicals are dissolved by the saliva, and the free-floating molecules enter the taste bud through a pore in its center. If the molecule binds to the tip of a receptor cell, it will excite that cell into issuing a series of chemical and electrical signals. It used to be thought that these electrical signals would then be fired directly into the brain, but the process turns out to be more complicated than that.
Each receptor cell is connected by a single primary olfactory neuron to one of the brain's two olfactory bulbs. The primary olfactory neurons pass through holes in the cribriform plate, a penny-thin bone at the front of the cranial cavity upon which the olfactory bulb rests. The primary neurons come together in structures known as glomeruli and there meet secondary neurons.
Messages shoot across the synapses, the gaps separating the primary and secondary neurons. Smell nerves fibers then wend their way in complex paths throughout the rest of the brain, particularly into the most primitive portions. Some fibers reach the hypothalamus, the center controlling appetite, anger, fear and pleasure, while others continue into the hippocampus, which regulates memories, or descend into the depths of the brain stem, where such basic functions as remembering to breathe are regulated.
Speaking from personal experience, I was once someone severely ruled by bumps on my tongue and the cost was dear—40 years of self-loathing, severe hypoglycemia, wonky hormones…all for something that tasted good for a few fleeting moments, as it crossed my lips. It always left me feeling lousy for hours afterward. It wasn’t until I took the time to RETRAIN my taste buds, and make a neurochemical reaction of “yes, this is what real food is suppose to taste like” and connected it to the reward center of my brain, of feeling good for hours afterward i.e. no bloat, headaches, stomachaches, heart burn, flatus etc. That’s when something miraculous happened! I began to be repulsed by snack foods. I had developed a “discriminating palette”, one that would serve me well, instead of deceive me with flavor blasting crystals!
Sensa!-Senseless
So I recently treated myself to an infomercial on Sensa—the weight loss stuff you sprinkle on your food and it magically makes you eat less so you lose weight. And I gotta say, from a consumer perspective, who still does not get it, that that there is no such thing as ‘magic dust in a bottle that helps you lose weight’; it still hits that emotion button hard. “Gee—all I have to do is sprinkle it on my 1 pound bag of M & Ms and my super sized value meal and (magically) I will then only want to eat half of it without getting off the couch and I will lose weight! Yeah! It’s a freakin’ miracle, I am grabbing my credit card as we speak!”
I have been known to be facetious at times! So the Scientist, who supposedly has been working on this special formula for over 20 years, says he has found a way to trick the brain into thinking it is full, so you eat less. Okay, I am not a scientist, but I found a way to do the same thing without screwing with my valuable brain chemistry, and ending up in a lawsuit 10 years from now because my sense of smell and equilibrium are messed up with cancer or some such nonSensa (get it—heehee) and now I am in a class action lawsuit just like the makers of Olestra or Fen Phen.
Do you want to know what it is? It’s cheap, extremely beneficial to your digestive system, absorbs toxins, helps you lose weight, eat less, 100% natural, no fillers, wood chips, or artificial chemicals or sweeteners and it will make you as regular as an atomic clock, and our bodies need it every day, know exactly what to with it, and it didn’t take a scientist 20 years to concoct in a laboratory.
It’s…FIBER! Yep, plain ol’ psyllium husk fiber, costs about $8.00/pound, last you about a month. Protects against colon cancers, absorbs excess toxins, bad estrogens, gives you a sense of fullness, lowers blood sugar, aids exponentially in weight loss, and cleans your intestines like a scrub brush, gets ‘em squeaky clean so they can better absorb nutrients, and give you a strong immune system.
But you see, I don’t have millions of dollars for a fancy schmancy ad campaign, and besides that you cannot put a patent on nature. What I can do is save you a ton of money, a potential lawsuit, and protect you from a chemical that could possibly damage your fragile endocrine system.
