Is there anything more popular than Oreos and milk for a snack? Can you stop at just two or three?
Statistics show that the Oreo cookie is the number one cookie in America and many countries worldwide. And for most people Oreos must be accompanied by milk. Why is that? What’s in the Oreo that makes it so special and why is the milk important?
Let’s look at the ingredients to see the underlying reasons for this “winning” combination and how it’s contributing to the rising rates of obesity, diabetes… and cancer.
Oreo Cookie Ingredients
UNBLEACHED ENRICHED FLOUR (WHEAT FLOUR, NIACIN, REDUCED IRON, THIAMINE MONONITRATE {VITAMIN B1}, RIBOFLAVIN {VITAMIN B2}, FOLIC ACID), SUGAR, PALM, AND/OR CANOLA OIL, COCOA (PROCESSED WITH ALKALI), HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP, LEAVENING (BAKING SODA, AND/OR CALCIUM PHOSPHATE), CORNSTARCH, SALT, SOY LECITHIN, VANILLIN (AN ARTIFICIAL FLAVOR), CHOCOLATE.CONTAINS WHEAT, SOY.
Why You Always Want to Eat More
When you combine high fructose corn syrup with salt and animal fat (cow’s milk), you are making a combination of chemicals that elicit a pleasure response in the brain that demands more
stimulation. As long as you continue to stimulate it, the more sensitive the reaction becomes.
This reaction is similar to the excitotoxic response from MSG or glutamates because they are all related. The pleasure and lack of satiation detection by the brain is due to the scientifically formulated balance of sugar, fat, and chemicals. This combination enhances the experience without the satiation factor that tells the brain you have consumed enough so the signal to stop eating is never sent out. Thus you feel “hungry” when in fact you are full.
Are Oreos More Addictive than Cocaine?
This is part of the mechanism that leads to food addiction and has recently been supported by research claiming that Oreos can be as or more addictive than cocaine.
A recent scientific study performed by Joseph Schroeder and his team at the Connecticut College in New London determined that the high fat/high sugar combination is as addictive as morphine and cocaine. Interestingly, they found that in some instances it is even more addictive. This is because the cost of Oreos is lower than cocaine, so the availability is greater to all consumers.
That is a profound and alarming statement to consider. What are the consequences of such an addiction?
The ingredients in Oreo cookies consist of high sugar and high fat plus salt and carbohydrates. This chemical mixture will increase your risk of diabetes and feed cancer and unhealthy bacteria. It will also lead to hyperactivity, mood swings, free radical damage that leads to a higher cancer risk, and hormonal imbalances. Furthermore, if the brain cells experience too much stimulation they could die and then you have brain damage added to the other serious health issues.
Adding Milk Compounds the Problem
If that’s not bad enough, when cow’s milk is added to the mix, you introduce all the problems related to commercial milk production.
Dairy cows are regularly injected with antibiotics to help control a medical condition known as mastitis (which humans can also get). The mastitis is caused by the continual doses of bovine growth hormone used to keep the cow’s producing large quantities of milk even when they are in the “low phase” of their milk production cycle.
At this time the milk produced is higher in fat and lower in protein so the quality is diminished. This fact adds to the risk of cancer because dairy fat contains higher bad estrogens that lead to breast, ovary, prostate, and colon cancers.
If you are consuming excessive amounts of Oreo cookies to feed the food addiction, and washing it down with high fat milk laden with hormones and antibiotics, you are creating a lethal blend that greatly increases your risk of cancer, obesity, and diabetes.
All these factors put extreme stress on your immune and digestive systems so the body becomes helpless in this onslaught of chemical and hormonal invasion.
This is a health hazard today that should be avoided at all cost. Your life and health depend on you making informed decisions to protect it and your family. There are safe alternatives that are also satisfying. Choose unprocessed foods in their whole state and play it safe. We at TTAC offer a number of recipes for better food choices. Food addiction and obesity that lead to cancer is not pleasurable, but there is hope and support when you change your diet.
