Summary
In today's episode we're uncovering the startling truth about how the food industry designs products to keep you coming back for more. We explore how Big Tobacco’s history of engineering cigarettes influenced the creation of modern snacks, using the "bliss point" to trigger dopamine spikes. We also discuss how these highly engineered substances specifically target children, hijacking their biology through aggressive marketing. Learn why cutting back on these foods can feel like quitting a drug and discover simple steps to regain control over your health.
