And again, refer to my example of Mountain Dew with and without HFCS. Both are high in calories and sugars.

The ingredients in our food products play a large role in whether or not we gain weight or not. It's not just eating food, its whats in the food we eat. The body has issues processing unknown chemicals and sometimes it can disrupt the metabolism and other important factors in digestion.

Synthetic Chemicals Can Cause Obesity
A study published in early 2007 by researchers at the University of Missouri-Columbia has linked chemicals found in many prepared foods and beauty care products to obesity.According to scientist Frederick vom Saal, the author of the paper, endocrine-disrupting chemicals found in plastics and pesticides can change the functioning of a fetus's genes, altering the metabolic system and predisposing him or her to weight gain later in life. Of the roughly 55,000 man-made chemicals in the world, about 1,000 may cause this type of endocrine disruption, he says.Obesity is on the rise worldwide. In the United States, more than two thirds of the population is overweight and one third is obese, according to the Centers for Disease Control.
Living a more natural lifestyle that incorporates organic products, he says, can minimize exposure to these chemicals and thereby reduce the risk of obesity.Organic products contain ingredients that have been produced without the aid of synthetic fertilizers, pesticides or plant growth regulators.
