Soda junkie anyone?

Have you ever wondered why certain types of food are so addictive? Stephan at Wholehealthsource has written alot about it. But, recently, Kris at www,kriskris.com sent me an email with an interesting post from Bruce Bradley. In his Blog post "Confessions from a Coke addict" he posted a video (it is 60 min long) on how the food industry plays with flavors and it tweaks our intention and predispose us to have more of certain foods. Im posting here the original post of Bruce. I believe it is enlightening.

This guy is said to drink 42 liters a week of Diet coke. How is that possible? The post Confessions of a Former Coke “Addict” appeared first on The Blog of Bruce Bradley.
