Think of a food you really like - now!
I can tell you- it is either salty, sugary or fat.(or very calorie dense).
you see, these items are so rarely found in nature that the caveman and other animals find them tasty. That is natures way of ensuring that if an animal comes across any of these - it immediately recognizes it and eats it all up.
(same way a vulture will like dead animals or a komodo dragon will find rotting flesh tasty).
In fact, hunters leave lumps of salt at their favourite spots so that they find an animal there on the next visit.
What nature did not know- that one day fat, sugar, salt and calorie dense foods will be freely available for us to eat!
Our bodies obviously were designed to function on very low levels of salt, sugar and fat in our diet. We starved but we thrived.
Its shocking that (most likely) hypertension (salt) or diabetes (sugar) or hyperlipidemia(fat) or obesity will affect 1 in 2 american children born after 2000.
Imagine if we control these 4 big diseases (and smoking)! IMAGINE IF WE DONT!
