The urban jungle is rich with opportunities to hunt and gather. The local tribes call these areas grocery stores.
But the convenience can be dangerous for Homo Urbanus because the grocery stores contain both and bait.
As we enter the hunting ground we find a variety of food along the periphery. But if we venture into the aisled interior there are many pitfalls to avoid.
High Fructose Corn Syrup. This bait is dangerous to Homo Urbanus and according to Princeton University, studies show there is significantly more weight gain than other sweeteners even when the caloric intake is the same. One of the reasons HFCS is so bad is that it has to be processed by the liver the same as alcohol. Duke University has shown it to be a significant contributor to Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease.
Grains. The second bait we want to avoid is over-consumption of grains. Grains in general were key to the evolution of of Homo Sapiens to Homo Urbanus by supplying easy stores of energy to survive winter months and allow occupational specialization. Currently American grains have very few strains and the effects of genetic modification are only now being explored.
However, many people notice that when traveling to Europe they can eat grains without ill effect. So, here is a link to the only source I have found for flour that is both grown and processed in Europe and available in the united States.
