<p>Today, we're going to talk about the most powerful group in the food industry—the four companies control 90% of the grain trade. This includes products made from corn, soy, wheat, sugar, and rice, which comprise about 68% of the average person’s calories in the United States.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The 4 following companies are the middleman between farmers and food corporations: </p> <p>1. Archer Daniels Midland </p> <p>2. Bunge</p> <p>3. Cargill</p> <p>4. Louis Dreyfus </p> <p><br></p> <p>There is a lot of corruption in the food industry. Many “junk food brands” also own organic and natural brands, pet food, and vitamin and supplement companies. </p> <p><br></p> <p>Starches, sugars, and seed oils are the main ingredients in almost all ultra-processed foods. The sugar is used to keep you wanting more, seed oils are repurposed waste, and starches are a chain of sugars used as a filler. </p> <p> </p> <p>Starches cause more of an insulin spike than sugar. Sugar has a glycemic index of 65 compared to 185 for maltodextrin! Fillers and starches can cause major health problems.</p> <p><br></p> <p>The market follows the demand, so what you choose to buy is important! If you stop buying these products, you decrease the demand.</p>
