Encouraged by an invitation from LinkedIn, I just posted my goal for 2022 on my LinkedIn page.\u00a0 And that made me realize that I might achieve that goal a lot sooner if health-conscious people would start talking about \u2018type one obesity\u2019 \u2013 speaking out so loudly that healthcare professionals would act on the fact that there are people out there who have no control over their weight and would give them the help that they need to deal with their disabilities.\u00a0 So, I\u2019m sharing with you and hoping that you will share with others.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Losing weight is the number one goal for Americans in 2022. It was also at the top of the list last year, the year before that, and on and on.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As I see it, there are two types of obesity (similar to the two types of diabetes). Type 1 obesity is something that can\u2019t be controlled with diet and exercise. Type 2 obesity can be controlled with diet and exercise \u2013 if a person chooses to do so and is willing to put out the effort.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal for 2022 is to share what I discovered about type 1 obesity as I was researching the dangers of MSG and MfG (manufactured free glutamate).  I\u2019m hoping that doing so will help wipe out the shame and blame suffered by people with a condition over which they\u2019ve never had control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most people understand that if you consume more calories that you need, you\u2019ll put on weight.  What I discovered (or more precisely uncovered) is that before a child\u2019s brain is fully developed, it is possible to damage that part of the brain that regulates appetite and turns off the desire to continue eating.  Each of us should have been born with a switch, so to speak, that turns hunger on and off, telling us when we\u2019ve had enough to eat. I discovered that it\u2019s possible to wipe out the part of the brain that contains the \u201cswitch.\u201d And that happened to so many people in the 1960s and 1970s (and continues to happen to this day), that it\u2019s being called the \u201cobesity epidemic.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My goal is to share that information.  In this age of instantaneous communication that shouldn\u2019t be a difficult goal to attain. And the most effective way to be successful would be to publish a well thought out, well researched article in a medical journal focused on obesity, explaining that excitotoxic amino acids fed to pregnant women will be passed on to the fetus where it will damage that part of the brain responsible for weight control. <\/s><\/p>\n\n\n\n

But editors of medical journals don\u2019t seem to have an interest in publishing something that might displease Big Food. True, my goal for 2022 may appear difficult, even unattainable, but as Nelson Mandela said, \u201cIt always seems impossible until it\u2019s done.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
