A Healthy Makeover for Your Taste Buds

If you’re like most Americans, the never-ending stream of ultra-processed, highly palatable foods that define our modern food supply have hijacked your taste buds.

And it's no wonder - 71% of the foods available in the grocery store are ultra-processed, typically with added fats, sugars, sodium, and chemical flavor additives that stimulate the parts of our brains that create cravings and food addiction.
What’s more, the food industry invests billions in employing teams of scientists to guide them in producing processed foods that don’t fill us up (because the more you eat the more money they make) AND that take sinful advantage of our palate’s innate love of sweet and fatty foods.
Yes, they purposely dial in flavor to create what they call the bliss point -the point at which the addictive powers of a food crescendo. But have no fear! Fortunately, our sense of taste is highly malleable. This means that your taste buds can be coaxed into loving the simple and less intense flavor profiles typical of the healthiest foods - Mother Nature’s disease-busting foods-like vegetables, fruits, beans, and whole grains.
Here are three proven practices to help you transform and protect your taste buds so that healthy eating becomes what you crave and enjoy.

Dear Dr Ann, greetings from England. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise with everyone. It is wonderful to discover a fantastic array of healthy foods - and to be aware of things to avoid. I wish to ask please: sometimes I buy ready-prepared salads (all made with fresh ingredients), they come with a separate small tub of dressing. Should one discard the dressing and prepare one's own do you think? This question also applies to stir fries - again, very good quality ingredients that can be purchased with a separate sauce to add to the wok. Is it best not to purchase the packaged sauce and instead prepare a home-made version knowing the ingredients one uses. Thank you so much for your tireless commitment to promoting the importance of healthy eating so closely linked to our wellbeing. Love your videos.

Yes, best to make your own dressing! I have a video coming on this very soon! Thanks for your kind words!

I read that it's also maybe very good for our tongue if we put some tootpaste and butter on cigarettes and smoke one after the other before finally scraping impurities away with a warm, edged piece of hard plastic. But I think they're have only been a few studies and it may not by accepted as a fact by the medical community just yet.

Ghastly comment, a mindset that always has to pollute - avoid... like the plague!
