Did anyone see this programme last week? I missed last nights but will watch it on catch up! It's soooo interesting, in the 70s they introduced low fat products to keep with trend but to keep the flavour bunged in a load of sugar, they didn't think this would make them fat as it wasn't actual fat! Also they replaced sugar with sucrose which is a low fat sweetener seen in diet drinks etc, this has been linked to a chemical in our brain called leptin, this chemical tells us when we are full and had enough but too much sucrose can cut off this chemical so we never feel full and keep eating! I do recommend a watch it's very interesting!!
