I agree with you. But did you know that high fructose corn syrup interferes with that "I'm full" signal? It's also true that foods today are so calorie dense that our "I'm full" signal may come far too late- when we've already eaten far more calories than we needed: "This is especially true when it comes to processed foods such as breads, crackers, cookies, cereals, or anything made with white flour or added sugars, such as high-fructose corn syrup. The human body did not properly evolve to consume these items, and they are far more calorie-dense than items found in the natural environment. As a result, they can give your body more calories than natural foods would, and yet your stomach may only feel half-full. In other words, you can easily consume 1000 calories worth of pastries and baked goods without feeling full, even though if you tried to consume 1000 calories worth of apples, you probably wouldn't be able to do it because your hunger signals would be turned off long before you reached 1000 calories. So there's a complex interaction between appetite hormones and our modern food supply, which is heavily dominated by processed foods and manufactured foods." newstarget.com
