Today, we're going to talk about the most powerful group in the food industry—the four companies that 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.

The 4 following companies are the middlemen between farmers and food corporations:
1. Archer Daniels Midland
2. Bunge
3. Cargill
4. Louis Dreyfus

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.

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.

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.

The market follows the demand, so what you choose to buy is important! If you stop buying these products, you decrease the demand.
