"For example, the health effect of a hamburger cannot be simply attributed to the effect of a few grams of saturated fat in the meat. Saturated fat is merely one ingredient. Hamburgers also include other types of fat, in addition to cholesterol, protein and very small amounts of vitamins and minerals. Even if you change the level of saturated fat in the meat, all of the other nutrients are still present and may still have harmful effects on health. It is a case of the whole (the hamburger) being greater than the sum of its parts (the saturated fat, the cholesterol, etc.)." - T. Colin Campbell, Ph.D. and Thomas M. Campbell II, The China Study: The Most Comprehensive Study of Nutrition Ever Conducted and the Startling Implications for Diet, Weight Loss and Long-term Health (Get the book.)

"The fast-food hamburger has been brilliantly engineered to offer a succulent and tasty first bite, a bite that in fact would be impossible to enjoy if the eater could accurately picture the feedlot and the slaughterhouse and the workers behind it or knew anything about the "artificial grill flavor" that made that first bite so convincing.This is a hamburger to hurry through, no question." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"A typical hamburger in 1957 weighed 1 ounce and contained 210 calories. Today, that same hamburger is 6 ounces and packs 618 calories. What's worse: 25 percent of the vegetables eaten in the United States are french fries. Despite the choices you have every day over what you eat and what you do, the mere convenience and reliability of fast food—and even processed foods found at local markets—has programmed many Americans in a way that makes eating this food a mindless act. That is, people eat these foods without thinking about what they are doing or how it will affect them in the long run." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Now, repeat the experiment with a hamburger. The hamburger will also last for years without deterioration. No bacteria will even try to decompose it. These and most other manufactured "foods" such as margarine, for example, are made to last forever, perfectly preserved so they can make it through the lengthy manufacturing and transportation process, and are "safe" for the consumer. Are you wondering what kind of chemicals these foods must be saturated with to enable them to resist even bacteria and mold?" - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"People who eat a quarter-pound hamburger that has been made to look like a half-pounder with lettuce, tomatoes, and onions feel equally full after eating. Students who drank a smoothie whipped to twice the volume with the same calories ate less for lunch 30 minutes later, and reported feeling fuller. Use small vessels. Drop your dinner plates and big glasses off at a charity, and buy smaller plates and tall, narrow glasses. You're likely to eat significantly less without even thinking about it. Make snacking a hassle. Avoid tempting foods." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"What does that have to do with eating a rare hamburger? Well, if a vitamin necessary for life is not found in abundance in the diet, an organism can usually manufacture it out of molecular building blocks. Because cows and other animals, but not plants, make B]2 in large quantities, we get it in our diet and no longer need to make our own. Likewise, most animals manufacture their own vitamin C, but humans don't. We can surmise that plants high in vitamin C were so abundant in our early diet that we simply lost the need for that genetic code-or, more accurately, it is just not "turned on." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"This is a hamburger to hurry through, no question. By comparison, eating a grass-fed burger when you can picture the green pastures in which the animal grazed is a pleasure of another order, not a simple one, to be sure, but one based on knowledge rather than ignorance and gratitude rather than indifference. To eat slowly, then, also means to eat deliberately, in the original sense of that word: "from freedom" instead of compulsion." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"News & World Report noted the growth in burgers: Weight Calories Typical hamburger in 1957 1 ounce 210 Typical hamburger today 6 ounces 6183 And, a plain hamburger is not the typical order at fast-food chains. Accompanying the meat can be cheese, bacon, and sauces. Jack in the Box serves a Bacon Ultimate Cheeseburger with 1,120 calories and a staggering seventy-five grams of fat (more than ten grams of fat above the total recommended for an entire day). The food companies boast openly about the portions, using mighty words to describe what they serve." - Kelly Brownell and Katherine Battle Horgen, Food Fight (Get the book.)

"For example, there are tasty, higher-fiber whole wheat hot dog and hamburger buns now at most supermarkets, including national chains like Trader Joe's and Whole Foods Markets. Or when you're having hot or cold breakfast cereal, reach for one that has plenty of whole wheat. When a Chinese restaurant offers you a choice between brown and white rice or an Italian restaurant offers the option of whole wheat pasta (some do here in California), take the whole grain ball and run with it." - Elaine Magee, Food Synergy: Unleash Hundreds of Powerful Healing Food Combinations to Fight Disease and Live Well (Get the book.)

"MEAT SUBSTITUTES Health food stores and supermarkets now sell innumerable products that look and taste like hamburgers, hot dogs, sausage, cold cuts, pepperoni slices, meatballs, ham, Canadian bacon, sliced poultry, chicken nuggets, and "hamburger crumbles" for casseroles—all without a shred of meat. Most are made from soy or wheat gluten (seitan). Precooked and ready to eat, they are the ultimate in convenience. Brands vary widely in fat content and ingredients (e.g., some contain egg or dairy products), so check the labels." - Neal D. Barnard and Bryanna Clark Grogan, Dr. Neal Barnard's Program for Reversing Diabetes: The Scientifically Proven System for Reversing Diabetes Without Drugs (Get the book.)

"Meat products such as sausage, hamburger, meat loaf and schnitzel may also contain wheat. To do a com challenge test, eliminate the following foods for five days: corn, corn nuts, corn flakes, corn meal, grits, popcorn, corn oil, corn syrup, corn sugar and kernel corn. Read labels for hidden sources of corn in packaged, canned and frozen goods. Medications and vitamins may contain traces of corn starch." - Heather Caruso, Your Drug-Free Guide to Digestive Health (Get the book.)

"Is it the timber-hungry industries, or the hamburger manufacturers who encourage farmers to cut down the forest and use it as pasture for a few years? The governments that allow this to happen? The banks, which demand interest on their loans? Or all of us who in one way or another support the present system? Can we stop pouring carbon dioxide into the skies, or do we love our energy-hungry lifestyle too much? Can we significantly reduce our use of fossil fuels, or are we too attached to our current technologies and to the comforts they bring? Can we stop acid rain?" - Peter Russell, Waking Up In Time: Finding Inner Peace In Times of Accelerating Change (Get the book.)

"Eating a hamburger and French fries, for example, can flood your body with free radicals. However, blaming free radicals for causing damage in the body is like blaming the bullets for a shooting victim's injuries when, in fact, the person who pulled the trigger is responsible. Saturated fats are solid and found in products such as lard and butter. They contain large quantities of natural antioxidants, which make them much safer against oxidation by free radicals." - Andreas Moritz, Cancer Is Not A Disease - It's A Survival Mechanism (Get the book.)

"But it's HEALTHY SIGN The average healthy stool has the consistency of a ripe banana, the shape of a sausage, and the color of a hamburger. actually excess gas that's keeping the feces afloat. If the gas is caused by your diet, the floaters are nothing to worry about—that is, unless someone is going to use the bathroom immediately after you. On the other hand, if the gas is the result of a GI disorder, the floaters can signal celiac disease (aka sprue, a condition in which a person cannot digest gluten, which is found predominantly in wheat). Floating stools are also seen with IBS or IBD." - Joan Liebmann-Smith, Ph.

"It was the age of Cap'n Crunch for breakfast, bologna and Velveeta on Wonder Bread with barbecue chips and Twinkies for lunch, and hamburger Helper for dinner. (As kids, we once found a half-eaten Twinkie under one of my brother's beds that had been there for nearly a year, and it still looked exactly as it had the day he opened the package, with the outline of his bite mark still perfectly intact. It was so full of preservatives even the ants that feasted on nearby forgotten banana peels wouldn't touch it." - Donna Jackson Nakazawa, The Autoimmune Epidemic (Get the book.)

"A BAD HAMBURGER The Swedes began looking into a possible soybean connection when a young girl suffered an asthma attack and died after eating a hamburger that contained only 2.2 percent soy protein. A team of researchers collected data on all fatal and life-threatening reactions caused by food between 1993 and 1996 in Sweden and found that the soy-in-the-hamburger case was not a fluke, and that soy was indeed the culprit. They evaluated 61 cases of severe reactions to food, of which five were fatal, and found that peanuts, soy and tree nuts caused 45 of the 61 reactions." - Kaayla T.

"And why, despite weeks of "good" behavior, you ultimately succumb to the lure of a triple cheese-bacon hamburger with a super-size order of fries or hot fudge sundae, and effectively say, "Screw the diet"? Yes, for about six weeks just about anyone can control any one—or even several—of these parameters, but eventually control always seems to be wrenched from you, doesn't it? Diets fail because they don't deal with who's really in control over the long term: your unseen autopilot. stairs a step at a time." - Dr. Steven R.

"When she first saw a hamburger a few years ago, Kamada had asked, "What do you do with that?" "My mother eats in the tradition of women her age," the daughter continued. "They are not used to rich foods, but rather the foods that they ate as young women, before the war. She mostly eats vegetables from her garden—daikon, bitter melon, garlic, onion, peppers, tomatoes—and some fish and tofu. All day long she nurses a pot of hot, green tea. Before each meal she takes a moment to say hara hachi bu, and that keeps her from eating too much." "Hara hachi bu?" I repeated." - Dan Buettner, The Blue Zones: Lessons for Living Longer From the People Who've Lived the Longest (Get the book.)

"D meat," which means the animals from which hamburgers are produced were dead, dying, diseased or disabled. In this video, Dr. Day explains that the chickens we buy at the supermarket have had their intestines pulled out in the slaughterhouse. The excrement pours all over the chickens, and the chickens are actually soaked together in a vat filled with the excrement until they absorb 10% additional weight from this fecal soup! Government regulators allow this practice because if they didn't, it would cost the chicken companies a lot of money." - Susan E.
