Research has been conducted on the effects of stress on appetite, such as overeating due to stress causing obesity and the desire to eat sweets from stress, but the possibility that stress may be taken from food Said Jun Yoon, president of medical investment firm Palo Alto Investors.

Stress hormones are produced in the body in response to stress, with cortisol being the main stress hormone in animals and ethylene being the main stress hormone in plants. These stress hormones have various effects on animals and plants, including inducing brain contractions . However, little is known about the effects of human consumption of food-borne stress hormones produced by animals and plants on the body.

According to a study published by Elizabeth Petrosas, a scientist at Purdue University in the Journal of Animal Science in 2018, when stress hormones such as cortisol and noradrenaline are added to apple juice and swine are given to pigs, stress occurs about one day later. The results showed that the blood levels of hormones rose sharply, causing an increase in body temperature and changes in intestinal bacteria.

Research has shown that stress hormones such as ethylene in plant foods can also cause a stress response with some of the gut bacteria. It is also said that stressed intestinal bacteria cause activation of human stress hormones . According to Yun, the activation of stress hormones induced by ethylene etc. is generally considered safe, but almost no direct effect of the ethylene itself consumed in the body on the human body is known. It is not. Yun further notes that the processing of food (PDF file) raises the level of ethylene in food .

'Animals store fat under stress, and fruits gain sweetness under stress. Fat and sweetness are the foundation of all desserts. It may not be ironic that reversing 'desserts' will result in 'stressed' because you want foods rich in fats and sweets, ”said Yun.

Yun points out four ways to reduce stress hormones in animal foods:

1: Be able to live without much chronic stress.
2: Enables living close to the natural environment, such as free-range feeding.
3: Consider reduction of infection, chemistry and environmental stress.
4: Give a diet that does not contain stress hormones, for example, wild grass instead of processed corn.

It also lists three production methods that reduce the amount of stress hormones in plant foods.

1: Growing on appropriate soil, season, and environment.
2: Manage to avoid chemicals, pests, infection and contaminated water.
3: Keep in mind that ethylene production will continue after harvesting, and control production, harvesting, transportation, storage and consumption to minimize ethylene production.

Yun said, 'In fact, these methods are, generally we are most consistent with the method of producing organic referred to as food. Way to reduce the stress hormone that is included in the food, for the production form of organic food' Ockham It 's tempting to intuitively guess that it's like a razor , but experimental verification is still needed, and the 'health index' of food is far more than we understand May have been determined by the factors of yours.
