You know that homeless guy you scoffed at because...well..if he wasn't addicted to drugs he could function as a normal member of society. Well let me throw this at you. How hard would it be for you to cut out SUGAR? Yeeeah..not so easy huh? Sorta like you're "addicted" huh? Think you could do it? That means giving up: Candy, energy drinks, most fruit juices, obviously sodas, Processed foods, pastries, donuts, cakes, and even most breads, most cereals, jams and jellies...
Ever wonder why you get sick a lot? Let me give you some information on Sugar and your Immune System.
One of sugars major drawbacks is that sugar raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones which in turn depresses the immune system.
Too much sugar into your blood stream makes your body upset and out of balance triggering the release of insulin. Insulin promotes the storage of fat. Eating too much sugar causes rapid weight gain, elevated triglyceride levels which are BOTH linked to cardiovascular disease. Complex carbs lessen the impact on blood sugar levels...so keep that in mind.
Glucose vs. Vitamin C- Blood sugar value of 120 reduces the phagocytic index by 75%--sooo..eating sugar causes your immune system to SLOW DOWN TO A CRAWL!
All animals convert sugar into ascorbic acid (Vit C) EXCEPT Humans, Primates, and Guinea Pigs.
Health dangers of sugar are certain!
Simple sugars aggravate asthma, cause mood swings, personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, diabetes, hurries heart disease, grows gallstones, arthritis...........
Because refined dietary sugars lacks minerals and vitamins they must draw upon the body's micro nutrients in order to be metabolized into the system, when its depleted metabolization of cholesterol and fatty acids is hindered contributing to high triglycerides, high cholesterol, and obesity.
*Sugar consumption is 1 of 3 major causes of degenerative disease..and it is well known that SUGAR feeds Cancer!*
This is definitely not cause to switch to artificial sweeteners! But...that's a whoooooole other blog;)
