The Shocking Statistical Truth About Sugar

(Before It's News)

Truth IS: we live in a society that constantly feels the “need” to reward every single good job with sweet treats. After a few years of “rewarding” the outcome is obvious, both psychologically and physically.

Truth IS: there are more than 70 health disorders that are connected to sugar consumption. Some of the most common are: diabetes, poor brain development in children, lack of concentration, allergies, asthma, ADHD, hypoglycemia, mood swings, immune and nutritional deficiencies.

Truth IS: “In humans sweet receptors evolved in ancestral environments poor in sugars and are thus not adapted to high concentrations of sweet compounds. The supranormal stimulation of these receptors by sugar rich diets generates a supranormal reward signal in the brain, with the potential to override self-control mechanisms and thus to lead to addiction.” (Intense Sweetness Surpasses Cocaine Reward. Lenoir M. PLos ONE. 2007; 2(8):e698)

Solution IS: there are many solutions now to ditch sugary diets, some including getting some expert help and educating yourself on the matter, to help you understand the process and what this is doing to your health and how it affects the quality of your life. To start, try this experiment: don’t eat ANY kind of sugar for a week (some low glycemic grains and low starches are allowed). Don’t eat fruits, honey, jams, candy, desserts, don’t drink any soda or juices. If you feel withdrawal symptoms (irritability, shakiness, mood swings, dizziness, constant thoughts about sugar,etc) then you ought to know it’s high time to revise your diet.

    Truth is: The human body needs three things to survive…

    1. Air
    2. Water, and
    3. SUGAR

    Anyone who says differently is lying.

    The air keeps the body breathing. The water keeps the body hydrated and the SUGAR, or SUCROSE, which is found in many foods, including sugar cane, provides the body with much needed ENERGY.
