It would be fair to assume that almost everyone on
planet loves sugar and sweet foods. Processed sugar is in many products and is a key ingredient for baking. It seems that everyone has a sweet tooth for some sugar food in one way or another. Most people know to limit their intake of processed sugar, however, what most people don’t know is that sugar is one of
worst ingredients to put into your body. The chemical reaction of sugar in
body acts as a poison. Studies show that sugar has drug like effects in
body.Processed sugar has many harmful effects throughout
body and can cause major imbalances in
organ systems. You could say that sugar tends to throw off
homeostatic balance of
whole body by increasing
production of adrenaline by many times. In essence, sugar stimulates
nervous system by inducing a flight or fight response.
This is obviously not a healthy process. This intense reaction of
body increases
production of cortisone, which suppresses immune function and can lead to other health disorders.
The daily intake of sugar leads to many other imbalances and malfunctioning of
bodily processes. High sugar consumption leads to an overly acidic body and in turn will cause
body to strip nutrients from its reserves to counterbalance this effect. This can eventually cause
body to take calcium from
bones and teeth since calcium is
primary mineral used to neutralize high acid in
cells. Osteoporosis and arthritic conditions can result from this continued process.
Sugar and its Link to Weight Gain
Excess sugar consumption will eventually effect every organ in
body. Primarily, sugar is stored in
liver as glucose. Since
liver’s capacity to store sugar in this form is limited,
liver will start to expand almost like a balloon with continued daily sugar intake. When
livers’ capacity has been filled,
excess glycogen (glucose) is returned to
blood in
form of fatty acids (fat). The fatty acid compounds are then taken to various parts of
body and are stored as fat deposits in
buttocks, belly, breasts and hips since these are
most inactive body parts.
The consumption of excess processed (refined) carbohydrates has
same effect on
body. Eating foods with refined white flours and other enriched products can cause
same physiological effects. Consuming excess pasta, rice, chips, pretzels, and other high processed carbohydrates can lead to fat deposits on
body.
Many people do not understand how eating excess pasta or rice can cause weight gain since these foods has very minute quantities of fat and calories in them. The secret is…it is not that important how much fat or calories a food has. The real key is what biological effect does a food have in
body.
When
inactive body parts have become filled with fat then eventually
excess fatty acid deposits will become stored around major organ systems such as
heart and kidneys. This leads to
degeneration of these organs and in turn will cause poor health. This can result in poor immune response, poor circulation, high blood pressure, and can even impact brain functioning.
A False Energy High
Too much sugar intake gives one a false sense of energy. When you eat a sweet food, your energy will go up, however, it only feels that your energy is going up. In fact, this false energy is really your body being stimulated via
flight or fight response that I spoke of earlier. After this reaction has worn off, your energy levels will come crashing down as most people experience every day after they have eaten a high sugar food.
Most children that have ADD can completely heal themselves just by eliminating processed sugars in their diets. Children eat way too many processed sugars. The behaviors and bodily responses that these children feel are
flight or fight responses of their nervous systems. All forms of processed sugars such as nutra sweet, cane juice, corn syrup, brown sugar, splenda, powdered sugar and others have
same effect on
body. The chemical structures of these compounds are very harmful to
body and should not be consumed on a frequent basis.
Fruit sugars are very healthy for you. The monosaccharides (simple sugars) in these natural foods are in a structure that are beneficial to your cells. Fruit sugar has a much different effect on your body than does processed sugar. Fruit sugars nourish and energize
body naturally. This is true energy as compared to
false energy one gets from processed sugars. Your cells require
simple sugars in fruits consistently since they serve to fuel
body with
best substances. Make sure you consistently eat many fruits a day. I would recommend eating 4 to 5 pieces of different fruits a day for better health.
The True Bitterness of nutra sweet & sucralose (splenda tm)
What you are about to discover is information that has been known for quite some time by various health organizations. Please take this information seriously because there are agendas in place to hide this truth and to use it against you.
Aspartame (nutra sweet) is actually worse to consume than sugar. This technical name includes
following brands of sweeteners- (equal, nutra sweet, spoonful and equal measure).
Be advised that these compounds are very powerful and can cause severe biological effects in your body. To say that they are toxic is an understatement. The manufacturer of these compounds knows of
dangers in consuming regular amounts of aspartame substances. As I have already said there is an agenda for putting these compounds into various products.
If you want to know
true agenda then research it for yourself. I am not one who attempts to prove anything to anyone. I challenge you to do your own research and see if you can prove what I am saying wrong. In trying to prove me wrong, you will prove me right.
The Breakdown of Aspartame
Aspartame is a volatile substance, meaning that it breaks down very readily under normal storing conditions. Primarily, all aspartame compounds break down into methanol (alcohol), which is a known neurotoxin. The methanol in time then will break down into formaldehyde that is a highly reactive chemical that is damaging to
cells and genetics of
body.
This process can cause a number of neurodegenerative diseases such as alzheimers, lupus, multiple sclerosis (MS), and parkinson’s disease. The methyl alcohol that forms from aspartame is thousands of times more potent than
alcohol found in a normal alcoholic beverage.
Reactions to aspartame products include
following: headaches, nausea, depression, fatigue, heart palpitations, slurred speech, breathing difficulties, memory loss, seizures and even death. Consuming high amounts of aspartame can also increase your cravings for carbohydrates. I explained earlier that consuming high amounts of empty carbohydrates (refined flours, pasta, rice, chips) will lead to weight gain.
