Stop Eating Sugar

[Buck]

Added sugar in particular. Most fruit is okay.

Please watch this.

Every carbohydrate you consume is broken down into sugar for energy.

Glucose and sucrose are not the same thing. Your body breaks carbs down into glucose.

You wouldn't starve to death but you'd probably kill someone due to hunger.

most fruit juice is just liquid sugar

doctors have started telling parents not to give it to young kids.

refined sugar is just terrible ... period.

Splitting hairs.

Death by malnourishment.

I recently read an article from a heart doctor that essentially said heart disease is caused by inflammation in the body. This inflammation causes cholesterol to build up...which of course eventually leads to blockage or clots.

He said that the causes for inflammation are the overloading of highly processed carbohydrates (sugar, flour and the products made from them).

Note the word overload. Moderation is key...cutting it out completely is nonsense and, given that damn near everything has sugar in it, practically impossible. Eat a sensible diet, don't go overboard on the sweets/sodas, exercise regularly and you will be ok.

Be a nutcase and cut it out completely...probably binge within a few months and land back at square 1.

No, they aren't. But, everything gets broken down. Sucrose eventually gets broken down, too.

"The body interprets and handles all types of sugar in basically the same way. The resulting simple sugar goes into the bloodstream."

Orange juice is very high in sugar. ''soft fruits'' like grapes are very high in sugar. apples are ok, they arent as high in sugar. but you are correct young fella.

The 'sweet' taste is caused by acidity. Sugary foods are acidic and body PH is very important. That's essentially the root cause of the inflammation. Cholesterol is basically an in line goo patch for weakened or cracked arteries. Thus it's actually saving your life until it clogs things up.

It should be noted that fruits are acidic, but the body converts the body to an alkaline. Our bodies are designed for fruits and nuts. People don't eat enough of either.

Even apples are high in sugar when compared to other natural foods, perhaps not so much compared to a lot of other fruits.

Bananas are high in sugar and they're easily one of the best foods you can eat.

If one avoids fruit because of the sugar, they're thinking too small. A good diet isn't about avoiding or focusing on one thing (be it calories, carbs, or fat) and cutting it. You gotta look at the bigger picture. Your body needs sugars for quick energy and fats and proteins for a more sustained energy.

Personally I eat mostly fruit in the mornings... a bottle of OJ and a banana at least. The sugar and vitamins give me a quick energy boost that other people seem to prefer getting from coffee.

The studies target added sugar, not the natural sugars found in fruit.
