Why is Sugar Bad For You?

Even The Chinese Have Known That Sugar Is Bad For You For Over 1000 Years

FACT:

Sugar causes diabetes, obesity, heart disease, premature aging, oxidative

stress and degenerative diseases

FACT:

Consuming a diet high in carbs, (read, "sugar") makes the cells of your body send out hunger signals and tends to trigger excessive eating habits. And hence the reason why the more

processed foods you eat, like doughnuts, crackers, pasta and many others, the more you

crave them.

FACT:

Eating whole, unprocessed, "one-ingredient,"

foods reduces your tendency to over eat calories.

FACT:

Our body prefers to use FAT as it's primary fuel source,

NOT carbs.

FACT:

Eating too much of anything, even no-carb foods like eggs, beef or chicken

will result in higher blood sugar, weight-gain and other sugar-related

diseases. Watch your portion sizes!

Sugar And Diseases

Author William Dufty wrote in his 1975 book, "Sugar Blues," that there is a strong correlation

between sugar and many diseases.

Sugar And Diseases

We all know about diabetes, but excessive sugar consumption also puts you at risk of both cancer and

psychosis. Dufty points out in his book that the proliferation of insane asylums coincided with the

availability of cheap sugar.

Sugar And Diseases

He also points to a study that showed one country that had the highest sugar intake-per capita of sugar

and also the highest cancer rates in the world.

Sugar And Addiction

Dr. David Reuben, in his book, "Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Nutrition," compares the sugar molecule to that of cocaine. (It's no wonder

it's addictive, but we'll get to that in a later video)

Chinese Medicine

In the year 752 (that's right, over a millennia ago), Chinese medical practitioner Wang Shou wrote about

diabetes in his book, "A Collection of Diseases."

Not Just Diabetes

When we say that sugar is bad for you, we're not just talking about diabetes.

Not Just Diabetes

We are talking about obesity, cancer, psychosis, dementia, heart disease,

skin disorders and yeast infections --- just to name a few.

Sugar is making us sick and killing us.

Foods That Contain Sugar

When we use the term, "sugar," we are not just talking about plain old white

table sugar that you put in your coffee.

Foods That Contain Sugar

Yup, despite the Food Pyramid fiction that we've been subscribing to, fruits and grains contain sugar and are bad

for you.

Foods That Contain Sugar

It doesn't matter very much what the fiber content is (although the fiber does slightly reduce the sugar-per

serving), just the overall percentage of calories that are sugar.

Foods That Contain Sugar

We'll show in a later video how to calculate the percentage of carbs in

your food.

Foods That Contain Sugar

Other foods that contain sugar are, as author Tim Ferriss in his Slow-Carb Diet puts it, "anything that's white or

might be white."

Foods That Contain Sugar

With the exception of cauliflower (Duh!), it's generally a good idea to avoid or reduce your intake of these

foods:

Foods That Contain Sugar

●Sugar (obviously all junk foods like candy, donuts, crackers, cookies, chips, ice cream,

sweetened yogurts, fruits)

●Breads and Pastas and Cereals (even whole grain)

●Rice

●Potatoes

Do We Even Need Sugar?

The conventional wisdom is that we need carbohydrates (read: "sugar") in our diet. The fact is, our bodies prefer to burn fat as it's primary fuel source.
