1850 Wholesale Pittsburgh Penguins Jerseys , the average American consumed about twenty pounds of sugar annually. Today, the typical American consumes 141 lbs. of sugar (an SUV-full) annually. The 2011 USDA approximates the average American ingests two tons of sugar in a lifetime. Yes, that’s per person.


Most of this sugar stems from high fructose corn syrup which is the primary ingredient in most processed foods. But, if you read the nutrition labels, you’ll promptly see that sugar is either added or exists organically (such as in dairy and fruit) in over 80% of the food in the supermarket. Soda pop, juice drinks Wholesale Philadelphia Flyers Jerseys , milk, and pure fruit juice are the leading sources of sugar from drinks.


Your body can’t tell the difference between fructose from oranges, lactose from cheese, galactose from beets, or sucrose from maple syrup. Since their molecular structures are nearly identical, these saccharides are all metabolized by your body in the exact same way. In addition Wholesale Ottawa Senators Jerseys , all fruit and starchy carbohydrates such as grains, legumes, corn, and potatoes, will immediately get converted into glucose in the blood. According to Harvard Health Publications, pizza Wholesale New York Rangers Jerseys , mashed potatoes, raisins, popcorn, and Grape Nuts (a supposed “health food”) all have a glycemic index (glucose = 100) above 70 which is 15 points higher than a Snickers bar. Fructose (from corn and fruit) is one of the worst kinds of sugar because it’s very glycating which can be very harmful to your arteries. An elevated glycemic index created by the ingestion of these high carb foods eventually results in insulin resistance and candida overgrowth.


Insulin is a pancreatic hormone that helps the body metabolize blood glucose by binding with receptors on cells (much like a key fits snugly into a lock). Once the insulin hormone has “unlocked the door” into the cell and glucose is inserted, it is then either burned for fuel or stored as fat in the form of glycogen. Every time you consume excessive carbs, the pancreas has to produce an unnaturally high amount of insulin which eventually becomes toxic to the cells. Eventually Wholesale New York Islanders Jerseys , your cells need a break from the insulin onslaught. So, what does your Intelligent Body do to compensate fo this? Well, it downgrades the number of receptors so that the cells don’t have to receive the insulin as often. This insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, anxiety, hypoglycemia Wholesale New Jersey Devils Jerseys , ADHD, and systemic candida.


In the gut, the ratio of “unfriendly” bacteria to “friendly” bacteria is about 15% to 85% in a healthy body. Although, when you base your diet on foods and drinks that are high in starch, the Intelligent Body counterbalances by shifting from an oxygenation process to a fermentation process. And Voila! Your gut gets converted into a yeast manufacturing plant that produces billions of candida fungi every time you eat a plate of pasta or half a banana. You’ve just added yourself to the every-increasing trend of people who are unsuspectedly addicted to sugar.


Besides sugar, it is wise to abstain from all artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose. Studies have shown them to cause rapid weight gain (despite their zero calorie claims) Wholesale Nashville Predators Jerseys , increase your risk for cancer, and have been linked to a variety of other health problems. The only sweetener I’ve found to be safe is pure Stevia (no ingredients added).
