Americans eat more sugar than any other group of people in the world. We now have more children under the age of 12 that are Type 2 Diabetic than any other country in the world. What is worse, is that this disease just a few years ago was called ADULT onset diabetes. What's happening to us and our kids ?? SUGAR and more SUGAR, that's what's happening.
No matter your nutritional type, sugar is not good for you. Certainly you can tolerate small amounts if you are healthy and the majority of your diet is healthy, but let’s face it the average American is consuming over 150 pounds a year of sugar or nearly half a pound a day. Ideally your annual consumption should be well under ten pounds per YEAR. Sugar increases your insulin and leptin levels and decreases receptor sensitivity of both these hormones. This means that your body can't get insulin to work properly no matter what type of medication you might be on. This may prompt your doctor to increase your dose and spiraling you into other problems. This can lead to a wide range of health problems, including weight gain, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, premature aging, and heart disease.
Sugar suppresses your immune system, causing problems with allergies and digestive disorders. It can even bring on depression.
Stay tuned as we bring you more information, probably more than you wish you had, on the effects of sugar, the types of sugar and how you can heal Diabetes 2 if you or someone you know has it.
