Let’s clear up any confusion on this:
Sugar is BAD!
When you are trying to wade through all the conflicting information about what “diet” is right for you there is one simple truth to remember — White, refined sugar & high fructose corn syrup are bad.
Once you know this and start to operate from this point of view some of the other diet confusions will be easier down the road.
Make a plan to decrease your white sugar consumption. And set a future goal to eliminate it totally. The reasons to do this are very numerous. Here are eight of them:
-
Sugar causes inflammation
-
Sugar creates bowel problems
-
Sugar feeds immune challenges, makes you more likely to get sick and stay sick longer.
-
Sugar contributes to depression and anxiety.
-
Sugar causes cardiovascular disease.
-
Sugar makes you gain weight.
-
Sugar also raises cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
-
Sugar consumption can lead to cancer.
Sugar is highly addictive. Sugar is in the majority of processed foods. So, many people find the thought of stopping sugar impossible.
I would like to tell you it is possible.
It’s not easy.
