Too Much Sugar Can Ruin Your Health

Simple sugar or glucose, is what our body, cells, and brain use as fuel for energy.  Some glucose is stored in our liver and muscle tissues as glycogen for future use.  Excess sugar is stored as fat for use during periods of low-calorie intake or starvation.

Our problem with sugar and sweets comes from how much and how often we eat them.  Refined sugar or sucrose (glucose & fructose) is usually extracted from sugar cane or sugar beets, initially whole foods. However, most of the nutrients are removed and retained only in the discarded extract called molasses.  The result is pure white sugar, a refined crystal that contains four calories per gram and essentially NO NUTRIENTS.

Some ways too much sugar ruins your health:

• Suppress the Immune System
• Cause Hyperactivity and Anxiety
• Interferes with Absorption of Calcium and Magnesium
• Causes Difficulty Concentrating & Crankiness in Children
•  Weakens Eyesight
• Can Lead to Alcoholism & Diabetes
• Can Cause Kidney Damage
• Can Cause Arthritis
• Can Cause Gallstones

Because of constant overconsumption of sugar, sweets, and hidden sweets, you can develop an addiction. The excess of sugar in the body leads to toxicity and requires a DETOX!
