Sugar Is Poisonous!

The average person living in the Western world consumes about 125 pounds of

refined table sugar every year! Did you know that sugar is poisonous to the

body and that it leads to, or directly causes, 146 health problems and

diseases? Here are just a few examples:

* Sugar can suppress the immune system and it contributes to the

reduction in the body's defense against bacterial infection (infectious

diseases).

Scientists have proven that too much sugar is the death of the immune

system.

* Sugar upsets the mineral relationships in the body. It also

interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium.

* Sugar produces a low oxygen environment = cancer and candida

(fungal) growth environment.

* Sugar causes a loss of tissue elasticity and function.

* Sugar can cause and/or lead to appendicitis, atherosclerosis,

arthritis,asthma, cancer, candida (fungal overgrowth), eczema, emphysema,

gallstones,heart disease, hemorrhoids, multiple sclerosis, osteoporosis,

periodontal

disease, varicose veins, etc.

* Sugar weakens eyesight and it can cause cataracts.

* Sugar contributes to diabetes and obesity.

* Sugar can impair the structure of DNA (genes).

* Sugar is the #1 enemy of the bowel movement.

* Sugar can cause headaches, including migraine.

* Sugar can cause depression.

* Sugar causes indigestion and constipation.

* Sugar feeds cancer and other fungal diseases, i.e. candida (fungal

overgrowth).

* Sugar is an addictive substance, and it can be intoxicating, similar

to alcohol.

* Sugar causes high blood pressure in obese people.

Sugar & Vitamin C Compete for Cell Entry

The fact that sugar greatly depresses the immune system has been known for

many years, mainly because of Linus Pauling. He is the only person ever to

receive two unshared Nobel Prizes — for Chemistry (1954) and for Peace

(1962).

He concluded that white blood cells need a high dose of vitamin C, and so he

developed his theory that high doses of vitamin C were needed to combat the

common cold, the flu, and even cancer.

Did you know that vitamin C and sugar have similar chemical structures so

that means they compete with one another for entry into the cells? New research

confirms Dr. John Ely's 30-year theory that sugar (glucose) competes with

ascorbic acid (Vitamin C) for insulin-mediated uptake into cells.

Consuming sugar can effectively crowd out the ascorbate (vitamin C). The

effect of the Pauling Therapy [high doses of vitamin C] is reportedly much more

pronounced and immediate when sugar is eliminated.

If there is more sugar around less vitamin C is allowed into the cell, and

vice versa. It is interesting that taking vitamin C also helps curb cravings

for sugar, alcohol and carbohydrates. Since our bodies cannot make vitamin C

on its own, it must be obtained from foods or supplements on a daily basis.

Sugar Caused the Bubonic Plague!

In his book Sugar Blues, Bill Dufty points out numerous examples of physical

diseases and psychological disorders that can be traced back to diets that

are deficient in whole unprocessed foods, and dominated by highly processed

fats and sugars.

One example he notes is that " by 1662, sugar consumption in England had

zoomed from zero to some 16 million pounds a year, this in little over two

centuries. Then, in 1665, London was swept by a plague. " However, the bubonic

plague was blamed on rats?

Candida/Yeast Syndrome Sufferers & Sugar

People who have candida, the yeast syndrome, cannot consume any sugar since

candida/yeast's the main food supply is sugar and all forms it, including

dairy products (except butter) which contain lactose, honey, maple syrup,

molasses, glucose, fructose, and all sugar substitutes and artificial

sweeteners,

with a couple of exceptions.

All fruits, except lemons and limes, are also very high in sugar (fructose)

and should not be consumed until the candida is cured. Some vegetables that

are also high in sugar must also be eliminated, i.e. carrots, yams, sweet

potatoes, parsnips, beets and others.

Even though lemons and limes are allowed on the candida diet, since they

provide many health benefits, they should not be consumed in large amounts

because they contain fructose, which will feed candida.

Sugar is also contained is most processed foods such as smoked luncheon

meats, ketchup, soup, etc. so carefully reading labels is very important.

Not all sugar substitutes directly feeds Candida, but all of them damage the

immune system, and most are neurotoxic (causing damage and disturbances to

the brain and nervous system). Stevia is the only sweetener that is allowed

for candida sufferers, but it should only be consumed in very small amounts,

because like all sugar it will increase cravings for sugar and high

carbohydrate foods. The best stevia product to buy is dried or powdered leaf,

and

unprocessed.

Artificial & Natural Flavors, Aromas, Seasoning & Spices

Hundreds of chemicals are used to mimic flavors, aromas, and spices, with

many different kinds used in a single flavoring, such as for cherry soda pop.

Their use indicates that the " real thing " has been left out and substituted

with chemical flavoring.

Companies want to keep the identify of artifical flavors, aromas, spices and

seasonings a deep secret, so they disguise it by using a " catch-all " " term

that is not regulated, so it will cover up the fact that chemicals are added

to products. The term used is " natural, " which is far from natural and very

toxic and damaging to the body.

Natural favorings label may also include substances like MSG, carrageenan,

HVP (hydrolyzed vegetable protein), monosodium glutamate, and many others.

Such chemicals are neurotoxic (causing damage to nerve and brain cells) that

fall under the category RTNC, which stands for Reaction–Triggering Neurotoxic

Chemicals.

There are more than a hundred of different kinds of RTNCs, but these

hazardous ingredients may be listed on food labels under a number of different,

innocent-sounding names, like " Natural Flavors, " " Spices, " or " Seasonings. " See

_Neurotoxic Chemicals in Foods & Drinks_

(http://www.healingnaturallybybee.com/articles/neurotoxins.php) for a list.
