Studies show Sugar is toxic and has negative effects on :
Depression, anxiety, allergies, mental illness, our bodies can't handle refined sugar!
WHY SUGAR IS TOXIC TO THE BODY
[link to www.karlloren.com]
"In
the 1940s, Dr John Tintera rediscovered the vital importance of the
endocrine system, especially the adrenal glands, in "pathological
mentation"-or "brain boggling". In 200 cases under treatment for
hypoadrenocorticism (the lack of adequate adrenal cortical hormone
production or imbalance among these hormones), he discovered that the
chief complaints of his patients were often similar to those found in
persons whose systems were unable to handle sugar: fatigue, nervousness,
depression, apprehension, craving for sweets, inability to handle
alcohol, inability to concentrate, allergies, low blood pressure. Sugar
blues!
Refined sugar is lethal when ingested by humans because it
provides only that which nutritionists describe as "empty" or "naked"
calories. It lacks the natural minerals which are present in the sugar
beet or cane. In addition, sugar is worse than nothing because it drains
and leaches the body of precious vitamins and minerals through the
demand its digestion, detoxification and elimination make upon one's
entire system.
So essential is balance to our bodies that we have
many ways to provide against the sudden shock of a heavy intake of
sugar. Minerals such as sodium (from salt), potassium and magnesium
(from vegetables), and calcium (from the bones) are mobilized and used
in chemical transmutation; neutral acids are produced which attempt to
return the acid-alkaline balance factor of the blood to a more normal
state.
refined sugar is a poison because it has been depleted of
its life forces, vitamins and minerals. "What is left consists of pure,
refined carbohydrates. The body cannot utilize this refined starch and
carbohydrate unless the depleted proteins, vitamins and minerals are
present. Nature supplies these elements in each plant in quantities
sufficient to metabolize the carbohydrate in that particular plant.
There is no excess for other added carbohydrates. Incomplete
carbohydrate metabolism results in the formation of 'toxic metabolite'
such as pyruvic acid and abnormal sugars containing five carbon atoms.
Pyruvic acid accumulates in the brain and nervous system and the
abnormal sugars in the red blood cells. These toxic metabolites
interfere with the respiration of the cells. They cannot get sufficient
oxygen to survive and function normally. In time, some of the cells die.
This interferes with the function of a part of the body and is the
beginning of degenerative disease."
