How Sugar is Bad Eating…You+Sugar=Bad Sugar Effects

SUGAR IS THE LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH IN AMERICA!

The average American now consumes between 150-200 pounds of sugar every year. In the year 1890 consumption was only 5 lbs. per year. Diseases like heart disease and cancer basically didn’t exist in those times. Sugar plays a key role in both of these diseases and has been linked to these causes of death. Sugar is also the criminal in today’s obesity crisis.

When we eat sugar in it’s simplest form (sucrose) our body reacts in a surprising way. You would think that something that tastes good would be received nicely in our system. This is not the case. Our bodies are not made to eat sugar in this pure form, we are supposed to get our necessary sugar through natural means, like fruit and vegetables. Our body releases insulin to lower our blood sugar levels eventually leading to diabetes one of the top 10 causes of death in America in 2006. Not only does insulin fluctuation cause diabetes but it also causes high blood pressure, fat storage and high cholesterol, which all cause heart disease; the #1 cause of death in the world claiming 631,636 people in America in 2006.

Insulin also puts the imune system into a stat of shock making us susceptible to viruses and infections like the influenza virus and pneumonia which killed 56,326 people in America in 2006 making it one of the top ten cause of death.

If that’s not enough to convince you, sugar is what allows cancer to grow and spread around the body enough to kill. Sugar is Cancer’s fuel.

German Otto Warburg, Ph.D., the 1931 Nobel laureate in medicine, first discovered that cancer cells have a fundamentally different energy metabolism compared to healthy cells. The gist of his Nobel thesis was this: malignant tumors frequently exhibit an increase in “anaerobic glycolysis” – a process whereby glucose is used by cancer cells as a fuel with lactic acid as an anaerobic by-product – compared to normal tissues.(1) The large amount of lactic acid produced by this fermentation of glucose from the cancer cells is then transported to the liver. This conversion of glucose to lactate creates a lower, more acidic PH in cancerous tissues as well as overall physical fatigue from lactic acid build-up.(2,3) Therefore, larger tumors tend to exhibit a more acidic PH.(4)

Hence, cancer therapies should attempt to regulate blood-glucose levels through diet, supplements, exercise, medication when necessary, gradual weight loss and stress reduction. Since cancer cells derive most of their energy from anaerobic glycolysis, the goal is not to eliminate sugars or carbohydrates entirely from the diet but rather to control blood-glucose within a narrow range to help starve the cancer cells and boost immune function.

I personally found this out the hard way. I contracted brain cancer when I was three years old and had to do radiation therapy and eventually surgery. This left me with a disability in my left hand, and a huge scar on my skull. Sugar is likely the cause of my brain cancer since I was at such a young age.

Be careful with your children. You really don’t want them to die, do you? I was lucky, but not everyone is.
