Fat Isn’t Making us Fat, SUGAR IS
(Free Seminar – October 26th at 10:00am. See registration instructions at the bottom)
One of the scary things about Sugar consumption is that our body doesn’t know when to say when, unlike most other nutrients our body has corresponding molecules to tell the brain—HEY DUDE your full. All except for sugar that is, it goes into our system undetected and gets stored as fat before we have a chance to turn the switch off and stop eating.
Sounds bad right? It gets worse, a recent study done on rats showed that sugar is more addicting than cocaine.
Think about this for a moment – why is it that we are eating “lower fat” diets, joining more gyms, exercising more and yet we are still becoming the most obese country in the history of the world.
Part of the reason is that our bodies were only meant to have sugar occasionally. Think back to when foods were at their rawest form and humans were preparing everything themselves. Do you think our great, great, great, great grandparents had a surplus of Bananas or Apples? No, these sweet and fun treats were just what they sounded like… a TREAT to them.
Our great, great….many times over grandparents ate vegetables and lean protein.
Sugar is everywhere and in everything. Including things where you don’t even see it (Sugar Alcohol) which is a newer way for marketers to get you to eat their “healthier” foods and think you are making a better choice.
Try this on for size, did you know the average child eats around 75 grams of sugar at lunch? I know you’re probably thinking it would never be you because you prepare your child something like the following: Peanut Butter and Jelly on Whole Wheat Bread, Applesauce and a Fruit Punch. Your giving them good nutrients yes, but that same meal is shocking their little system with the same 75 grams of sugar as a bunch of Twinkies would do!
Not only is sugar addicting, I believe it is food for cancer it can also ruin our taste buds for naturally occurring sweets tastes.
Someone who loves watermelon flavored candies or drinks will typically not enjoy an actual watermelon as much because they feel it isn’t as sweet or flavorful.
Still not hitting a cord, how about this? Over the last 20yrs the amount of sugar consumption has risen from 25-26lbs per year to 125+ per year. Compare that to a 110 years ago when the same great, great grandpa rents were consuming 5lbs per year.
Western medicine can not and will not save us from this, as it turns out Cancer’s preferred source for fuel is none other than Glucose.
If you want to learn how to lose your fat, pass on healthier choices to your kids and save perhaps your own battle with sugar —
