IF YOU'RE AILING, THINK ABOUT HOW MUCH SUGAR YOU'RE CONSUMING (DON'T FORGET THE SODAS & PROCESSED FOODS CONTAINING IT), AND THEN CONSIDER THE FACTS LISTED HERE

IMMUNE SYSTEM: First off, sugar suppresses the immune system and leaves you open to all manner of infectious diseases. Auto-immune diseases such as arthritis, asthma, and multiple sclerosis are readily brought on or supported by excessive sugar consumption.
ADD/ADHD & CHILDREN: Sugar can cause lethargy, drowsiness and decreased activity in children on the one hand, and on the other, the rapid rise in adrenaline it produces can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, erratic behavior, and crankiness. It can reduce the learning capacity of a child, cause what the school psychologist will label a learning disorder, and affect the child's grades adversely. High sugar intake can lead to dizziness, {in adults too) and a pregnant adolescent can deliver an undersized, premature baby. Add to this the vigorously suppressed fact that sugar is enormously addictive. Children in Juvenile Detention Centers experience a 44% drop in anti social behavior when placed on a low sugar diet. And decreasing sugar intake can increase emotional stability in children and adults. Eczema in children is often caused by too much sugar.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: Sugar will drive up ypur total cholesterol and triglycerides, increasing the LDLs (bad cholesterol) while decreasing the HDLs (good cholesterol). Sugar also causes a loss of elasticity and function in the blood vessels, exacerbating any problems. Anyone who already has peripheral vascular disease will be adversely affected by getting too much sugar, in that it will greatly increase platelet adhesion. Atherosclerosis is helped along enthusiastically by sugar. And as far as blood pressure is concerned, sugar intake increases the systolic (high) number.
OBESITY: By its rapid absorption, sugar promotes excessive food intake. The body changes sugar into fat at much greater rates than it does starches. And sugar is enormously addictive! We've said that before...
CANCER: Sugar can induce many abnormal metabolic processes which promote chronic degenerative diseases, among them, cancer. Diets high in sugar will increase free radicals and oxidative stress, setting the stage for the disease. Sugar can damage the pancreas, setting the stage for pancreatic cancer. Cancer cells feed on sugar, need it to survive, and sugar as been identified as a contributing factor in the development of breast, ovarian, prostate, lung, gallbladder, and stomach cancer.

NOT TO MENTION DIABETES

Go here for an excellent, comprehensive, and easy to understand discussion of diabetes.

ELEVATED URIC ACID LEVELS

The fructose in high fructose corn syrup elevates uric acid in the blood, which causes the smooth muscle cells to contract, raising blood pressure and causing kidney damage. Increased uric acid levels lead to chronic low level inflammation, which can lead toheart attacks and strokes. There is a lot of evidence that chronic low level inflammation leads to cancer.

CHILDHOOD HYPERTENSION

The rate of hypertension among overweight children is 10%. Among all American children, the rate is 4.5%. This was unheard of in the past and dates back to the time when high fructose corn syrup began appearing in practically every processed food product we can buy. Before that, when a child was diagnosed with high blood pressure, it was usually due to a tumor or a vascular kidney disease.

Consuming any significant amounts of sugar in any form will stop you cold from being as healthy as you can be. It can and will increase the size of your liver, and possibly give you fatty liver disease. It can increase the size of your kidneys and possibly give you kidney stones.

SUGAR ISN'T ALL BAD!

A hundred years ago, people consumed an average of 15 grams of sugar a day. And it was in the form of real honest to goodness sugar! Today the typical American gets 73 grams of sugar, the bulk of it in high fructose corn syrup. Read the labels on the processed foods you buy. It's in everything! And there lies the problem. Fructose is a form of sugar that the body does not utilize efficiently. Seventy five percent of it turns to fat. The rest of it may have some nutritional benefit, if we weren't getting so much of it. We all need some sugar to feed our body cells. They cannot do without it.

By avoiding high fructose corn syrup and limiting our consumption of real sugar to less than 10 grams a day (over and above that which we normally get from fruits & vegetables), we can all go a long way toward feeling better than we ever have.

SUGAR'S ANTIBIOTIC PROPERTIES

Alternative physicians have long been aware of the antibiotic properties of sugar. At least one alternative clinic is using it to successfully avert the amputation of gangrenous limbs in diabetic patients.
