All of us like sweets – it’s a constant. But who could
thought that a pure pleasure is addictive and slowly
killing us all, according to scientists.
Scietists believe that our decline in health (obesity,
metabolic syndrome, heart diseases, diabetes, cancer)
over the past few decades is directly connected with
global increase in ingestion of fructose, sucrose,
HFCS and other substances.
Sugar is a sweet drug
Dr Lustic claims that sugar is an addictive toxin that
damages public health to the point that we now need
government intervention. It’s addictive, stimulating as
it does the release of feel-good hormone dopamine –
and the food industry knows it.
Manufactures benefit from people’s health
Food manufacturers pump it into everything from
‘low fat’ yoghurt to ready meals and breakfast cereal.
They do this to make food taste nicer. What is even
more bad is that such foods tend to have all the fibre
stripped out, and fibre can help to slow digestion,
regulate appetite, and reduce fat storage.
Damaging impacts on the body
Studies illustrate that large intakes of refined sugar
cause huge spikes in insulin which promote fat
storage. Over a period of time, this can lead to
insulin resistance and leptin resistance – leptin is the
hormone that sends signals to decrease your appetite.
Than means your body becomes more and more
inclined to store fat, whilst you remain hungry. But
that does not mean you should completely cut sugar
out of your diet. Just try to control the amount of
sweets you consume (don’t forget about other
sources of hidden sugars such as cereals, flavored
yogurts, salad dressing, ketchup etc.) and minimize it.
Be healthy, be strong!
