If sugar were Nigerian, he’ll without doubt, be a politician – corrupting every single system he gets into.

But is sugar really such a spoiler, does it cause as many problems as we accuse it of? One thing is certain folks, guilty or not guilty; sugar is not changing its ways anytime soon.

Sugar comes is two major forms: The simple sugars like in coca cola, sweets, fruits, chocolates and many others; And the complex sugars (better known as starch) like in yam, garri, rice etc. When we eat any of these sugars, it is ultimately converted in our body to glucose – the only accepted sugar “currency” in the blood.

Let’s reveal the presumed seven sins of sugar and see if sugar is really truly guilty, or possibly not guilty of them, one after the other.



Sin 1 – Sugar is the cause of diabetes
---

Diabetes is a complex disease, resulting in abnormally high levels of sugar in the blood. The natural thinking is, if the disease is characterized by sugar, then sugar must be the cause.

Well not exactly. The appropriate sugar level is maintained by a hormone called insulin. When the blood sugar gets too high, it reduces it. But in this case, the diabetic case, insulin fails to perform. Sugar doesn’t stop insulin’s performance, as a matter of fact, insulin only exist because of sugar.

There are several conditions – like obesity, that has been linked to insulin’s poor showing. Including some hard to pronounce infections – like cocsacchie a (I told you), that destroys insulin’s production factory – the pancreas.

Verdict: Not Guilty


Sin 2 – Sugar causes diarrhea
---

Diarrhea, strictly by definition, is the condition of having three or more loose or liquid bowel movements per day.

There are certain sugar types some people cannot digest. The most common is the sugar in milk – lactose. Other problematic sugars include fructose and sorbitol (a sweetener) – found in chocolates, cookies and many other sweets. Indigestible sugar causes diarrhea.

Verdict: Guilty


Sin 3 – Sugar worsens menstrual pains
---

Serious menstrual pains (dysmenorrhea), is a little taste of child birth labour. Exactly the same thing happens (contractions), just on a more friendly level – no matter how painful you feel it is.

There are two types of dysmenorrhea – primary and secondary. Primary dysmenorrhea is commoner. It starts from teenage years and reduces as the years pass by. In contrast secondary dysmenorrhea starts later in life and it’s usually associated with underlying conditions like uterine fibroids.

Dysmenorrhea is not caused by sugar but reducing dietary sugar intake 10 -14days before the beginning of menstruation could be helpful, especially in primary dysmenorrhea.

Verdict: Guilty and Not Guilty (whatever that means, you decide.)


Sin 4 – Sugar is the problem in hemorrhoids (pile)
---

Hemorrhoids aka pile, are painful, swollen veins in the lower portion of the rectum or anus, appearing as lumps/swellings or maybe totally invisible.

A number of factors may lead to the formations of hemorrhoids including constipation, lack of exercise, low-fiber diet (fruits and vegetables), prolonged straining, pregnancy, genetics and aging.

Verdict: Not Guilty


Sin 5 – Sugar spoils the action
---

It’s time for some action, you are ready and so is wify, but the little man is saying otherwise, he just won’t get out of bed – feeling so weak today. Then you remember how many bottles of coca cola you took few hours ago, and so naturally, you blame it on sugar.

But most common causes of erectile dysfunction (apart from emotional issues), are disorders that damage nerves and arteries to the penis such as, diabetes, kidney disease, vascular disease, alcoholism and some drugs like anti-depressants. So if you are consistently having weak erections, you need a comprehensive checkup, go see you doctor.

Verdict: Not Guilty


Sin 6 – Sugar makes you overweight
---

YES it does, and we can make that bold, underlined and in capitals.

Excess sugar getting into the body is stored in the liver and also stored as fat. Hence, the more sugar you eat the bigger you become, except you work out rigorously.

Verdict: Guilty


Sin 7 – Sugar can start a backache
---

Backaches can be caused by a long list of problems and somewhere on that list, sugar will appear.

Research has shown that the process of clearing excess sugar from our system can put a stress on the muscles of the back, hence causing back pains. Other medical specialists believe sugar can make the back bones inflame (swell).

Verdict: Guilty


The facts here might change, but as at today, this is what science knows.

Thanks bro

Op what of brown sugar

Op what of brown sugar

Brown sugar has a slightly lower caloric value by mass than white sugar due to the presence of water. One hundred grams of brown sugar contains 373 calories, as opposed to 396 calories in white sugar.

At the end of the day, it mainly depends on the quantity consumed.

But kindly read the entire piece, not all the "sins" are scientifically attributed to sugar consumption alone. The twisted point here is that sugar isn't as bad as it's made to look.

I was recently told that brown sugar i.e sourced from sugar cane is safe and low tendency to course diabetics.
How true

lack of Insulin or ineffective insulin is the cause of diabetes. it's technically not sugar. Bread, Eba, Amala, Beer, Tea, Chocolate etc all contain sugar!!!

I AM A CANCER SURVIVOR BY GOD’S GRACE THANK GOD FOR BELL LIFESTYLE PRODUCTS.

DR. REMIGIUS NKEM ASHUKE (Medical Practitioner) LAGOS, NIGERIA

It all started about February 2012 and the first symptoms I started experiencing were non-productive cough and chest pain. I consulted with consultant physicians and ENT surgeons at different hospitals and I was subjected to diverse laboratory investigations, all to no avail. I took several X-rays of the chest and did CT scan of both the chest and the neck. TB tests (acid fast bacill and gene expert), echocardiogram, FNAC (fine needle aspirate cytology) and so on, without anyone being able to make any impression that could suggest what was wrong with me. The cancer had already metastasized to other parts of my body while those investigations were being done.
On 20th June 2013, I was rushed to LASUTH (Lagos University Teaching Hospital) medical emergency on account of severe breathlessness at abot 7am. I was given emergency medications to relieve the breathlessness and from my arrival here, I began to make use of artificial oxygen which I was on for one full month, while I was being investigated by different medical teams. Within that period, I was placed on anti-TB drugs following a mentuex test that was carried out on me, which came out positive within durations of 16 minutes.
It was when I was taken to theatre for bronchoscopy and mediasthnoscopy that the cardio-thoracid team discovered the massive metastatic tumor that had obstructed my trachea at the lower third of the trachea. I was then referred to EKO hospital Ikeja for radiotherapy, I had seven courses of radiotherapy at the hospital and I had six courses of chemotherapy at LASUTH. There was a time my platelet count dropped to one (1) and I was losing blood through my nostrils, mouth and I was urinating frank red blood. It was while I was receiving chemotherapy that a doctor friend of mine (Dr. Emmanuel Nsofor) brought Bell Supreme Immune Booster and Japanese Green Tea to me and I began to use them. It was from that moment that I stopped breaking down after every course of chemotherapy and I began to feel strong within in spite of my wasted exterior.
Having realized the efficacy of Bell Products, I started using Curcumin 2000X as well.

Apart from strengthening my immunity and helping me to recover from CANCER OF THE LUNGS. I have not been sick since one year ago that I started using the products inspite of the fact that I used to suffer so often from malaria before my contact with Bell Products. I sincerely thank God Who made it possible for DR THEO ANUCHA MD/CEO of Bell Lifestyle to bring the products to Nigeria.

TESTIMONY OF NATUROPATH
I am Roman Deguenon, Staff of BCEAO Bank, I was suffering from pain on my back at the vertebra since more than 10 years. It was paining me extremely and when I started I must suffer through for many hours. I went from Clinic to clinic, from doctor to doctor in vain. The pain was becoming atrocious and unbearable. Finally, I was obliged to adopt the bet lambo abdominal. I couldn’t seat down for long time neither stand up for long time. I was convicted to do movement only with car.

Then one day, somebody directed me to centre of Naturopath –NGO BT- I went there and the miracle was done for me. The manager of the centre prescribed 2 BOTTLE OF SHARK CARTILAGE and before I finished the first bottle, I felt that my pains disappeared. When I finished 2 bottles, I did not feel anything again. Nowadays I don’t feel pain again at the point that I can use machine for my movement something that I coulddn’t imagine in the past few months. Bell Shark Cartilage really saved me from pains. Many patients got relief by using Bell Shark Cartilage and we received multitude of testimonies for it.
As a Manager of the centre of natural health, I think in my own opinion that Bell Shark Cartilage is the best food supplements because of several positive results (and sometimes spectacular) we get from patients after their use.
