Health › Re: 8 Reasons Why Sugar Is Not Food For You. by okonja(m): 10:04am On Oct 16, 2014
Let me help you format your post because this layout isn't okay for me: angry

joeterri:
I will like to give you 8 reasons why sugar is bad for your health. No doubt we all enjoy taking sweet things like candy, soft drinks, wedding and birthday cakes, sweet tea and lots of other sweet things. Sugar, mainly sucrose is used to sweeten most of these items.

When I say sugar in this context I don’t mean carbohydrates in general but sucrose in particular. Chemically sucrose is a disaccharide made up of Glucose and Fructose subunits joined by a glycosidic bond. Sucrose is extracted from sugarcane or sugar beets which are grown as a root crop. This sucrose is refined to give the table sugar which we use in our coffee and tea, the icing which we use in cakes; it is also used to sweeten some of the beverages, soft drinks and candy that we take. The refined sucrose has some other elements such as trace metals,
vitamins and calories. The average person consumes about 24kg of sugar a year (33.1kg in industrialized countries) which is equivalent to about 260 food calories per day. These excess calories contributed by refined sugar are converted into fats and stored in adipose tissues. Over time this has a negative impact on the human system as a whole, so the next time you walk into a place and you order for a bottle of soft drink you should be sure of the consequences of your action.

According to Sir Isaac Newton’s third law of motion, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction, thus we should have it at the back of our minds while drinking down that bottle of coca cola that there is an opposite reaction which in this case can be any of the following conditions which are caused by the intake of these sucrose sweetened items;

Obesity: When sugary foods are taken they don't supply healthy amounts of protein or fiber, which means they don't fill you up and satisfy your hunger. This makes it more likely that you'll overeat, increasing your overall calorie intake and leading to weight gain. Each tea spoonful of sugar contains about 15 calories of sugar, averagely each person consumes about 260 food calories worth of sugar daily. These calories are besides those obtained from food and are converted to fats and stored in adipose
tissues and this can lead to unhealthy weight gain.

Immunosuppressant: Whenever you take a sugar rich item like a candy bar or a bottle of Coca cola, it suppresses or lowers your immunity and the effect can last for hours, imagine how long the effect will last when you drink that coca cola for more than once a day.

Tooth decay: Sugary foods cannot provide the necessary vitamins and minerals required for a good health; rather the sugar reacts with the ever present dental plaque to produce acids which can be harmful to the enamel producing holes and tooth decay. Thus, the higher the amount of sugar consumed the more the tendency to develop tooth decay.

Glycation: When sugar is ingested and it enters the blood stream, it looks for attractive things such as proteins and fat molecules to hook up with, this is called glycation. These glycated molecules move around recklessly causing havoc all over the body and end up forming what is called AGEs (Advance Glycation End products) which is a toxic compound. This AGEs is known to speed up the aging process.

Insulin resistance and Diabetes: Whenever you take sugary foods your blood sugar level rises which triggers the pancreas to secrete insulin to move the sugar from the blood into the cells. Over time the amount of insulin required to do the job increases and subsequently the pancreas may stop responding to the call by the high blood sugar to release insulin leading to Insulin-Dependent diabetes.

Promotes excessive inflammation: Inflammation on its own is not bad, but sugar makes this inflammation to become excessive and this can speed up the aging process.

Cardiovascular diseases: Sugar is associated with a decreased level of the good cholesterol, High Density Lipoprotein (HDL) and an increase in the level of bad cholesterol, Low Density Lipoproteins (LDL). This increase in LDL and a decrease in HDL increase the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as Arteriosclerosis and hypertension.

Decreased libido: High levels of sugar in your bloodstream can turn off the gene that controls your sex hormones. The excess calories from the sugary foods are converted and stored as fats in the adipose tissues. Increased fats synthesis deactivates your SHBG (Sex Hormone Binding Globulin) gene, causing your levels of SHBG protein to drop dramatically, and it is this SHBG protein that controls your testosterone and estrogen levels, thus libido is affected.

I know by now you must be thinking it’s unfair for such a sweet tasting substance like sugar to have such effects but too bad it’s true. Next time you want to buy food you might want to check the nutritional label just to be conscious of how much sugar you are putting into your system as the chronic consumption of high amounts of sugar is responsible for most of
these effects. you can also substitute the sugar for other natural sweeteners.

The young girl's ear is the old woman's eye

The young girl's neck is the old woman's mouth

The young girls chin is the old woman's nose

If you can't see both, change your perspective,,,the young girl is looking backwards, the old woman has the side of her face shown.


Most people won't see more than one image though....the brain doesn't see something differently except you tell it to!
Thumbs up, I now see it

If you all remember she posted an article about a guy named Ayedee, Well, this is the full story.
https://lindaikejionline.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/unnamed.jpg

What you are about to read is quite long…and chilling! I wasn’t going to share this info in public but after I showed it to some family members and a few friends who came to the house this morning, everyone agreed that I need to share this, that you all need to read this. You see, what happened with my blog wasn’t about beef. It wasn’t because I showed off my new SUV. It wasn’t about plagiarism, or copyright infringement. It was something deeper, very personal…and maybe even more dangerous. Some would call it obsession.

To understand this, I am going to start from the beginning but before that I want to talk about plagiarism. My understanding of plagiarism is when you take someone’s work and republish it verbatim as your own work. I don’t do that. But if I have ever done that in the past then I apologize…it was an oversight. I do get a lot of original content, way more than any other blogger in this country. Some of the biggest news stories in this country in recent times was broken by LIB. From Goldie’s death (God rest her soul) Aluu4, ABSU rape, P-Square saga, Solomon Akiyesi and plenty more. And when I take news from other sources, I always credit them. When I don’t give credit is when the news is everywhere so I write it in my own words and make it mine. I don’t believe that is a crime. I admit that I have used photos without giving credit. I apologize. That will never happen again. You learn every day. And I have learnt from this.

Now about Mr Aye Dee. Let me start from the very beginning so you guys understand what really happened. Please read more.

Like I said earlier, this was not about copyright or plagiarism. It was personal. Very personal. In 2009 or 2010…(not sure) a guy named Alex who used to run 1976AD blog contacted me. He said he was impressed with my work and wanted to encourage me to never relent. Alex Info 1976AD (how I knew him back then) and I became very good friends online. In fact he was my confidant. Every time I had questions or challenges, I would reach out to him. By 2011, Alex 1976AD and I became quite close…online. We even exchanged numbers and spoke a few times. He always reminded me how proud of me he was. He told me I would one day become a phenomenon. I wasn’t number one at the time but he told me that I would one day be the biggest news site in Nigeria…that he believed in me that much. He was my friend, my supporter; he sent me news to post on my blog. He wanted me to succeed. He told me things to do to get more readers. He knew a lot about the internet and how it works so I always went to him for advice. He was my anchor.

In 2011, Alex 1976AD made me his blog’s Person of the Year 2011. I shared that post excitedly on my blog. He said I was the most deserving Nigerian for the award that year…and he wrote the most beautiful article about me. He was so proud of me…and never hesitated to tell me. I was grateful. I was happy to have him as a friend.

Then we stopped talking. I sincerely can’t remember when exactly. I know that Alex 1976AD tried to reach out to me mid last year…but I can’t remember if I responded. If I didn’t, it was an oversight. I’m really bad at replying mails because I get so many and I’m always busy blogging…but anyway.

Yesterday around 2.07pm…my long lost friend Alex Info 1976AD contacted me via gmail chat. I was so happy when I saw his name pop up. I was like yay…Alex 1976AD! He would know what I should do in this situation. I thought he was reaching out to me after all this while because he’d seen all the craziness going on and wanted to lend support…but what he said to me next shocked me to my bone marrow. He said ‘I hope u’re sitting down’. Thankfully I was because I would have literally fallen if I hadn’t been sitting.

You see, my good friend and biggest supporter Alex 1976AD told me he was Mr Aye Dee. The same guy who started this. The guy that got Google to shut down my blog. It wasn’t about plagiarism or copyright infringement…it was about a scorned former friend. It was about love turning to hate because he felt I’d abandoned him after I became big. Please patiently read our chat below…

His last chat to me before yesterday was 12th of May 2013…
