1 Sugar and Artificial Sweeteners The Sweet Poisons
2 1 Did you know? Sugar represents 20-25% of the daily caloric intake of the average American Average per person annual consumption of sugar is 152 pounds Consuming one Coke is equal to 10 teaspoons of sugar High sugar intake is linked with increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease and cancer Excessive sugar is one of the main causes of premature aging Sugar damages the collagen in skin, cartilage, and ligaments Sugars promotes loss of elasticity in the skin creating wrinkles and sagging
3 2 Accelerated aging from sugar causes hardening of the arteries and stiffening of the joints Carbonated soft drinks are the largest source of refined sugar in the American diet Low-fat foods use all kinds of sweeteners to enhance flavor One teaspoon of sugar can shut down your immune system for 8 hours Sugar is the cocaine of the food world White sugar is a refined and processed sweetener adding nothing but calories and taste to food. When you eat foods with refined sugar content like sodas, candy bars, desserts, pastries, high carb goodies, you totally upset the blood sugar balance in your body. This triggers the release of insulin, which the body uses to regulate blood sugar levels and keep them at safe levels. When insulin levels spike up, they quickly crash. This leaves you feeling sleepy and probably hungry again. This leads to more snacking and craving more sweet treats. Then you overeat because you are not really hungry which, of course, leads to weight gain. It s a vicious cycle! This is why you should seek different kinds of snacks like fruits, nuts, or things made from whole grains. These are slow-burning carbs that also contain vitamins and fiber, and they will give you a consistent source of energy without the sugar meltdown. After eating refined sugars or carbs, you typically feel a high, only to be followed by fatigue, irritability, and poor concentration, or the low. When sugars are rapidly absorbed into the bloodstream causing the spike in blood sugar levels, the insulin rushes in and shoos the sugars into cells to be stored as you guessed it FAT! The vicious cycle you get caught in can lead to obesity, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and diabetes.
4 3 High refined sugar sources to watch for Sweets and desserts Candy Sodas Fruit-flavored beverages Breakfast cereals Condiments Pasta sauces Canned fruits and vegetables Frozen meals Nutrition bars Flavored yogurt Vitamin drinks Chocolate anything Peanut butter Salad dressings Hot dogs Sneaky sugar aliases Cane crystals Corn sweetener Maltodextrin (corn syrup solid) Rice syrup Corn syrup High-fructose corn syrup Sucrose
5 4 Fructose Glucose Dehydrated cane juice Lactose Become a sugar detective by reading all labels. You will find most processed foods contain one or more of these sugars in the ingredient list. Here s a tip in searching for sugar code words The words syrup, sweetener, or anything ending in ose can be assumed to be sugar. Refined sugar has been linked to disorders Obesity Diabetes Insomnia Hypertension Asthma Tooth decay Cardiovascular disease Mood swings ADD/ADHD
6 5 Arthritis Gall stones Acne Depression Dry, aged skin Heart palpitations Indigestion Lack of concentration Chronic fatigue Anxiety Vitamin B deficiency Cravings for more sugar Can I still use artificial sweeteners? After all, they say they have no calories! NO, NO, A THOUSAND TIMES NO!! I could write a thesis on the dangers of artificial sweeteners. There is a HUGE misconception about them. People think they will satisfy their sweet tooth and minimize the hazards of high sugar intake by using them. But, the truth is they are life-threatening. Let s take a closer look at some of the popular brands on the market Aspartame: Aspartame is thought to be the most dangerous of all the artificial sweeteners out there. It contains methanol, a serious metabolic poison. Your body converts it to the deadly poison formaldehyde (embalming fluid) which attacks your central nervous system and every organ in your body. Aspartame is a very threatening neurotoxin! It is sold under the names of NutriSweet Equal Spoonful
7 6 Benevia NutraTaste AminoSweet (the latest marketing con) Equal-Measure Neotame (altered aspartame formula, even more deadly) Aspartame is a genetically engineered chemical, originally produced for use as a fire ant poison. Adverse reactions and side effects Predominant role in creating neurodegenerative or neurocarcinogenic diseases Can instigate tumor generation, especially glioblastomas, aggressive brain tumors Its excitotoxic stimulation can develop manifestations of Parkinson s disease, ALS, and MS Damages fetal nervous system development from maternal ingestion Injures brain, retina, and other organs long after exposure due to accumulation Triggers systemic lupus Changes the brain chemistry and can cause severe seizures Causes birth defects Causes carbohydrate and sweet cravings, making you fat Especially deadly for diabetics because it keeps blood sugar out of control Can cause coma Can cause severe aggressive behavior Aggravates respiratory allergies such as asthma And this is an abbreviated list! Avoid at all costs. Saccharin: Saccharin is sulfa-based, making it risky for those with a sulfa allergy. There is no longer a warning label on foods containing Saccharin, making it that much more dangerous. It is a coal tar made by combining anthranilic acid (a corrosive agent for metal) with nitrous acid, sulfur dioxide, chlorine, and ammonia. You heard right CHLORINE and AMMONIA. Sounds more like a household cleaner, yet millions consume it every day. It used to carry a warning label saying it caused bladder cancer in rats. The FDA removed the warning a few years ago saying the cancer in rats doesn t cause cancer in humans. Huh? Doesn t pass my sniff test for safety. And what about the allergic reactions?! Things like headaches, breathing issues, skin rashes, and diarrhea. Worst yet, it is still being added to some infant formulas! Plus, it raises insulin levels creating a risk for obesity and diabetes.
8 7 It is sold under the names of Sweet & Low Sweet Twin Necta Sweet Saccharin is a chemical. There is nothing natural about it. Just say NO and step away. Sucralose: Sucralose is a synthetic chemical that is cooked up in a laboratory. Chlorine molecules are added to a sugar molecule. This chemical process alters the sugar so much that it becomes a substance no longer occurring in nature which your body is not able to metabolize. It is because of the inability to metabolize that the manufacturer can claim it has zero calories. Studies show that 15% of sucralose is stored in the body. Remember, it is a synthetic chemical which makes it a toxin to the body. It bears more chemical similarity to the pesticide DDT than it does to sugar. DDT can remain in your body for decades and have devastating effects. Adverse reactions and side effects: Gastrointestinal problems Seizures, dizziness and migraines Blurred vision Allergic reactions Blood sugar increases and weight gain It is sold under the names of Splenda Sukrana SucraPlus Candys Cukren Nevella The manufacture touts rigorous testing in its marketing pitch to convince the average consumer that sucralose is safe. What they don t tell you is that all the testing is on animals. And really, given how it is made, does this lab-produced chemical sound safe to you? Remember, the manufacturer is raking in hundreds of millions! Of course, they want to fool you into thinking it is safe. Don t be fooled.
9 8 Acesulfame K: Acesulfame K causes cancer and chronic respiratory disease in animals, and these results were ignored by the FDA. It is a known carcinogen, or cancer causing agent, called Methylene Chloride. So why did the FDA approve this chemical killer? Could it be they are in bed with the manufacturer over money?
10 9 Adverse reactions and side effects: Headaches Depression Nausea Mental confusion Liver damage Kidney damage It is sold under the names of Sunett Sweet One Sweet & Safe It is hard to say which of these artificial sweeteners is the worst. But what is very clear, given the devastating effects on the body, NONE of them should be on the market for any reason, unless you have some ants to kill. Watch out for the Sugar Free, No Sugar Added ploy! In your rush to do the right thing, you are more than likely consuming artificial sweeteners. Same holds true for the label of Light which means less calories or less sugar but may mean added artificial sweeteners. These labels are all about selling product but have NOTHING to do with being healthy. Where to look for artificial sweeteners Flavored milk products Bread products Juice products Fruit products Dairy products Breakfast products Snack products Over-the-counter medications Mouthwash and toothpastes Chewing gum
11 10 Are there ANY sodas on the market that are safe or healthy to drink? Emphatically, NO. Besides having about 10 teaspoons of sugar, or the sugar-free versions that are loaded with artificial sweeteners, sodas are nothing but a chemical soup of artificial flavorings, dyes, syrups, caffeine, stabilizers, preservatives, and acidifiers. As if that isn t bad enough, they spike your blood sugar, and the liver responds by turning the sugars into fat. They are overall very DEPLETING, leaching valuable minerals and electrolytes from your body. In other words, they suck your body dry of nutrients that are vital. And then you crash and become irritable, needing more soda for another fix. They are diuretic and cause dehydration. Not to mention, they rot your teeth and gut and are extremely acidic to the body, creating the perfect environment for disease to flourish. Eliminate this health-robbing villain from your life for good.
12 11 Are there any healthy and safe sweeteners to consume? YES! Stevia: Stevia is a sweet tasting, natural herb. It has no calories, so is the ideal choice for losing weight and can be safely used in beverages and foods. It is 300 times sweeter than sugar, so only a tiny amount is needed. There is a brand called SweetLeaf that does not use alcohol or chemicals in the extraction process, only water, so look for it in your local health food store. Honey: It needs to be raw honey. The honey in the supermarkets is pasteurized which removes many of the health benefits. So, shop for raw honey at your local health food store. Note: raw honey should not be given to young children due to the risk of botulism spores before the immune system is developed. Maple Syrup: Make sure it is really maple syrup! The commercial brands don t even have any real maple syrup in them. Buy organic, pure maple syrup from your local health food store. It has many health benefits and boosts immunity. Date Syrup or Date Sugar: The real stuff has one ingredient dates! Buy organic from your health food store. It contains lots of minerals and enhances immunity. These are the only sweeteners I feel safe recommending. Use all of them very moderately, as they are still sweet and one way or another, affect blood sugar levels, but they do have value to the body. The objective in your diet is to eat food as close to the way nature made it as possible. Needless to say, refined sugar and artificial sweeteners are HIGHLY PROCESSED while the above sweeteners are nature s whole food.
