Sugar: A Health Danger

[1 2 free]

SUGAR : A HEALTH DANGER !

The largest selling drug addiction in the world is refined white sugar. It has no food value and contains no nutritional value. White is an empty carbohydrate of no value. Be Warned against sugar consumption.

- By Maneka Gandhi.( Eminent Animal Activist and Member of Parliament)

I stand for election from a sugarcane belt and once a year when the cane is sold to the sugar factories, the smell for miles around is unbearable. This smell pervades western UttarPradesh, making it difficult for anyone to live anywhere near a factory. I used to wonder why and so I started looking at what went into this production and found so many chemicals added in the processing.

In the process of making sugar from both cane and beets, they are heated and calcium hydroxide ( lime) which is toxin to the body, is added. This is done to remove those ingredients in the natural sugarcane that interfere with the complete processing of sugar. Carbon dioxide, which is another toxin, is then used to remove the lime and a lot of it remains in the sugar itself.

The sugar turns from a sticky black substance to a clear juice which is heated to remove other impurities. The sugar is then bleached white with a chemical solution that uses Pork by-products ( blood albumin and/or animal charcoal). The sugar is processed at least 3 times before it is in the form that we would normally use and by that time it no longer resembles a food, and is now an artificial substance.

Sugar is used for different purposes . There is the grade that is commonly used foe table sugar. Then there is the grade used in processed food ( such as cakes, ice-cream, candy and soft drinks). Sugar is also used for non food purposes such as making plastic, cement mixing , and leather tanning . You can make glue, for instance , by mixing table sugar along with white flour. Imagine what the combination dose in your stomach -your intestines get glued shut !

The chemicals used in sugar processing (phosphoric acid, acid calcium phosphate and others ) are potent and health- debilitating. Sugar has a tremendous amount of carbonic acid which disturbs the the nutritional balance in the body. Sugar robs the body or almost all nutrients, especially the minerals chromium, zinc and calcium , and vitamins C and B-complex

Sugar destroys food digestion enzymes in the mouth, stomach, the small intestine and the pancreas. It also reduces the amount of hydrochloric acid ( a necessary digestive acid) in the stomach . Without enough hydrochloric acid, the food isn't broken down properly. Therefore, we cannot properly absorb the nutrient and we will have frequent bouts of constipation.

ANTI-DIGESTIVE SUGAR

Sugar interferes with activities of the small intestine which digests the food . The small intestine pushes the waste along and , most importantly, releases the nutrients in the food to give us energy and nourish cells. But when we eat sugar , digestion is disturbed.

Consequently ,the amount of food nutrients available to the body are limited. I addition to this , sugar is released into the blood.

This toxifies the blood and puts too much carbon in it which further damages the body cells. Since there is no real nutrition in sugar , it represents a toxic waste material in the body will try to get rid of. The lymphatic system will grab some of this waste in an attempt to purify the blood. When the lymphatic system becomes overloaded, health problems occur, which could have been avoided.

Too much sugar, salt and starch can work together to create an excessive appetite. These food cravings creates an imbalance in the body.

Sugar moves very slowly out of the stomach . This creates over-acidic conditions in the stomach which influence the secretion of enzymes and hydrochloric acids to help digest our food. This over-acidic condition also affects the entire body.

SOME SWEET FACTS

Diseases such as cancer, diabetes, high blood pressure and others are the result of eating too many highly acidic foods . How many pounds of sugar do you consume annually? A person who does not take sugar in his tea, may not be aware of the rest. Sugar is hidden in many foods such as cereals , ketchup, canned foods , frozen foods , etc.

I n fact, almost 70% of the sugar that we consume is hidden in foods . For instance , a typical 12-ounce soda contains 10 teaspoonfuls of sugar. The typical candy bar is almost all sugar . Pizza has the great sugar -flour mix which is probably why it is so sticky . The sweetness of pizza is hidden by putting in a lot of salt and other ingredients which give a semisweet taste.

Wow. What a list! I've been avoiding sugar for a few months now, and i can tell you that my body feels much better than what it was! :)

[lookfar]

Arrgghh what a scary list!!!:eek: OMG I'm not sure how I'd cope without my chocolate & cake fix now & then!! :o

Seriously though, I do understand how bad sugar is for us & I really need to cut down on my intake. I looked into Stevia as an alternative a while back, but we can't get it in the UK, it's illegal or some bollox (hey what a surprise!!):mad:

Thanks for sharing 1 2 free :)

[notaslave]

This is excellent information. I cut out sugar in hot drinks many years ago not for health but because I went off it. I cant stand sugar in my coffee any more.
The problem is I still have to have a daily hit of sugar, I crave it like I crave a cigarette. Because of this I always have sweets in the house.
I was told that if you cut sugar out of your diet then you would get tired and generally ill and so this daily eating boiled sweets I thought was actually beneficial lol.
But maybe I should try to cut it down.
Thanks for posting the info.

Does this account for natural brown sugar?

Also, does organic sugar get processed the same way?

Good question......i would like to know that answer too...... i've been using organic sugar for a couple of years now.... i think it probably reduces the effects compared to non-organic sugar, but probably is still very bad for the body....

Sugar is very addictive. Apparently one of the most addictive substances their is, more addictive than cocaine. This is why it's put into everything often in a number of different forms. I gave up sugar seven or eight months ago and I can assure you that I don't feel tired in fact I have as much (if not more) energy than before and I'm certainly a lot healthier too.

I've only just started researching into this. I read an article and I was stunned about how little I knew about all the effects of sugar. This was long after I'd given it up. I gave up because I watched Dr Lorraine Day's 'Diseases Don't Just Happen' and she was talking about sugar (including honey) stopping our immune systems from working properly.

I don't have the answers to your questions but I shall keep looking an post up what I find out.

[klinker]

Excellent. Another subject close to my heart for a number of years now.

Sugar, regardless of where it comes from, is poison to the human body. Keeping your daily intake of carbs to an average of 40 grams or less will greatly assist your health in many many ways.

We have been lied to on a massive scale regarding this over the past 30 years or so regarding the so called low fat balanced diet. It is designed to create ill health and death from disease.

Some interesting books which also include scientific reference material.

Life without bread - Christopher Allen and Wolfgang Lutz
Eat fat get thin - Dr Barry Groves (Natural health and weight loss)
Ultimate Diet Secrets - Dr Greg Ellis
The Cholesterol Myths - Uffe Ravnskov, MD, PHD

Ok so if we're going to stretch the imagination that far then let's be sensible about it and think of sugar as malicious software/matrix code. If you allow it into your system it will infect you with bugs and mess up your system.

BUT....The general population, especially in the western world, has been conditioned to believe over the last 30 odd years that a low fat and by default high carb diet is good for you therefore the argument that sugar will only harm you if you believe it will does not work does it? People believe they are eating the right way yet cancer, obesity, heart disease along with many more diseases are on the increase from this so called balanced diet which is supposed to protect us.

yes but....only because they believe they can get cancer in the first place!! Through conditioning throughout peoples lives from all directions in all forms we have been conditioned to beleive that we are all capable of getting cancers, obesity and heart disease that along with all the crap they ARE spoon feeding us in the way of our diets and messing with our bodies with man-made drugs etc....they enforce the beleif that we can get cancer etc....so we end up believeing we are 'powerless' to stop these things from happening and in that belief we allow cancers etc to manifest themselves!! we all listen to the health warnings etc and when we are told we are at risk from all these things we then believe it and allow it to become a reality!! i will never get cancer because i flat out refuse to believe its possible- im a holographic illusion....but i cant prove this yet- you'll have to wait till ive lived a long life first!! but i know i wont get it- coz it doesnt enter into my reality!!

The point is that people actually believe they will NOT get cancer or heart disease if they follow the balanced low fat high carb diet as prescribed by so called health practitioners. Despite having this belief these diseases are the number one killer in the western world. Therefore on that basis of belief we should not be seeing these diseases.

On the basis of belief why are we still being harmed? If this is to be believed then there is a difference between the physical and the mental and this subject matter would imho fall into the physical.

Don't forget we are talking about energy here and from that perspective consuming 'bad' energy is detrimental to your health whether you believe it or not.

I'm with you on this Lottie, it's all about what you believe and have been told we could get from the medical profession. More illness, more money for them:mad:
Anyhow, come 2012 I feel our bodies will be less dense, so physical illnesses won't come into it!;)

but we are still in the mindset that we are capable of getting cancers and heart disease regardless of following the correct dietry info etc.... we are all told by 'trusted' scientists and governments (who the majority hold in high respect' if we follow the dietry guidelines we may not get cancers/CHD! or it will reduce the chances of getting cancers & CHD. Our subconscious picks up on those words where as we dont- we carry on thinking- well im doing all i can to lead a healthy lifestyle so 'hopefully' i'll be ok in the future but 'hopefully' allows the possibility for the 'unfortunate' to happen....
its like when we see health warnings on tobacco products 'smoking MAY cause or CAN cause cancer' we dont pick up on those words we just take the 'smoking-causes-cancer' , we are all still in the mindset that cancers can happen to anyone anywhen even if they lead a relatively healthy lifestyle because we believe cancers are a reality and that they dont judge who they attack they 'just' occour, in peoples subconscious they have accepted that one day cancer MAY occour in them so this reality creates it because they gave way to the possibility in early life- through conditioning and life experience!
i agree where you are coming from jeff....ive been pondering this one for over a year now!!!

I am starting to think that any substance will only affect you negatively if you believe it will

That may well be true but it's really down to whether your mind is capable of breaking programming enough for you to be able to eat what you like. I mean theoritically walls don't exist so you should be able to walk through them. But if you're still unable to walk through walls then I'd take an interest into what you put into your body as it won't just effect your health, it effects your connection to everything and therefore your spiritual change. 2012 is gonna be a lot easier with a healthy body and indeed a healthy mind which is directly linked to a healthy body.

[i am all i am]

If the mind can overcome all physical effects of what you eat, what is the point to eating ???

Does this mean that you could live on eating faeces and drinking urine of animals and survive because you believed it ???

By choosing to feed the body with something, you are accepting what that something is. What it is has nothing to do with your belief system. This something has an inherent signature frequency that is emitted by the DNA and is a constant pulse being emitted. Until you change that signature frequency, you will be effected by the pulse that it is emitting.

This could be why it is said that what you eat you become, or you are what you eat.

Now, having said that, I also believe that your body can break down the chemical structures/chains that create the substance and therefore render it harmless to the body. In effect this would be altering the signature frequency. You can think of it similar to a song. You do not get the full effect of a song when you only hear the individual parts that make it up, eg. vocals, guitar, piano, etc., as compared to listening to the song in its complete form with all parts being played simultaneously.

So what is the point of eating ???

Well, for me personally, it is to feed the body the chemical nutrients that allow it to function and sustain itself indefinitely.

Now you could go into which frequency of foods relate to which parts of the body. For instance...

http://img.alibaba.com/photo/50371868/Head_Cut_Carrots.jpg

When the carrot is cut it can be seen to look similar to an eye, that is, a circle within a circle. It has been shown that carrots contain nutrients that are beneficial for the eyes.

'Signs in Nature' is a term that has been used to understand what is beneficial for the body by the shape of the food, which is determined by its signature frequency.

Here's another one for you...the walnut has a hard outer shell and four parts to it, it also looks like a brain. Well, it has been shown that there is an oil in the walnut that helps to improve the synapses between the left and right lobes of the brain.

If you are looking for foods for mental enhancement, give this a go...

Equal parts of walnuts, cashews, macadamias and rolled oats.

Food for thought huh !!!

I understand what you are saying, however........:)

My little dog once ate rat poison. I am sure she didn't THINK it might hurt her. It just looked, smelt and tasted good and it nearly killed her (would have in fact if I had not seen her with the residue around her mouth and got her to a vet immediately)

Imo you are putting poison into your body and what you believe or do not believe is not going to stop the damage you are doing to your body.

I don't get colds or flu because I don't give them energy but that is a whole different thing to ingesting a poison cocktail.

People who drink Diet Coke actually believe it is better for them so why are so many getting diseases that can be directly attributed to aspartame?

People believe that a low fat, high carb diet is healthy. Why are so many then suffering from diseases that this is supposed to stop?

[lightbeing]

Who's for a nice healthy BigMac?!!;):D:D

No seriously, I wouldn't say eat a load of rat poison & think I would be fine, but this sugar thing just seems another form of control and telling us what to eat.
I still watch what I eat and try to be healthy, but I am less strict now, I feel alot of it is a 'mindset'.:)

No one is telling you what to eat. It's information. Do with it what you like. There's no agenda behind it that I can see. The fact that it's so massively suppressed should show you that. The agenda is to feed people addictive substances that destroy their health. That's where the money and the control is.

G'day Lightbeing.

Actually the burger buns are full of sugar. There is so much sugar in the burger buns that if you took the pickle off the junior burger it would be classed as confectionary.

I've also heard that their 'fries' are soaked in sugared water. It not only makes them crispier, it also makes them addictive.

G'day Lightbeing.

I've seen the same process described in a cookbook about soaking the cut potato in cold water then drying them out before cooking, although without the sugar. It is supposed to make them crispier.

I used to eat junkfood constantly and didn't know how to cook. More than eight years later now, I can say that I haven't missed it at all. I eat organic food, mostly cooked, although some things are obviously raw, and love getting in the kitchen and cooking. I have even made a couple of recipes up myself.

Because of a physical condition, I don't get around much, but because of what and how I now eat, I am looking as physically fit as I did as a teenager without any exercise routine, etc., and I am loving it. My two cents worth is, go natural to be natural !!!

It's true. I used to work in a pub last year making them, once they were cut we left them to soak in water for an hour. When you cook them they taste great! :)

Ahhhhh, good old pub food. Soaked in tap water for the extras that it contains.

Yes, it was good old tap water. :mad:

If i was to make them again, it would have to be the clean stuff. :)

I walked out after 2 days. They shouldn't have pissed me off!

I remember a friend working in a pub in London for a little over two quid an hour. It was about 90-100 quid a week, plus free board and one meal a day. What a fucking rip-off. You could make more money doing a masturbation act on a street corner in Peckham than that.

I am starting to think that any substance will only affect you negatively if you believe it will, that being our bodies are a holographic representation of ourselves. Over to you Lottie for more on this.........:)

I think it's true that changing belief changes how the body functions, BUT it seems to be very, very difficult to change beliefs and it's probably because the beliefs are to a very large part subconscious and very, very deep.

I have cut down on my sugar consumption. Maybe it's possible to eat a lot of sugar if only eaten now and then. It's probably the daily high dose of refined sugar that is most harmful.

[infinitetruth]

i don't eat junk food, nor do I usually eat packaged food of any kind with more than one ingredient. I stay away from sugar and use honey instead. I try to stay away from white flour as much as possible.
But focusing on one food group like sugar is pointless - yes sugar is in many foods people consume and unless you cut out all processed food you won't be able to get away from it. However, there are thousands of chemicals in our foods, toiletries and cleaning products. I stay away from most of it. The only thing I have left to sort out is the water and I'm not sure whether to get a filter or not.

If you want to know how to live without this chemical crap PM me and I will give you a few names of places that can cater for your needs. You only realise how much it is affecting your life until you give it up.

That may be true but I didn't even know half of the things that were affecting me negatively, but they still had an effect. We have to give our bodies a fighting chance and give it the respect it deserves. Pumping it full of crap everyday isn't going to do you any good. But if your relatively healthy and consume healthy non-chemical foods then a little bad stuff on the odd occasion probably won't effect you. I've seen people die and grow ill too many times over what they consume, and they still have no clue that, that is what's causing it. They believe their doctors crap that it's 'genetic' and they are powerless to change that.

Time to lift up the sugar thread...

I suppose most of us eat too much sugar. I do :o

Very interesting article!
