10 Disturbing Reasons Why Sugar is Bad For You

           10 REASONS WHY SUGAR IS BAD FOR YOU

I'm sure you've heard it a thousand times that sugar (white) is bad for you but let me just go over a few of the reasons why it is so unhealthy and why me and my challengers gave it up for 5 days.

1. Sugar has no nutrients and it is bad for your teeth. Added sugar (like sucrose and high fructose corn syrup) contain a whole bunch of calories with NO essential nutrients. That's called "empty" calories.

2. Added Sugar is high in Fructose, which can overload your liver. 

3. Overloading the Liver with fructose can cause Non-Alcoholic Liver Disease. Basically excess fructose gets turned into fat, which can lodge in the liver and cause non-alcoholic fatty liver disease.

4. Sugar can cause Insulin Resistance, a stepping Stone towards Metabolic Syndrome and Diabetes. Our bodies produce insulin in response to glucose and when we eat high levels of glucose it becomes toxic to our bodies and our bodies become "resistant" to the glucose and stop making the insulin. Insulin resistance leads to many disease, such as, metabolic syndrome, obesity, cardiovascular disease and type II diabetes.

5. The Insulin Resistance Can Progress to Type II Diabetes

6.Sugar Can lead to Cancer

Cancer is characterized by uncontrolled growth of cells and Insulin is one of the key hormones in regulating this sort of growth.

7. Due to its Effects on Hormones and the Brain, Sugar has Unique Fat-Promoting Effects

Basically not all calories are created equal. A study shows that when people drink glucose sweetened drinks vs people who drank drinks sweetened with fructose the people who drank glucose stayed satisfied longer. People who drank fructose were drinking again immediately, thus consuming more calories.

8. Because it causes massive Dopamine release in the brain, sugar is HIGHLY ADDICTIVE! DUH Right? Like abusive drugs, sugar causes a release of dopamine in the reward center of the brain. "The everything in moderation message may be a bad idea for people who are ADDICTED to junk food...because the ONLY THING that works for true addiction is abstinence." HELLO WHAT HAS LORI BEEN SAYING?

9. Sugar is a leading contributor to obesity in both children and adults

10. It ain't the Fat...It's Sugar that raises your cholesterol and gives you Heart Disease. Heart disease is the #1 Killer in the world and saturated fat has been blamed for years for causing it, but recent studies show that the harmful effects of fructose on metabolism maybe a bigger factor.
