SOME FACTS ABOUT SUGAR!!

Some of us have a love affair with sugar.  It's a fact...so take a good grip of these facts and determine for yourself how much or how sweet sugar really is:

• Sugar can supress the immune system
• Sugar can cause juvenile delinquency in children
• Sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, inability to concentrate and crankiness in children
• Sugar can increase reactive oxygen species (ROS), which damage cells and tissues
• Sugar can lead to ovarian cancer
• Sugar can cause osteoporosis
• Sugar can cause arthritis
• Sugar can lead to alcoholism
• Sugar can cause to tooth decay
• Sugar can cause vericose veins
• Sugar can cause hemorrhoids
• Sugar can cause toxemia during pregnancy
• Sugar can increase cholesterol
• Sugar can contribute to diabetes
• Sugar can cause cataracts
• Sugar can ruin the sex life of both men and women by turning off the gene that controls the sex hormones
• Sugar can cause obesity
• Sugar cause inflammation

Now this is just a handful of reasons why sugar is not the best thing for our bodies.  Sugar is naturally found in various foods, but to keep the shelf life of certain items more sugar and even sodium are added.  When we consume these goods any number of things can happen (all in the bad sense) when coupled with inactivity, genetics, lifestyle, sleep and a number of other factors. 

Some time ago, our society was made up of mostly slender people.  Overweight people stood out amongst the crowd.  Now the reverse is true, it is especially sad when we are facing an obesity epidemic in children.  People are claiming to be "born fat" these days...it has nothing to do with what they're putting in their bodies or their lifesyles in general, but soley to do with genetics.  Which in my opinion is vastly incorrect.  We may not be able to change our height or the color of our skin or eyes...but because your mom/dad died with high blood pressure issues, obesity related problems including cholesterol etc, doesn't mean you have to.  Change is necessary sometimes to carry on a species.  In our case it's absolutely true.

Think about your choices and when you choose something rich in sugar also think of the consequences your body will then have to face.
