Not long after being enlightened about deli meats I began to study the effects of PROCESSED sugar on our brain, nerves, heart, adrenal glands, hormones, bones, circulatory, digestive and immune systems.
There are lots of great sources out there but one of the books I highly recommend it Sugar Blues.
You can get it for FREE at your public library.
Do you know how many teaspoons of sugar are in one can or bottle of Mt. Dew or Dr. Pepper? If you consume either it will behoove you to find out.
Do you know how to calculate the number of calories in each serving of sugar in any container?
Simply multiply the number of grams X 4.
In other words if there are 25 grams of sugars in a product multiply it by 4 and you get 100, which happens to be the TOTAL daily recommended allowance for ALL sugars consumed in a given day.
Eye opening, isn't it??????
Did you know both ammonia and chlorine bleach are used in the process of making sugar white????? They don't have to tell you because it is part of the PROCESS and not an actual ingredient but every grain of white sugar got to be white because of the process. Have you ever seen a stalk of sugar cane? It is a pale YELLOW and not white.
Think about that one next time you dump white sugar on something you are about to put into your mouth.
