Sugar, you got me wantin’ you
Sugar is not your friend. At least not when it’s in your food.
Here’s what sugar does for you *
- Depletes the body of B vitamins
- Leaches calcium from hair, blood, bones and teeth
- Interferes with the absorption of calcium, protein and other minerals
- Retards growth of valuable intestinal bacteria (the bacteria that aids in digestion by breaking food down)
- Overstimulates and causes dramatic mood swings in children, making them unruly (Marilu calls sugar “kiddie cocaine”)
- Increases opportunities for diabetes, obesity, rheumatism, gout, hypoglycemia, acne, indigestion, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), and even mental illness
- Ferments in the stomach, stopping the secretion of gastric juices and inhibiting the stomach’s ability to digest
In summary? Keep the sugar in your love life, not in your kitchen.
And for those of you who may not know the song this post title is from…
