Cons of Sugar

If you are trying to lose weight don’t eat a lot of sugar. Sugar causes our bodies to stock up on fat. Diabetes is a result of eating too much sugar, so if you don’t want to get diabetes stay away from sugar. Eating too much sugar is also bad for your oral health.

High Fructose Corn Syrup sweetens pop and is used in almost every processed food out there. Corn syrup is a liver toxin, it is metabolized in the body the same way alcohol is. Alcohol is metabolized by the brain so you can see the effects it has. High Fructose Corn syrup is not metabolized by the brain so you don’t realize the effects it has on your body. Drinking a can of pop does the same thing to your stomach that a can of beer does. High Fructose Corn Syrup causes liver disease which raises your cholesterol and deactivates a substance in your body. This substance prevents high blood pressure. When deactivated it causes high blood pressure and you become insulin resistant and develop diabetes.

Sugar can be healthily replaced by an herb called stevia. This herb is two-hundred times sweeter than sugar, but it doesn’t have calories or raise your blood sugar.
