Do you look forward to all the holiday treats, or do you cringe at the thought of all the sugary desserts? Does your willpower need a boost into overdrive?

I must say that I'm finding this time a year especially challenging. But, what keeps my willpower the strongest is the understanding I've gained about just how bad refined sugar is for us.

Did you know that refined processed sugar is a toxin in our bodies?


Here is more unnerving information about refined sugar.

• The American Dietetic Association and American Diabetic Association agree that sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease.

• Global refined sugar consumption continues to increase by 2% per year, and the average American consumes 2-3 pounds of sugar a week.

• Refined sugar is extremely addictive and is considered by some health professionals to be as addictive as cocaine.

• Refined sugar is devoid of minerals, vitamins, fiber, and has a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system.

• Refined sugar weakens the immune system.

• Refined sugar can upset the body's mineral balance.

• Refined sugar contributes to diabetes.

• Refined sugar can cause organ damage and heart disease.

• Refined sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, depression, concentration difficulties, and moodiness in children and adults.

• Refined sugar can cause eczema, allergies, food intolerances, hormone problems, headaches, weight gain, tooth decay, high blood pressure, low blood pressure, high cholesterol, candida yeast problems and more. These are just a few of the problems caused by refined sugar.

Quotes...

Author of Sugar Blues, Willaim Dufty writes:

“Today, pioneers of orthomolecular psychiatry... have confirmed that mental illness is a myth and that emotional disturbances can be merely the first symptom of the obvious inability of the human system to handle the stress of sugar dependency.”
