Harmful Sweetness Of Refined Sugar

Refined sugar is now firmly entrenched in our lives. In the coffee or tea, we add one or two spoons of sugar, sprinkle the dish while cooking with powdered sugar, or added directly to the cooking process. Even those people who try not to use sugar in its pure form, eat it in huge quantities, such as a bank of carbonated sweet water volume of 0,5 l contains from 7 to 12 tablespoons of sugar in the cup cream 3 to 5 tablespoons. Ordinary person eats average of 60 to 100 kg of sugar per year. Many people believe that sugar is needed for normal activity of the organism, and they are in their own right, needed sugar, but in the natural form, but not this refined carbohydrate Dummy. For thousands of years, sugar was unknown to man, man has lived and evolved without sugar. Forget it, none of the old books, the Koran, New Testament, the I Ching, the Book of Internal Medicine Yellow Emperor, etc.

More than 500 years ago, few people knew about sugar. So, what is refined sugar? White refined sugar that is produced from sugar beets or reed does not contain anything, no vitamins, no protein or fat. It's clean simple carbohydrate, getting in body, it is rapidly converted to glucose without the participation of the digestive system goes into the blood. In the body, it is so quickly absorbed into the bloodstream, it requires an excessive amount of insulin and then leads to a decrease in glucose the blood to dangerously low line, causing the state called hypoglycemia. This state is different in outward manifestation of distress, as the decline of energy, fatigue, weakness, nervousness, wanton depression, etc.

If you analyze your lifestyle, or lifestyle of other people who use sugar in large quantities, you can watch all of these phenomena. There is, at first glance a strange relationship: A person consumes almost kilogram of sugar per week, blood sugar is below normal. But if we consider the process of assimilation of sugar by the body, then all becomes clear. When a person takes a dose of sugar (let's drink a glass of 'Coke'), the pancreas begins to throw out the insulin, lowering blood sugar levels and depleting reserves of glycogen (a source of readily available energy) in the liver, for the normalization of the substance in the body. With decreasing liver glycogen starts to send a signal to the brain in search of help - and "suddenly" have there is a strong desire to eat something sweet. When sugar enters the body again, the cycle repeats. Sugar in the form of glucose supplies the energy the whole body, so its deficiency can weaken any body, primarily the brain, which needs glucose to function properly. The widespread and excessive use of sugar in our time - this is the first cause of many mental and emotional disorders. To obtain the natural sugars can be used sweeteners, such as honey, malt, stevia, etc. Also, complex sugars contained and vegetables, and grains, and the other at first sight (and taste) is not sugary foods. These natural products do not cause similar symptoms, but if they are consumed in excess or permanently, it can cause effects similar to those described above. Do not be fooled by the fact that honey and other sweets are natural and therefore safe, listen to your body, he always knows exactly what and how much he needs to work properly.
