 Children can collect enough candy in one evening to roll around in it on the living room floor, bartering their boring candy corns for something good like Skittles (yet another form of sugar and artificial color additives). Our free market market economy has worked wonders. Truly; it's amazing! |
| Check out my bulging sugar sack...
So now Halloween arrives, and guess what? Tens of millions of children are running around the streets of the United States, tramping door to door with crinkled paper sacks and noisy plastic bags, dressed like the walking dead and begging for candy. Ever wonder what's in the candy, exactly? |

 According to systemic memory theory, the answer is clearly no. The sugar crystals not only still exist, but they have evolved to include info-energy about water!
Can we prove this? Easily. All we have to do is allow the water to evaporate. As the water "disappears," what do we see? The sugar crystals "reappear," again as if by magic. This experiment is completely replicable; the implications are both reassuring and revealing. The sugar crystals that reappear tell us that the sugar was never lost, the sugar was simply extended in the water temporarily. |

 The way I see it, there are some foods that bring you into balance, and there are other foods and food ingredients that take you out of balance. sugar is quite obviously one of the ingredients that takes you out of balance. Even one teaspoon of sugar a day or one teaspoon a week takes you out of balance from what would have otherwise been a perfectly healthy day or week. The sugar industry says there's no such thing an unhealthy food... |

 Fruit—and juice, especially—carries a high sugar content, and consuming too much of it rapidly raises the blood sugar. The body compensates to the sugar high with a surge of insulin from the pancreas—and the insulin, in turn, stimulates the liver to manufacture more cholesterol.1 It may also elevate triglyceride levels. Be careful of sugar-laden desserts, which can have the same effect.
5. Beverages. Water, seltzer water (try adding a small amount of fruit juice to boost flavor), milk, oat milk, no-fat soy milk, coffee, and tea. And alcohol is just fine, in moderation. |

 For example, a manufacturer may use a combination of sucrose, high-fructose corn syrup, corn syrup solids, brown sugar, dextrose and other sugar ingredients to make sure none of them are present in large enough quantities to attain a top position on the ingredients list (remember, the ingredients are listed in order of their proportion in the food, with the most common ingredients listed first).
This fools consumers into thinking the food product isn't really made mostly of sugar while, in reality, the majority ingredients could all be different forms of sugar. |

 Sugar Shock! (available to order now at Amazon.com, ships Dec. 26) and founder of the SugarShock.com website, had great empathy for Santa's condition and his ever-present temptations. To help him out, she plans to give him some tried-and-true tips and tactics to help him kick his sugar habit. In addition, she is giving him a Christmas gift -- copies of her sugar Shock! book for him and all his elves.
"Santa, I know how enticing all those cookies can be, but you need to focus on your long-term goals," Connie says. |

 Aside from starving tumors, eating foods low in sugar and avoiding simple carbs will also keep your weight in check while helping prevent blood sugar disorders such as type-2 diabetes.
What to avoid on the labels: high-fructose corn syrup, sugar, sucrose, enriched bleached flour, white rice, white pastas, white breads and other "white" foods.
The dangers of hydrogenated oils
Hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils -- another danger -- are developed from otherwise harmless, natural elements. To make them hydrogenated, oils are heated in the presence of hydrogen and metal catalysts. |

 The extreme stress of repeated sugar spikes exhausts and ages your body at a much faster than normal rate. Being able to balance glucose levels helps stop this damaging cycle. Interestingly enough, lowering plasma insulin levels also tends to lower body temperature and increase DHEA levels (both anti-aging markers), indicating that lowering the insulin response (which Glucotor is now proven to do) may be a prime factor in slowing down the aging process.
Optimizing carbohydrate metabolism helps to offset aging in a way similar to a low calorie diet. |
| This is hardly surprising, though, when you consider that virtually every packaged food contains several kinds of sugar disguised in ingredient lists as sucrose, corn syrup, fructose, and even caramel color.
As you may, or may not, know, all foods must be converted into glucose before they can be used as fuel. You have a safety mechanism to ensure that your glucose level remains relatively balanced. It works like this.
If your levels fall too low, then your brain triggers you to feel hungry, so you eat food that is turned into glucose. |

 This processed-food diet often consists of highly preserved bread products, doughnuts, prepackaged coffee cakes, and cereals laden with sugar for breakfast. (Think of it: one bowl of Cocoa Puffs has the same amount of sugar as a 50-gram bag of Hershey's Kisses, and a bowl of Corn Pops is the sugar equivalent of eating a Kit Kat bar.) Chips, multi-dye-colored cheese Goldfish, and pretzels in foil-lined bags, along with processed meats, fill the typical lunch box. |

 They don't blow away their ears with loud music; they don't destroy their sense of taste by overloading it with salt and sugar. They certainly don't wear a lot of perfumes and cologne, because people also dumb down their senses through the sense of smell. |

 Newman: Yes, corn syrup and actual sugar is listed on the label. I couldn't believe it.
Mike: Why does your dog need sugar? Amazing...
Newman: He doesn't need sugar. He wants a good-tasting, highly palatable food that tastes like meat. That is what he's looking for.
Mike: There was a popular brand treat I bought at a big pet store. I'm not going to mention the name, but I bought this to do an article on it. The ingredients blew me away. Not only was there sugar, it had propylene glycol and artificial colors. |

 Perhaps there could be some miraculous warping of reality where a product is made from sugar water but has none of the negative health effects of sugar water. And I am sure that that is what will be claimed by the legal team of Ross Products, the manufacturer of Ensure, if they were to see this article and disagree with the educated opinions I have expressed here.
Personally, I wouldn't drink a bottle of Ensure for any amount of money. You couldn't PAY me to put this stuff into my body. |

 Somewhat shorter strings of sugar also occur in nature. They are not as stiff as cellulose, but they too can be usefully sticky.
Wheat paste is the most familiar example of a shorter sugar polymer glue (microwaved instant oatmeal may be a close runner-up). A variety of different plant-derived, sugar-based polymers are exploited commercially for their gluelike qualities. Despite their pedestrian applications as fillers, sizing agents, and binders, these materials have exotic names such as gum tra-gacanth, gum arabic, and gum karaya. |

 I remember my mom didn't let me have sugar. Once, we got this sugar cereal. Normally, a kid is like, "Sugar!" and they're happy. I remember sitting over this bowl of smushberry or something, and just wanting to throw up. I was supposed to carry on with this daily routine after what had just happened, and I'm sitting over this food and part of my feeling was wanting to throw up, part of it was, "What's the use of eating?" It was hopeless. "What's the point of living? What's the point of me going on?"
After what just happened, I had no desire to eat and I was so sick, and it was like, "eek! |

 You know, having diabetes is like having to treat your body like a temple, not an amusement park.... Diabetes is no joke. It is a silent killer. You don't feel sick. You don't feel anything. You think you're all that and think you can eat a Snickers bar—but it will kick you in the butt the next morning. You really have to check yourself before you wreck yourself."

Their thesis, based on previous work, was that it is largely the glucose content of the diet that raises blood glucose. |

| Often, a desire for sweets in the evening is actually a signal that you need fluids," she says.
If water isn't satisfying enough, nutritionist Shari Lieberman, Ph.D., C.N.S., F.A.C.N., suggests making your own fruit water. "Just cut up some strawberries, blueberries, an orange, or a piece of kiwi fruit and then let them sit in the water for a while so you get some of the flavor. And in the winter, you can drink vegetable and chicken broth," says Dr. Lieberman, author of Dare to Lose.
"But don't drink extremely sweet beverages such as diet sodas. |
| Or, to put it another way, your body's metabolism gets ramped up on refined carbs because you're putting in a bunch of low-quality fuel that has no vitamins, nutrients, minerals, and antioxidants."
How are processed grains similar to low-grade fuel? Well, those refined carbs are turned into glucose more quickly, meaning that your body doesn't need to work so hard to break down and digest them, because, as Dr. Wil-lett has explained, machinery has already done the work for you during processing. |
| High-fructose corn syrup is not from fruit, it's a starch; it does not exist in nature (it's chemically refined to an artificial hydrocarbon); and it's therefore not recognized by the body."
In addition, people need to know, the source says, that "sucrose is recognized by the body and converted to blood glucose. |

| I say there's no such thing as a healthy person who eats any amount of sugar, because consuming sugar in any form, in any quantity, takes you away from the health you could otherwise experience.
What will future historians think of all this?
I think someday the history books will look back with great curiosity at our modern society. |
