See article keywords and concepts |  That means eating unprocessed foods and avoiding all white flour, white sugar and other added sugars. It means avoiding all chemical additives such as saccharin, aspartame, monosodium glutamate and artificial colors.
It means turning to whole food sources such as whole grains, beans and legumes, nuts, seeds, fresh vegetables, fresh fruits and superfoods. When you choose these as your food sources, you are fortifying your body with the vitamins, minerals, healthy oils, fiber and other nutrients it needs to boost its immune system function and fight off the flu. |
by Michael Murray, N.D. and Joseph Pizzorno, N.D.
See book keywords and concepts | | The major disaccharides are sucrose, also known as white sugar, which is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of fructose; maltose, which is composed of two molecules of glucose; and lactose, which is composed of one molecule of glucose and one molecule of galactose.
Glucose is not particularly sweet-tasting compared to fructose and sucrose. It is found in abundant amounts in fruits, honey, sweet corn, and most root vegetables. Glucose is also the primary repeating sugar unit of most complex carbohydrates (starches). |
Mike Adams
See book keywords and concepts |  There are differences in the manufacturing process, and so-called evaporated cane juice does contain more vitamins and minerals than white sugar, but its impact on your blood sugar is virtually the same.
Frozen potatoes (hydrogenated oils + carbs)
Frozen potato packages are yet another food to avoid. Although they may appear to be a relatively healthy food manufactured with minimal processing, the vast majority of frozen potato packages contain hydrogenated oils. |
Earl L. Mindell, RPh, PhD with Virginia Hopkins, MA
See book keywords and concepts | | Although the sugars in fruit are still sugar, they aren't absorbed as quickly as refined white sugar and unlike white sugar, a piece of fruit has vitamins, minerals, and fiber. (If you have a craving for chocolate, you may be deficient in magnesium-—try munching on some figs or almonds.) Don't overdo it with the dried fruit; when the water is removed, fruit becomes a highly concentrated source of sugar and calories. When you get an afternoon or evening craving for fat, try a handful of unsalted nuts such as almonds or cashews. |
Dianne Onstad
See book keywords and concepts |  Compared to white sugar with its 99 percent sucrose content, maple sytup at 65 percent sucrose is obviously a more healthful choice. Like white sugar, however, it may still cause insulin and adrenaline reactions. Maple syrup is damp-producing and so is best used in moderation if at all by people with Candida, malignancies, tumors, cysts, or a compromised immune system. |
Gabriel Cousens, M.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  It means letting go of processed, irradiated, genetically engineered, adulterated, fast foods, and junk foods such as white sugar, white bread, candy, frozen dinners, pastries, soft drinks, coffee, any non-organic meats treated with nitrites and nitrates, pasteurized milk and cheeses, baked goods containing refined oils, foods containing additives, and alcohol. The stage I diet includes organically raised red meats, fowl, fish, vegetables, fruits, grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, eggs, and unpasteurized (raw) dairy products. |
Ben-Erik van Wyk
See book keywords and concepts |  Sugar cane and sugar beet are grown on a large scale and are processed by grinding, pressing out the sap and crystallising to produce molasses (unrefined sugar syrup), brown sugar and finally white sugar (by repeated crystallisation). In addition to these two main industrial sources of sugar, relatively small amounts of palm sugar and maple syrup are produced in rural areas by tapping the sugary sap from sugar palms or sugar maples and concentrating it by boiling or evaporation.
Sweeteners are sometimes used by people who have to restrict their intake of carbohydrates. |
Mike Adams
See book keywords and concepts | | Much of the chromium in whole grains and sugarcane is lost in making refined flour (40 percent loss) and white sugar (93 percent loss). In addition, there is some evidence that refined flour and sugar deplete even more chromium from the body.
Haas goes on to describe the subsequent "enrichment" of milled grains as required by federal law in order to prevent diseases due to nutritional deficiencies:
Refining grains and flours creates a number of problems. | | Virtually all of the vitamin and trace-mineral content has been removed from white sugar, white breads and pastries, and many breakfast cereals. Currently, more than half of the carbohydrates consumed in the United States are in the form of sugars added to processed foods as sweetening agents."
- Michael T. Murray N.D., The Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine
I'm going to take you on a virtual tour through an imaginary food factory. This imaginary factory operates very much like real food factories, but this is obviously a simplified explanation of what goes on in the real world. | | These include: white sugar sucrose white flour instant rolled oats high-fructose corn syrup instant rice corn syrup any "instant" grains
... and so on.
Pioneering authors and researchers
Pioneering doctors, authors, and researchers have been writing about the health dangers of refined carbohydrates for years. Dr. Atkins is probably the best known doctor when it comes to pointing out the health dangers of consuming carbohydrates, but he was by no means the first. | | Raw cane sugar has a wide range of trace elements, almost all of which are lost when white sugar is made; figures for these losses are also given below. The molasses left after refining sugar, which is rich in minerals, is usually fed to animals; the same is true of the 'mill feed'pulled out of wheat and other grains. Similar losses occur for most of the vitamins.
Thus, the healthy substances in the whole grain are sold to animals while the unhealthy, disease-causing carbohydrate portion of the grain is shipped off for consumption by humans.
Why is this allowed to happen? |
Francois Couplan, Ph.D.
See book keywords and concepts |  Often, what is sold commercially as "brown su£ it" is actually nothing but crystallized white sugar mixed with some moras; es. n order to be assimilated by the body, pure saccharose like white sugar (also cal sd sucrose) requires the vitamins and minerals necessary for enzymatic pro messes. But since the original ones found in brown sugar, concentrated in the mo asses, have been eliminated, the body itself must provide for the lack of vi-tan ins and minerals when ingesting white sugar. |
Henry Hobhouse
See book keywords and concepts |  Because of the speed with which white sugar becomes available to the metabolism, the addict's blood-sugar level rises and falls very rapidly as the pancreas works excessively hard to deal with high inputs of sucrose to the stomach. The body becomes used to a feast/famine syndrome in the blood sugar, and this produces an addiction which is chemical, not psychological. The bloodstream signals a deficiency which is self-induced, and the whole cycle may be repeated within an hour. A true sugar addict cannot do without some kind of reinforcement at very frequent intervals. | | In England, where heavy consumption of white sugar arose earlier than in any other country, the preference for white bread also began as a result of sugar addiction. Social historians have had a field day with the Englishman's illogical preference for white bread, which began at the end of the eighteenth century, and there has been much play with that well-known obsession of journalists, politicians, and other commentators, the British class system. | | In the face of high consumption of white sugar, the enzymes required to digest wholemeal bread are absent, since they are literally killed by industrial sugar. Conversely, if one eats enough dietary fiber, one does not crave sugar. If one eats both fiber and sugar, as in some breakfast foods, one gains an excessive amount of weight, and the sugar negates any good that the fiber might do.
In 1800 the United Kingdom consumed more than 18 pounds of sugar per head per year. | | Even the benefits of white bread disappear more rapidly than those of wholemeal; the sweetness of white sugar is more rapidly absorbed than the sugar contained in genuine brown; distilled wine-spirit enters the bloodstream more quickly and its alcohol is made available and used up more rapidly than is the case with the wine from which the spirit is made.
If a drug were found that conferred upon consumers the benefits of which cocaine users speak and never produced either a "low" or a craving, almost no one would object. |
Earl L. Mindell, RPh, PhD with Virginia Hopkins, MA
See book keywords and concepts | | Basically, it's so refined that it's no different from regular white sugar. By the way, brown sugar is just good old white sugar with molasses coloring. Of course, it's best to cut down on the sugar in your diet. It's just empty calories; there's no nutrition, plus it zaps your energy.
Simple sugars enter your bloodstream quickly, giving you that much-touted lift. But the catch is that your pancreas is caught off guard by the sugar rush and it releases too much insulin. |

See book keywords and concepts |  Avoid alcohol, animal protein, beef, caffeine, chocolate, dairy products (except for those listed above), dried shellfish, fried foods, gravies, olives, pickles, salt, soy sauce, tobacco, white flour, and white sugar.
Q If you have swelling of the legs and feet, sit with your feet up as often as you can. Wear support hose for swelling in the legs.
Q Exercise daily and take hot baths or saunas twice a week.
Q Avoid stress.
Q See fasting in Part Three and follow the program. Fasting flushes excess water from the tissues. | | Common culprits include alfalfa, corn, peanuts, soy, eggs, beets, carrots, colas, cold beverages (which may cause bronchial spasm), dairy products (including milk and ice cream), fish, red meat (especially pork), processed foods, salt, spinach, chicken and turkey, white flour, and white sugar. (See allergies in Part Two.)
Q We all need exercise to become and remain healthy. If you find exercise can induce an asthma attack, try taking 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C one hour before your workout. | | Avoid caffeine, red meat, white flour, white sugar, chemical food additives, drugs, pesticides, and tap water.
Q Get regular exercise. Exercise is most important in slowing the aging process because it increases the amount of oxygen available to body tissues, a key determinant of energy and stamina. Brisk walking and stretching exercises are good. Swimming is even better because it provides a low-impact exercise and exerts no pressure on the joints. For those with arthritic conditions, swimming is the ideal way to exercise. |

Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | The ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels is jeopardized by the lack of chromium in our soil and water supply and by a diet high in refined white sugar, flour, and junk foods. A number of human and animal studies have found that chromium supplements can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in the face of insulin resistance, elevated blood glucose levels, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes. |

Jonny Bowden, M.A., C.N.S.
See book keywords and concepts |  The basic concept—less white sugar and fewer foods that contain it— is a good one, though awfully simple, and not necessarily one that by itself will produce results in metabolically resistant people. If you need more structure, or if you are very carb-sensitive or carb-addicted, this is not the best place to start.
JONNY'S LOWDOWN
It's funny—when the first Sugar Busters! book came out, the conventional nutrition establishment (dietitians, etc.) attacked it for blaming sugar and insulin for overweight instead of putting the blame where it "belonged"—on calories. |
Phyllis A. Balch, CNC
See book keywords and concepts | | Poor food choices include processed foods, junk foods, refined white flour products, white sugar products, and imitation foods that are designed to appear and taste like an original product but that have been robbed of natural vitamins, minerals, and enzymes.
3. Overeating. Overeating is probably the most common cause of liver malfunction. Overeating creates excess work for the liver, resulting in liver fatigue. In addition, the liver must detoxify all of the various chemicals present in our food supply today. When the liver is overworked, it may not detoxify harmful substances properly.
4. | | Omit all forms of refined sugar (including white sugar, brown sugar, and corn sweetener) from the diet. Sugar triggers the release of insulin, which then activates enzymes that promote the passage of fat from the bloodstream into the fat cells.
Q Follow a fasting program once monthly. (See fasting in Part Three.)
Q Spirulina aids in fighting obesity. Take it thirty minutes before meals to decrease your appetite. Spirulina also sustains energy, aids in detoxification, and aids in maintaining proper bowel function.
Q Avoid eating before bedtime and during the night. |
Michael T. Murray
See book keywords and concepts |  Virtually all of the fiber, phytochemical, vitamin, and trace element content has been removed from white sugar, white breads and pastries, and many breakfast cereals.
As stated earlier, when low-fiber, high-starch, or high-sugar foods are eaten alone, blood sugar levels rise quickly, producing a strain on blood sugar control. Eating foods high in simple sugars can be harmful to blood sugar control—especially if you are insulin resistant, experience reactive hypoglycemia, or are diabetic. Read food labels carefully for clues on sugar content. |
Mike Adams
See book keywords and concepts |  Skip the morning coffee with refined white sugar or aspartame, and skip that evening cocktail; your body will thank you for it. Avoiding acidic foods and beverages is especially important when you start to feel the first symptoms of acidosis—heartburn, bloating and fatigue. Acidosis' link to chronic disease is too serious to ignore, making it essential for you to keep your body's pH normal.
If you're already regularly experiencing these symptoms of acidosis, it's time for you to put your body back in balance. |
