- Sugar is addictive and is a low grade poison like any other addictive substance.
-
- Refined sugar in particular provides only "empty" calories and lacks natural nutrients which are present at least in some degree in the whole sugar beet or whole sugar cane.
-
- Such sugar is a refined and therefore incomplete carbohydrate. The body cannot utilize refined carbohydrate that has been depleted of all the proteins, vitamins and minerals that make a complete carbohydrate.
-
-
- Eating sugar is worse than not eating anything because to digest, detoxify and eliminate it, the body tissues must give up precious vitamins and minerals which are vital to cellular health. Deficiencies occur and cells grow weak causing the tissues and organs they compose to become weak and your health to deteriorate.
-
-
- Additionally, the body's attempt to use incomplete carbohydrate results in the formation of toxic substances such as pyruvic acid and abnormal molecules containing five carbon atoms. Pyruvic acid accumulates in the brain and nervous system causing all manner of problems. The abnormal molecules accumulate in the red blood cells causing a different set of problems.
-
- These toxic substances interfere with the respiration of the body's cells. The cells cannot get sufficient oxygen to survive and to function normally. In time, some of the cells die off and are no longer replaced.
-
-
These permanent cell deaths leave missing areas that interfere with the function of parts of the body, its nervous system and organs and this is the beginning of degenerative disease.
-
- Excess sugar of ANY kind swells the liver and is then changed to fatty acids and deposited as fat in areas of the body like belly and thighs etc. and finally in the vital organs which slow down and can't function as they need to and the entire body is then severely effected with deteriorated function and health.
-
-
- In addition to these destructive effects, sugar of ANY kind makes the blood and body tissues acid which is perfect for the development, survival and breeding of harmful germs and viruses. You need to keep your body tissues and blood alkaline so germs and viruses will not take hold and breed and result in you becoming quite sick. You can't keep your tissue and blood alkaline if you are eating sugar of ANY kind.
-
-
- Withdrawal from sugar must be done gradually while giving the body large quantities of the substances that sugar steals from body tissues.
-
-
- The first step to cutting out sugar is to throw away all refined sugar and to refuse to buy any refined sugar - and to replace it with only unrefined organic sugar.
-
-
- Next, if the foods you are eating and the drinks you are habitually drinking contain sugar then gradually cut down on them and switch to healthy food and drink.
-
-
- If you drink 4 sodas each day, start by cutting down to 3 each day for a few days and then to 2 each day - then to one and finally don't put this liquid sugar-poison in your body at all. Cut out cookies. the same way.
-
-
- Man-made artificial, chemical-sweeteners are not safe and are toxic to nerve cells and tissue cells in varying degrees, causing head aches, perception oddities and other physical problems that get worse and more permanent the longer the artificial sweeteners are used so do not switch to those.
-
-
- The next step in withdrawal from sugar is to gradually replace all sugar with only pure Stevia Leaf Sweetener. Stevia is a totally natural herb with no calories and no adverse effects on the body. (A tiny amount of Stevia is needed or the sweetness is so extreme it tastes a little bitter.)
-
- While withdrawing from sugar and afterwards the doctor or technician may require that you take generous amounts of liquid minerals, potassium tablets and liquid vitamins or other supplements.

Candace: It is also necessary to decrease sugar gradually, and for that matter white breads, white rices etc, is because excess consumption of these causes hyperinsulinism, producing low blood sugars. You must gradually decrease these so as to allow insulin balance to also rebalance. Sudden dropping of these can cause some mighty headache problems, and the like.
It is important to eat whole foods. If you have sugar in your diet, it needs to be in other whole food. It has been proven with diabetics, that some sugar when in other whole food doesn't affect the blood sugar so much, but sweet cakes and the like, especially made with white flours are still quite devestating. I was a victim of hyperinsulinism and it is no laughing matter. If you own a blood sugar testing device and have some knowledge of its use, you can easily prove that your blood sugar is much better after eating whole grain bread than it is after the similar intake of white bread.
Besides all the other things we must face, like intentional poisonings by the dark side with additives, in the air, and the like, eating foods which are degraded and not whole are not good for you, and this promotes malnutrition. I don't even eat very much oil, because it's not a whole food. I prefer to get the majority of my fat from the nuts and seeds, etc, themselves. I don't fry food, ever and I don't feel good after eating things like french fries and the like. Last night I ate from fried tortilla chips and lived to regret it.
As your bodies reconnect their "junk DNA" you MUST have nutrious whole food and not empty calories. Although flax seed oil was helpful to me, what was even more helpful was ground flax seed, which has all the nutrition of the whole seed, including nice protein, and soluble fiber. I grind it now in a coffee mill, more efficient than the blender, a couple cups at a time and refrigerate it, because it goes rancid easily at room temperture. DON"T bake with flax seed, because cooking damages it. Use it raw.
Many children are harmed by the consumption of pop and empty foods when they are growing. Don't give them this stuff. Make cookies at home, make them less sweet, using applesauce and stevia to replace most of the sugar. Use a bit of molasses in them, if you are a brown sugar in the cookies person.(me!) They can be made sweet also using dried fruits, without sulfur on them, as many are sensitive to it. I used to use small quantities of sucanat, which is dried cane syrup, but something is wrong with it lately.
It tastes like it has been cut with something, isn't as dark a brown, and is strangely fruity tasting, so I don't buy it any more. I can tell by the color if it's the real thing or not. So I just use a dab of Grandmas molasses in stuff for that molasses taste I liked in sucanat. But keep down the consumption of even "natural" sugars. Only a bit please, which includes only a bit of honey. These can still affect your blood sugars and promote hyperinsulinism in quantity. If you must have some sweets now and then, go out and exercise immediately afterwards. And Donuts, made of white flour, white sugar, and fried in heaven only knows what over used oil are really, really bad.
Buy baked chips made of whole grain or whole potato slices if you must have them from time to time. READ labels. In terms of your sacred vessel, your body, you are what you eat. Sugar is addictive by the way, not only because people like sweets (I do), but also because it affects the insulin levels adversely.
