Sugar is a slow acting killer

Too much sugar makes you gain weight and can harm your health. And you have to be especially careful about how much sugar you eat if you have diabetes.

One of my readers told me he stopped eating anything with sugar or sugar substitutes. After three months he felt like a different person. He will never eat anything with sugar again.

Too much sugar makes you gain weight and can harm your health. And you have to be especially careful about how much sugar you eat if you have diabetes.

Before you read on, I have a reader that told me he quit sugar. I know it's hard to believe a person can quit sugar. It is on every food label I pick up. And chemical additives like artificial sweeteners are even worse. So how did he do that?

The American Heart Association advises:

• Do not add table sugar, syrup, or honey to cereal, coffee, tea, or pancakes. If you must add sugar, add half the usual amount.
• Drinking more water and avoiding soda. Opt for sugar-free drinks.
• Eating canned fruit in water, instead of sugar-laden syrup.
• Reducing sugar in recipes by at least one-third. Or instead of sugar, use extracts such as lemon, almond, or vanilla.
• Use unsweetened applesauce in place of sugar.

When an adult adds weight to their body they’re adding fat. It’s so easy to add fat and you don’t even realize it. For instance, if you’re eating a well-balanced meal and then decide to drink a Coke with your dinner, the sugary drink will slow down your metabolism and you will only burn the carbs in your meal and will store more of the fat in the food you’re eating. You must help your body metabolize your food; drinking water or plain tea is the best way.
