'There are 56 names for sugar, and the food manufacturers know this. So they give you what you want; sugar in different forms but they just don’t call it sugar, and you keep coming back for more because you think you are eating healthier.' askdrnini
The truth of the matter is that most people consume about 3-4 times the amount of sugar they ought to consume daily. With the rising health trend, sugar intake is still at an all time high. This could be because most people don’t realize that the so-called healthy alternatives that have zero calories and zero sugar are also just as bad.
The bitter truth is that as sweet as it is, sugar is highly toxic and addictive, just as addictive as illicit drugs; and negatively affects the body’s organs in many ways. Brain: The taste of sugar in our mouth sends signals to the brain to release dopamine, the feel good hormone. Dopamine, when released gives a pleasurable, euphoric feeling, but it doesn’t last. Drugs like cocaine, heroine and marijuana also cause dopamine surge to be released. In order to maintain that ‘high’, most people tend to use more and more drugs to give you that same feeling.
Skin: When we eat sugar, it attaches to proteins in the blood stream and forms harmful products known as advanced glycation end products also known as AGEs. Basically, this causes inflammation and causes your skin to age faster. These AGEs also deactivate the body’s natural antioxidant enzymes, leaving the skin more vulnerable to sun damage.
