Treat or Trick???

In the spirit of Halloween, I thought it fitting to post on the effects of white SUGAR on our health.  I’m talking about that additive white powdery stuff, not the natural wholesome sugar coming from fruit. ;-)

Here are Some of the Effects of Refined White Sugar:
– Highly Addictive
– Stresses the Liver
– Depresses Immune Function
– Stimulates Appetite
– Promotes Weight Gain
– Destroys your Teeth
– Increases Bad Cholesterol and Triglycerides
– Can Cause Insulin Resistance (think Diabetes)
– Feeds Cancer Cells
– Causes Mood Swings and Depression
– Totally Devoid of Nutritional Value
– Creates Mineral Imbalances
– Promotes Gray Hair (Copper Deficiency)
– Causes Wrinkles
– Makes you Cranky during Withdrawals
– Aggravates PMS symptoms
– Increases Risk of Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis
– Causes Food Allergies
– Slows Digestion, Inhibits Proper Bowel Function (Constipation)
– Indicated in Diabetes, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, Migraines, Asthma, Cataracts, Dehydration, Memory Loss, Atherosclerosis, Varicose Veins, and many, many more diseases.

This is only a partial list, as the complete list is very long.  But it’s enough to give you the idea.

Remember – On Halloween the Treat is the Trick.
Do yourself a favor and make it a happy one by treating yourself with some beautiful luscious FRUIT instead! =)
