SUGAR IS THE PRIMARY DIETARY CAUSE OF THE OBESITY EPIDEMIC.
Fat DOES NOT make you fat! But sugar that turns into fat will.When sugar enters the body, it is broken down into its simplest form for appropriate use. The sugar is then moved into the blood stream for transport. The body can function in a state of health (homeostasis) and optimal performance when there are approximately 1-2 teaspoons of sugar in the bloodstream. In greater quantities, your body faces the risk of coma, or even death. Therefore, when faced with excess sugar, as it is daily in North Americans, the body uses insulin to move the sugar out of the blood and into the cells so that it can be used for energy. In the average North American, because there is so much sugar consumed and available in the body, not all of it can be used as energy. The body must do something with the extra sugar once in the cells. The body's solution: store the excess sugar as fat.
Have a SPINE day!
