60 Minutes recently reported on the scientific findings that sugar is a toxin that can lead to major chronic diseases including obesity, heart disease, and cancer. Test subjects in strict clinical trials who were monitored 24 hours a day, who consumed high fructose corn syrup, developed higher risk factors for cardiovascular disease within two weeks
In the mid-70’s, when dietary fats were inaccurately blamed for causing heart disease, spawning the still-persistent low-fat craze, processed food makers began swapping out the fats and replacing them with corn syrup. It’s not difficult to see that trading fat for sugar was not a wise move. We now know, without a doubt, that it's the excessive fructose content in the modern diet that is taking such a devastating toll on people's health
Excessive fructose consumption leads to insulin resistance, which appears to be the root of many if not most chronic diseases. Fructose also raises your uric acid levels—it typically generates uric acid within minutes of ingestion—which in turn can wreak havoc on your blood pressure, insulin production, and kidney function. So far, scientific studies have linked fructose to about 78 different diseases and health problems
Having in mind the uncontrolled sugar uptake by various
drinks, sweets etc, sugar is big concern for the public.
However all this is about right balance, like in case of cholesterol, which is absol-ly essential.
Hydrocarbons are Gomo or Yin in Su-jok classification
which explains all above so far
--- obesity is harmful Dampness = Yin
--- 75% of heart diseases have Yin energy like ischemic
heart disease - Dryness, coronary thrombosis - Dampness etc
--- cancer and diabetes are strong Yin conditions
If seek for a magical substitute for common sugar
and expect you can have it as much as you want,
there'll inevitably appear side effects.
What is really funny about the situation, is that in fact
the most widespread condition along with teeth cavity, is
considered to be hypoglycemia, believed to be the main factor for depression and many other problems.
And this takes place when uncontrolled sugar uptake is
a big problem almost worldwide, showing the inability of the public to adhere to healthy living and support their natural metabolism and immune system.
