Sugar is a DRUG

Sugar is a DRUG. Studies show that it is more addictive than cocaine. Let that sink in. Sugar is America’s drug of choice.

The average American consumes 130 pounds of sugar a year. That equates to 38 teaspoons a day, which is INSANE! After 6 teaspoons, your liver can’t metabolize it anymore, so it literally becomes POISON.

Sugar has over 65 names and sneaks into places you least expect, even pasta sauces and “gut health drinks” like kombucha. Always read the back of the box so you won’t be fooled by the marketing slogans on the front.

The results? Nearly 30% of adults have diabetes or prediabetes, and almost half of adults have some type of heart disease. Naturally, their sugar-coated lives are being passed down as close to 1 in 3 kids are overweight (from sugar, processed foods, lack of exercise, etc.)—thus on track to diabetes and heart disease.

No wonder brain fog, depression, skin problems, inflammation, chronic disease, stomach issues, cancer, ADHD, candida, premature aging, obesity, etc., are considered “NORMAL” in our poisoned society. 

But YOU don’t have to accept feeling awful as “normal.” YOU have the POWER to make choices that lead to a life of energy, happiness, and achieving your dreams. Don’t let sugar addictions take that away from you and your family. As Tony Robbins says, “Knowledge is not power. It’s only potential power. ACTION IS POWER.”

3 Ways Sugar Harms Your Body

This info is potential power. The lifestyle changes you make from reading this blog are what will determine your current and future health and quality of life.

• Sugar creates an ACIDIC environment in your body, which prematurely ages your cells. You can see evidence of this in your wrinkled skin, dry hair, and brittle nails. Sugar literally ages you faster than the clock says it’s supposed to.
  
  
• Sugar is a straight-up liver TOXIN. When your liver gets riddled with fatty deposits (triggered by sugar consumption), it has to work EXTRA HARD (which can lead to breakdown) to regenerate itself, detoxify your blood, and pull excess glucose out of the bloodstream.
  
  
• Excess glucose can lead to fat storage (weight that’s nearly impossible to lose), and insulin resistance in your brain. This is associated with Alzheimer’s, brain fog, and ADD or ADHD in kids and adults. By 2060, an UCLA study predicts the number of people with mild cognitive impairment from Alzheimer’s or clinical Alzheimer’s will increase by 250%—due to society’s dramatic sugar consumption. 

Take Action To Gain Control.

Let’s be realistic. Doing a dramatic cut of all sugars will only lead to failure in a few days. However, if you ADD in foods (Top 7 Alkaline Foods) and supplements that will STRENGTHEN you from the inside out, and over time, the good will soon outweigh the bad. 

4 Ways to Take Action:

Read Get Off Your Sugar. This book gives you a strategic game plan to WEED (detox your mind, body, and diet), SEED (crush your cravings), and FEED a lifetime of satisfying, strengthening eating. 

Prevent sugar cravings. Many diets and lifestyle plans tell you just to remove sugar, but they don’t give what it needs to prevent the craving. That is why so many people fail and then plain give up. You can’t remove the poison without providing an antidote. When your body asks for a sugary sweet something, it’s shouting, “I’m desperately lacking minerals.” This is why I created Acid-Kicking Minerals. Drink 1 scoop after dinner to nourish your body and stop a dessert craving.
