WHAT IS SUGAR? Sugar is a carbohydrate that occurs naturally in various forms in all living things. In its natural form, sugar, as found in the sugar cane or sugar beet, is combined with a large amount of fiber, and also contains iron, potassium, calcium, B vitamins, etc.. These nutrients are needed to digest the sugar that is in the sugar beet or sugar cane, However white sugar, as we get it today, has been robbed of almost 100% of these nutrients. White sugar is so pure and refined that it basically has nothing in it but empty calories. Concentrated, pure sugar is a drug, unrelated to anything that occurs naturally, and is very harmful to your body. If only a small fraction of what is known about the effects of sugar was revealed in relation to any other food additive, that material would be promptly banned. Sugar throws off the calcium-phosphorous balance, and disrupts the entire important phase of your body machinery. Because refined sugar has been robbed of the B vitamins that are necessary for its assimilation by the body, it latches on to these wherever it finds them - namely, in your digestive tract, so that the person who eats refined sugar is bound to be short on the B vitamins. Result? Nervousness, skin troubles, digestive trouble, and a host of other disorders which lead to much more serious problems later on. The more sugar you eat, the lower your bodys resistance to disease becomes. To have good health we must have a strong immune system. Sugar lowers our bodys immune system, making it weak instead of strong. In our body we have white blood cells, which are called warrior cells. These attack and destroy bacteria. However, when we eat refined sugar, it causes our white blood cells to become sluggish, causing them to lose their ability to destroy as many bacteria.
