Sugar-related illnesses are on the rise. Diabetes, cardio-vascular
problems and dementia are just some of the serious chronic diseases
connected to over-indulging in the sweet white poison. Sometimes,
people’s personal experiences can be more persuasive than the gray
scientific data. So here’s a story about a woman who gave up sugar and
saw her life change for the better.
Sarah Wilson is suffering from Hashimoto’s disease, an auto-immune condition of the thyroid (I recently wrote about different thyroid disorders). She decided to go sugar-free in January 2011 as a part of her pro-active treatment program.
After eliminating the sweet stuff from her diet, Sarah experienced a number of health improvements, some connected to her chronic condition and others of a more general type.
The reason why omitting sugar from your diet can have such wonderful results is not very complicated. White sugar is an acidic-forming food and it pushes the body into a state of chronic low-grade inflammation. Chronic inflammation is the source of many diseases and conditions, such as cancer, heart problems and obesity.
Sugar influences the aging process by reacting with proteins and making the collagen and elastin structures less stretchy and durable.
This doesn’t mean you can’t have any desserts. Plenty of delicious treats can be made sugar-free.
