Sugar: Did you know . . . #16

Posted: Feb 20, 08 1:09am

The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of processed and packaged foods.

Here are ways sugar can affect your health:

We have such odd health problems, yet we do not attribute them to the over abundance os sugar in our diets. This series is such a wake up call. More on this:

A surprising number and variety of physical problems and diseases can be caused by acidity. Today the vast majority of the populace in industrialized nations suffers from problems caused by acidification, because both modern lifestyle and diet promote acidification of the body's internal environment.

In general, the current standard diet is primarily composed of acidic or acidifying elements (proteins, cereals, sugars). Alkaline foods such as vegetables are eaten in much smaller quantities; their alkaline content is insufficient to neutralize surplus acids.

Do you exhibit signs of acidification? Find out with this checklist of symptoms.

* Lack of energy; constant fatigue, loss of physical tone and psychic drive, sensation of heaviness in the limbs, feelings of inability to cope.

* Lower body temperature; frequently feels cold.

* Tendency to get infections.

* Loss of drive, joy, and enthusiasm.

* Depressive tendencies.

* Nervousness: agitation without cause, hyperactivity, sensitivity to high-pitched noises and easily stressed.

* Very pale face.

* Headaches.

* Eyes tear easily.

* Conjunctivitis.

* Inflammation of the corneas and eyelids.

* Acidic saliva.

* Loose teeth.

* Inflamed, sensitive gums.

* Mouth ulcers.

* Cracks at the corners of the lips.

* Recurring infections of throat and tonsils.

* Teeth are sensitive to hot, cold, or acidic foods.

* Teeth have a tendency to crack or chip.

* Pain in the nerves of the teeth.

* Excess stomach acid.

* Acid regurgitation.

* Gastritis.

* Ulcers.

* Nails are thin and split and break easily.

* Hair looks dull, has split ends, and falls out.

* Dry skin.

* Skin tends to be irritated in regions where there are heavy concentrations of sweat.

* Hives.

* Leg cramps and spasms.
