The evidence continues to mount, that sugar is literally a white poison, impacting upon multiple aspects of human health such as syndrome X and various metabolic diseases. Now, Chinese researchers have done a comprehensive study of the available literature on sugar consumption and health. It was found that eating more than 25 grams of sugar per day increases the risk of 45 chronic diseases, including heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, asthma, gout, tooth decay, depression, and pancreatic cancer. This is obviously bad, but what the paper does not go into is how to avoid reaching such levels of consumption, since even if one does not eat junk food, most processed foods, including even wholemeal bread has some sugar. Beer as well.
Clearly, to avoid these 45 chronic diseases, or minimise risks, will involve a rigorous overview of one’s view. In short, the movement to organic whole foods, fruit (in strict moderation), vegetables and lean meat. A modified paleo diet, eschewing grain. It is good for losing weight as well.
