The Metabolism Buster

What if you were to learn that every day, 25 percent of your calories came from a poison, disguised as a food?

What would you think if this poison actually is encouraged and allowed by the agencies set up to protect you and I? (American Heart Association, the American Medical Association, the USDA and the FDA)

And what if you discovered that this chemical impostor was responsible for your insulin resistance and weight gain?

And elevated blood pressure ... And elevated triglycerides and LDL ... And depletion of vitamins and minerals ... And even gout, heart disease and liver damage?

Would you be angry?

We now know without a doubt that sugar in your food, in all its myriad of forms, is taking a devastating toll on the health of this nation.

(Thank you to Dr. Mercola for stating these ideas! I have to admit, I took them directly from his blog post... It was too good to change.)

The fact is, a vast majority of Americans and many up and coming nations in the world are eating huge amounts of processed sugar. It is currently estimated that 90% of money spent on food is spent on processed unnatural foods and 25% of all the calories you consume are from fake sugar.

Below I am including some of the amazing stats from the article. If you would like to really know what is happening regarding this topic so you can make better choices, have more personal power, and add quality to your life and life to your years read the entire article here.

Okay, here are some of the stats from the article:

On average, men are consuming 187 more calories per day, and women 335 more calories. People who were never heavy before are becoming overweight, and the obese are becoming more so. We are now a “supersized” population.

Today, 55 percent of sweeteners used in food and beverage manufacturing are made from corn, and the number one source of calorie in America is soda, in the form of high fructose corn syrup (HFCS). In fact, the average American drinks 60 gallons of soda every year.

Corn syrup is now found in every type of processed, pre-packaged food you can think of. In fact, the use of HFCS in the U.S. diet increased by a whopping 10,673 percent between 1970 and 2005, according to a report by the USDA.

The current annual consumption of sugar is 141 pounds per person, and 63 pounds of that is HFCS.

There is much more information but it would make this a very long post, so reserve some time, read this entire article, and empower yourself by adding knowledge!
