How many of us are using caffeine to overcome low energy, foggy thinking, and lack of clarity? How many are trying to resist their obsession with sugar? How many have the courage (or know the pathway) to overcome it?
Refined sugars have entered almost all of our prepared foods to some degree. Even the famous fast food kings put sugar in their chicken tenders and fries. The home delivered pizza has it in the crust and the sauce. It’s even showing up in microwave popcorn. That delicious juice your children love is often laced with refined sugars or corn syrups. Agave and honey frequently have high fructose corn syrup added without truthful labeling.
How do we deal with this when addictive sugars are everywhere – either hidden or not? Ignoring it only prolongs the issues and creates body chemistry problems. Sugar addiction is an epidemic; our children need to be taught better ways of eating. Obesity and Diabetes are on the rise as are many other diseases. What is refined sugar really doing to our body chemistry and brain function? Refined sugar has been describes as “crystalline acid” and compared to heroin.
Sugar use can cause:
•accelerated aging
•a lack of mental clarity
•Candida – which creates a multitude of other health problems
•low self esteem and lethargy
•a fatty liver which inhibits the fat metabolism and fat burning capabilities of the organ
•depletion of many amino acids
•leaching of B, C, and D vitamins and numerous minerals
•our cholesterol levels to rise
•hypoglycemia
and about 140 other health problems.
Julia Ross, author of The Diet Cure, writes that nutritional therapy is a long-ignored healing modality for helping addicts and eating-disorder patients. She says sugar addicts are low in certain brain chemicals, not weak willed. Ross writes that these brain chemicals are thousands of times stronger than street drugs like heroin. And your body has to have them. If not, it sends out a command that is stronger than anyone's willpower: "Find a drug-like food or a drug, or some alcohol, to substitute for our missing brain chemicals. We cannot function without them!" Your depression, tension, irritability, anxiety, and cravings are all symptoms of a brain that is deficient in its essential calming, stimulating, and mood-enhancing chemicals.
So what's the cure to this addiction? Lots of knowledge and solutions, support with others, and a relationship with our Creator who can give us the strength and courage to overcome all difficulties.
