How-to: Sugar

Sugar has a massive part of our diet; North Americans eat about 150 lbs of sugar a year! This is unprecedented in human history. Sugar depresses the immune system and contributes to countless diseases. Getting processed sugars out of your diet is an awesome way to improve your health.

Ingredients:

• a desire to learn
• a garbage
• ability to make choices

Steps:

• check out the website of clinical nutritionist, Nancy Appleton, www.nancyappleton.com click on "How sugar can ruin your health." Have a good read, and maybe even print this out to post on your fridge!
• check your cupboards for sugar and throw it out: white sugar, brown sugar, syrup, etc....put it in the garbage!
• next time you buy processed food CHECK the label!: avoid glucose, sucrose, corn syrup, fructose, rice syrup, molasses, honey, etc.

• instead of sugar chose fresh fruit. check your local library for sugar-free cookbooks. avoid using packaged fruit juice instead of sugar; most is made by rendering fruit down into a fruit syrup and reconstituting the fruit syrup with water.

• choose not to put foods that contain processed sugar, in your mouth!

• enjoy improved health!
