This site alerts people to the negative effects processed Sugars have on the body and mind.  Sugar is empty calories that raise the insulin level as soon as we eat it.  Too much sugar into the bloodstream upsets the body's blood-sugar balance, triggering the release of insulin.

Refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into just about every item we consume each day.  This is why so many of us are suffering from obesity, depression, poor circulation, dull skin, and other ill-health effects.

Sugar is going into most breakfast cereals, sandwich spreads, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and every packaged item that says microwavable.  When we have elevated insulin levels for a long time it can increase the risk for disease by causing inflammation within our body and by inhibiting key hormones that regulate the immune system.

Insulin also promotes the storage of fat, so that when you eat excessive foods high in sugar, you are making way for rapid weight gain and elevated triglycerides, both of which have been linked to cardiovascular disease.  

Our bodies are designed to safely eat 2,000 calories of total food each day.  Within this total intake nutritionists support the importance of eliminating table sugar whenever possible, or at least limiting consumption to no more than 8 teaspoons of refined sugar (32 grams) per day.
