The Top 10 Reasons Sugar Isn’t Sweet

1. It is addictive - 8 times more than cocaine - making us want more and more and more.

2. It causes inflammation and joint pain.

3. It turns to belly fat, the most dangerous fat storage for our health.

4. It is the leading cause of obesity in America, which is one of the fastest growing causes of death in the U.S.

5. It is the leading cause of diabetes, the prevalence of which has doubled in the past two decades. Diabetes left untreated can cause kidney disease, blindness, heart disease, neuropathy, stroke or even death.

6. It creates “brain fog,” which prevents clarity and mental awareness.

7. It rots our teeth.

8. It causes fatigue from blood sugar spikes and drops that make us tired just an hour after a full meal.

9. It overrides Leptin, a hormone that acts as an “I’m full” indicator switch, leading to overeating due to never feeling full.

10. It promotes wrinkling and aging skin.

These are just the top 10. There are dozens more, including a 40 percent increase in despair and depression impacting millions like you and I every day.

As Lynn wrote in a fun Facebook post, sugar is anything but sweet.

“I realized I was ready to shed the full length ‘cover-up’ I was wearing to the beach. Thanks to 8 to Your IdealWeight, my belly fat is now out of my ‘Protection Collection.’ That outfit was so last year!”
