Why is refined white sugar so bad for your health? Because it’s an “anti-food” that has been stripped of nearly all nutrition.
Sugar is refined from cane, a large species of grass. Raw cane juice is actually a dark green liquid with an incredibly sweet, full-spectrum flavor. Processing the raw cane juice into sugar involvesremoving nearly all the vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients, leaving only empty white calories that are a lot like poison to mammalian biology.
That’s why “dehydrated cane juice crystals” are actually good for you, even though “refined white sugar” is bad for you. Cane juice is a full-spectrum sweetener that provides all sorts of minerals and nutrients which help balance the blood sugar effects of consuming sugar in the first place.
Because refined white sugar is an anti-nutrient, people who eat it on a regular basis are stealing from their own nutritional stores to “process” the sugar, causing a net nutritional deficit in their bodies. Lacking the necessary trace minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients to maintain optimum health, body systems and organs start to fail. Medical doctors slap names on those symptoms, calling them things like “diabetes” or “ADHD” or “cancer.” (Cancer cells love refined white sugar!)
But the real root cause of most disease is nutrient depletion thanks to the routine consumption of nutrient-depleted, processed refined foods.
