Problems and Issues with Sugar

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. Insulin is a hormone with extensive effects on both metabolism and several other body systems (e.g., vascular compliance). 

When we eat, our bodies break food down into organic compounds, one of which is glucose. The cells of our bodies use glucose as a source of energy for movement, growth, repair, and other functions. But before the cells can use glucose, it must move from the bloodstream into the individual cells. This process requires 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 result in an elevated level of glucose in our blood stream and elevated levels of insulin is required.
