Its not to say I haven't technically been in confusion my entire life about what to eat and what not to eat. I concluded, if it taste good it's probably bad. But once again I was having to re-examine the foods I was eating and try and understand that the way to heart disease is through carbs, not fats!!
I am reflecting on it today, because I saw a teaser of a TV show and it reminded me of what my doctor had told me. The main cause of heart disease is INFLAMMATION!!!
Sugar is the #1 culprit of causing inflammation. Sugar damages arteries, raises your blood pressure, and ages your organs. When I think about sugar, I am not surprised of some of the damage is causes to the body, when you have a cut in your mouth, you salt it, add sugar and just watch how long that cut takes to go away. When I eat too much sugar, I feel like I have a hangover the next day. I am sluggish and lacking energy. Okay so it makes sense that it is hurting me. 
Of course we are being educated today on the way we end up with sugars in our body...refined carbs are HUGE in the sugar department. Also, high fructose corn syrup, is playing a major role in foods we buy today. Most ingredients with the ose on the end are also sugars. And these days, its becoming really hard to identify sugars on packaging, because manufacturers are disguising it with new names.
I can only conclude, whole foods is the way to go...this is not to say I will completely remove sugars from my life, but I will consider that sugary treat a occasional visitor.
I would like to share this article with everyone, please read, it may change your life and even save it!
