Sadly, food manufacturers, the media and even the health service have helped to ladle more and more sugar into our diet. Given this it's no wonder we love sugar but unfortunately our bodies don't. The overload of sugar in our diet is putting our health and even our lives at risk. Even moderate sugar intake on a regular basis can create or exacerbate a huge number of conditions. Quite apart from heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer's, sugar is implicated in fungal infections, mood swings, mucous production, low energy and libido, brain fog and memory problems, inflammation and general lowered immunity It's time to ditch the sugar and save our bodies; time to beat sugar cravings and learn how to eat real food, rather than empty, harmful calories by adopting a no sugar diet.
