Refined Sugar Addiction

Namaste and welcome back to another posting for the Quiet Mouse Strikes Back. Thank you to all the friends, family, and fellow knowledge seekers that have made this blog a success. I urge all my readers to read past postings as well as become followers of the blog. Feel free to repost and share as well.

Today I wanted to write about the abundance of products containing refined sugar products. It's in what we drink like Gatorade, fruit juices, and fitness waters, our bread, breakfast cereals and bars, yogurts, canned fruits and vegetables, and pasta sauce to name a few items. This excess consumption of processed and refined sugars are harmful to our body since they have no nutritional value and a LOT of negative health effects like the ones listed in the table above.
What's really shitty is that the companies that produce the refined sugar products KNOW that it is triggering the exact SAME neuro-receptors that are triggered by use of COCAINE. So quite literally people are getting cracked out on toxic high levels of sugar, the REAL GATEWAY DRUG for children. This sugar is highly addictive and needs to be cut back on in our society to curb the pandemic rising of obesity that we all have to suffer with.
In the end, however, we must as individuals strive to eat healthier and seek out to purposefully avoid excess sugars, especially those we KNOW like sweets (cakes, candy, and sweet snacks) and sugary carbonated beverages like soda and energy drinks. We need to exercise more and glutton less. All of this requires work and tenacity, a resolve of mind AND body to live a healthier lifestyle.
