We are a culture that enjoys the sweetness
of life in all of its presentations. Everywhere we look we
can find examples of the impact of one intoxicating delight:
Sugar! But could life be even sweeter without so much sugar?
The impact of sugar is much more than just an emotional or sensory pleasure. Sugar does increase our energy...for a very short burst, followed by a crash which usually creates a craving for even more sweets. If we sipped sugar straight from cane in its natural form, it would not be so bad. But the processed sugars in our sweet treats can alter the body's hormones, blood sugar and adrenal glands to give us extreme feelings of hunger and even cause mood changes. This could lead to overeating and increase the risk for obesity, heart disease and diabetes. And it goes deeper than desserts. Carbohydrates and condiments we do not usually suspect like white bread, pasta and ketchup become the same sugary substance (glucose) during the digestive process.
Like many foods today, sugar is having a different effect on the body because of modern processing. It must be "refined" to remove fertilizers or pesticides. The refining also separates it from valuable vitamins and minerals. The original brown color is bleached out, possibly removing even more benefits. What is left is simple sucrose (table sugar). Sucrose can throw off our pH balance and cause our body to become acidic. This triggers a vicious cycle, because an acid-filled climate loves more sugar! Our devilishly good companion can then be blamed for hyperactivity or fatigue, crankiness, and a lowered immune system to name a few.
So how can I satisfy my sweet tooth?
