Scary Facts about Sugar

Americans consume 31 five-pound bags a piece every year
1) Many cancer patients would have a major improvement in their conditions if they controlled the supply of cancer's preferred fuel: GLUCOSE.
2) The vital organs in the body are actually damaged by our current gross intake of sugar.
3) The average healthy digestive system can digest and eliminate from two to four teaspoons of sugar daily, usually without noticeable problems. 
4) A direct link between consuming sugar and 'impaired cognitive function has been found also research shows found a direct link between diabetes and dementia.
5) Low sugar diets can help with some mental illness and depression. Sugar suppresses the activity of the brain growth hormone BDNF. When BDNF levels are  low, both depression and schizophrenia can manifest
“The biggest reason sugar does more damage than any other poison, drug or narcotic is twofold:
(a) It is considered a "food" and ingested in such massive quantities, and
(b) The damaging effects begin early, from the day a baby is born and is fed sugar in its formula. Even mothers milk is contaminated with it if the mother eats sugar, and
(c) Practically 95% of people are addicted to it to some degree or other.”  http://www.organicnutrition.co.uk/articles/is-sugar-bad-for-you.htm
B was the most frightening to me.  4 years ago we had our 4th child this young lad came to us kicking and screaming and demanding things his own way 8 weeks early.  From the very moment he began to eat he was supplemented with formula to assure his growth.  I still wonder what damage might have been caused by those cans of GMO corn and sugars.
