4:59 The #1 sign you’re eating too much sugar

In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the side effects of consuming too much sugar. Some of the well-known side effects of sugar include fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, carb cravings, and cavities.

Is there a difference between sugar and carbohydrates? A carbohydrate consists of sugar, fiber, and starch. Starches are called polysaccharides, meaning many sugars or multiple sugar molecules connected together. Starches raise blood sugar levels significantly more than sugar.

Starches like maltodextrin, modified food starch, and modified corn starch have a much higher glycemic index than sugar.

Here are 7 surprising signs that you’re consuming too much sugar:

7. Reduced collagen
Reduced collagen will result in loose, wrinkled skin and premature aging.

6. Chronic white tongue
Candida from too much sugar will cause you to have a white tongue. You won’t be able to get rid of it without eliminating sugar from the diet.

5. Chronic sinus problems
Most chronic sinus problems are caused by a fungus called Aspergillus that feeds on sugar.

4. Red or pink gums
Red or pink on your toothbrush after brushing could signify a mild case of scurvy or vitamin C deficiency. High sugar consumption blocks vitamin C.

3. Low testosterone
Low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and difficulty building muscle.

2. Susceptibility to infection
Too much sugar can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infection.

1. High adrenaline levels
Too much sugar damages the cell’s ability to make energy in the mitochondria. To compensate, the body produces more adrenaline.

    I love my bakery products, ice cream and candy bars but…..I have to remind myself how difficult it is to reduce sugar cravings, which stops me from eating any of that stuff all together.

    • @nemesis8131 on May 12, 2024 at 12:23 pm

      I guarantee that if you will eat more salads, you will stop craving for sweet stuff. I eat sugary stuff only because I want, not because I have to. But I can easily cut it off close to 100% I don’t even use sugar with my tea or coffee.

      I’m 64 5’10 173 and still pumping iron, I went from 205 to 173 and I now allow myself some peanut butter cups on the weekend. I actually break them up into crumbs and eat them slowly to enjoy them. Yes, it sounds funny but it has kept me from going back to my old diet of desserts every night and cereals, pies, cakes, cookies, ice-cream and brownies. But I only buy enough on Saturday morning to last 2 days . I eat mostly meat and eggs and milk and honey in my coffee.

After I explained that it’s not an option for me because I understand how junk like that, lyrica, seroquel, etc., are highly toxic to the brain, and how they affect the catecholamine pathway… he was in awe!

      i had Rheumatoid arthritis year 2019, got operated because my knee bones density is getting low and my knee fluid is gone, i can’t walk and run before and after operation, then i start searching for more details RA, and i saw dr. berg channel. i remove everything milk tea high sugar coffee, 3x a day meal, and tobacco smoking. but i am asian soo rice is rice.

      This is my transition. after operation. my doctor recommended a natural med.

      2019

      1. kelp – 1x a day
      2. calcium 2x a day
      3. potassium. 1x a day

      Then I added Dr. Berg’s advice.

      fasting. i cut all caffeine, sugar chocolate dairy. i start to fish and chicken veg. only and rice. (3x a day a meal until the end of 2019). after my body adapts to this kind of lifestyle , i feel a big craving especially sugar. i lose but i always remember i can’t still walk straight. so i stop consuming sugar and continue to fast.

      2020 to 2021 transition to 2x a day meal . and year 2022 and now is 1x a day meal

      from 130 kg to 83 kg today. i can take a walk, hike, and have a proper exercise. but still can’t run. but i almost feel that this year i can. and the more i can feel that i can run. the feeling of all stress i had those years, all are gone.

      got a blood chem 7 months ago. and xray. got a perfect normal score. all and my bone density is back to normal. 👍👍
