    Sugar Detox - David Ortner

    1. Why is Sugar Bad?

    HUMAN BEINGS ARE PROGRAMMED to enjoy eating sugar. Some of us, however, are genetically more prone to sugar addiction (and other food addictions) than others. It’s an incredible phenomenon. Clinical research studies reveal that certain people become biologically addicted to sugar in the same way one can become addicted to heroin or cocaine or nicotine. In fact, animal studies reveal that sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine. Binging and addictive behaviors related to sugar consumption are eerily similar to the same behaviors observed in alcoholics. And, like alcohol, heroin, cocaine, and nicotine, sugar has disastrous effects on our health and well-being. We’ll take a look at this in more depth in a later chapter.

    Today, almost 70 percent of Americans are overweight. That number worldwide is an astonishing 1.5 billion. What’s behind these overwhelming statistics? Well, dozens of factors, obviously. But one of the most important contributors to obesity is eating habits. Today, human beings consume more sugar than we have at any other point in history—an average of 152 pounds per year. It has become extremely difficult for us to manage our diets properly because our taste buds and, indeed, our biological functions have been transformed by processed, high-glucose, high-sugar foods. These foods affect hormones and neurotransmitters in a way that causes us to want to eat even more, creating a vicious cycle. Eventually, the cycle leads to a host of gravely harmful diseases and health conditions.

    Research conclusively links eating or drinking too much sugar to a higher risk of obesity, high blood pressure, dementia, type 2 diabetes, dyslipidemia (a bad assortment of blood fats), cirrhosis of the liver, increased risk for certain cancers, and cardiovascular disease. Alarmingly, a new study paints an even more ominous picture. The study, which looked at sugar intake and the health of men and women over about 15 years, showed a shockingly clear trend. The more added sugar a person consumed, the greater his or her risk of dying from heart disease. People who consumed about 15 percent of their daily calories from added sugar had an 18 percent higher risk of dying from heart disease, compared to people who took in very little added sugar. For people whose added sugar intake made up over 21 percent of their daily calories, their risk of death doubled. This relationship appears to be totally independent of other factors, like weight, calories consumed, smoking, blood pressure, gender, cholesterol level, and physical activity level.

    Researchers aren’t precisely certain as to how sugar increases risk for these diseases. There are several possibilities. Sugar has been shown to increase blood pressure, which drastically affects cardiovascular health. Sugar also increases unhealthy blood fats like triglycerides and bad LDL cholesterol levels, while decreasing good HDL cholesterol. And excess sugar triggers inflammation in the body, which wreaks havoc on nearly all of the body’s functions. Finally, some studies have indicated that sugar enhances the genetic effects of obesity, increasing the heart health risks that obesity genes were already imposing to begin with.
