Sugar Myths ( Guess Where this came from )

[Guest guest]

You would think the info below came from the Worldwide Sugar Marketing

Association. Guess again. Read it, then look below.

================================

Sugar Myths -- A Trick or Treat?

 

Does sugar cause diabetes? Trigger hypoglycemia? Make you fat? Cause

hyperactivity?

 

If you thought yes, think again! Sugars really have no direct relationship

to any health problem except for their role in tooth decay.

 

After careful review of scientific studies, that's the conclusion of

nutrition and health experts. However, sugar myths are still widespread.

 

Here's the real scoop on four common misconceptions about sugar.

Causes diabetes NO

Makes you fat NO

Linked to hyperactivity NO

Triggers hypoglycemia NO

 

Addicted to sugar? NO

Not possible. The term may be used loosely to explain away a so-called

" sweet tooth. "

But an addiction is defined as either an emotional or physical dependence

or both, characterized by

symptoms of withdrawal. That doesn't happen with sugar or any other

carbohydrate.

 

The moral of this story is if you have false teeth, eat tons of sugar, NO

Problem !

 

 

 

Here is where I found this super health building information. None other

than the American Dietetic Association.
