Fructose and table sugar

[Guest guest]

Pg 191 Fats That Heal, Fats that Kill by Udo Erasmus:

 

The major pro-oxidants - our cell's fuel - that nature uses to build the fire of

life within us are glucose, fatty acids, and oxygen. Fruit sugar (fructose) and

table sugar (sucrose) are other pro-oxidants. Too much of any of the simple

sugars at any time increases the fire too much. We get antsy, energetic, and

hyper, and the body releases control mechanisms to dampen the excessive fire,

partly by turning excess sugars into saturated fats which slow the fire down.

 

(If high cholesterol, something is causing higher levels of LDL, and sugar

appears to a major contributor)

 

In Ch 6, The Sugar-Fat Connection, Udo Erasmus explains the mechanisms how

sugars and starches can keep us healthy and make us sick, can even kill us.

 

Another interesting book re Sugar and its impact on our health is: Sugar Blues

by Mr. Duffy. For interested members on the list, I have this book on file as a

word6 document. Feel free to ask for a copy, pls send email off list.
