Negative Effects

• Eating candy, sugary snacks or other foods with high sugar content results in high levels of sugar entering the bloodstream. This also applies to refined carbohydrates, which are quickly broken down into sugars in the body. Once in the blood, the sugars stick to proteins in a process called glycation, which creates compounds that have a negative impact on the skin.

Androgen



Foods with high sugar content play havoc with insulin levels in the blood, which raises the levels of androgen, a hormone. High levels of androgen cause the skin to sag and become less supple. Less supple skin leads to wrinkles. I know who would have thought it. Yet one more reason to eat sugar in moderation.


Avoiding Sugars

• Many foods have added sugar and if you want to avoid them, it's recommended that you read the nutrition information on the food label. This might not be as simple as it sounds because very often another name is used to denote sugar as an ingredient. Among these words are dextrose, lactose, fructose, corn sweetener, fruit juice concentrate, molasses, maltose and sucrose.

The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising. Considering that highly refined sugars in the form of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn sugar are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals.

In the last 20 years, we have increased sugar consumption in the US 26 pounds to 135 lbs. of sugar per person per year! Prior to the turn of this century (1887-1890), the average consumption was only 5 lbs. per person per year! Cardiovascular disease and cancer was virtually unknown in the early 1900’s.

I know that in our present day, we are so pressed for time, that we have become a society of whatever is fast and easy is the only solution for our meals. We don’t stop to think what that fast and easy food is doing to our bodies. On our HCG program we will teach you that healthy eating CAN be fast and easy. So give us a call and set up an appointment today…..it will only take 3 weeks to convince you.

The scoop about Sucrose is that it is composed of two simple sugar molecules, glucose and fructose.  It is poorly absorbed in the intestine in this form.  It must be broken down by the enzyme called sucrase.  Blocking the action of this digestive enzyme by an inhibitor called L-arabinose.  It is a simple plant sugar that cannot be digested and is easily eliminated.  It offers a two-for-one… inhibits the spike of blood sugar and fat synthesis that would otherwise follow a sugar-rich meal. 

Do you find it hard to avoid the sugars or stick to your diet? The high failure rate of dieting is partially attributable to the severe alteration in hormone levels that occurs as part of normal aging.  We actually have the type of doctor here that tests those hormones.  Dr. Oz often promotes a Functional Medicine Doctor on his show and we have one here at the Centre for Optimum Health. Balancing hormones can get to the bottom of why you cannot lose weight no matter what you do!  What are you waiting for, a special invitation?  This is it! Come in to see Dr. Kirdani now!
