YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT

If it is true that "we are what we eat", we must be really sweet, because the main thing we eat is sugar. The average American consumes over 105 pounds of sugar per year. Studies have shown that sweets and desserts, soft drinks and alcoholic beverages comprise almost 25 percent of all calories consumed by Americans. Unfortunately, while we may be sweet, we are also sick.

These sugary foods cause inflammation that results in far too many disease states to list, but a few of the main ones are:

Obesity and Diabetes

Heart Disease

Immune System Depression/Cancer

Accelerated Aging

Inflammatory Brain Conditions

Chronic Diseases including Degenerative Diseases

Chronic Pain

Back in 1988 the Surgeon General's report stated that "approximately 2/3 of all deaths in US are associated with imbalance in diet and nutrition". The truth is "what we eat" is the main thing that determines "who we are" health wise.
