Sugars and Inflammations

Welcome to part three of my mini-series on sugar and the effect it has on our health. We've already had a look at how sugar affects fat storage and part of the role it plays in aging. Today we'll look at inflammation in the body and what sugar has to do with it. All it takes is a couple of teaspoons of sugar a day for the inflammation levels in our body to increase significantly. When you consider current sugar consumption trends - South American countries consume over 51 kg of sugar per person per year (or 28 teaspoons per day), Oceania and Canada are not far behind at nearly 48 kg of sugar per person per year (or 26 teaspoons per day), Europe comes in at about 38.5 kg of sugar per person per year (or 21 teaspoons per day), the United States slightly higher at about 40 kg or sugar per person per year (or 22 teaspoons per day), and even Asian and African countries consume 18 kg and 15 kg of sugar per person per year respectively (that's nearly 10 teaspoons and 8 teaspoons per day), it is not too misleading to say that a large proportion of the world's population is suffering from unnecessary inflammation and health problems because of sugar. The American Heart Association has recommended that women limit their sugar consumption to 6 teaspoons a day and men to 9 teaspoons a day (women seem to be more prone to chronic inflammation due to excess sugar consumption than men). Inflammation is a warning sign that something is wrong. When you can see the inflammation, you tend to do something about it - but what about when you can't see it, when it is happening inside of you? Inflammation, in short, makes us sick and makes us die faster. It speeds up degeneration in the body and can lead to a variety of diseases. Sugar does not contain any essential nutrients and it disrupts the body's chemistry by changing the enzymes. The immune system is weakened and inflammation occurs. There are many different symptoms of inflammation and dis-ease in the body. Some people might feel stiff, others get headaches and migraines, yet others experience sluggishness. Most often people are not even aware of the symptoms, or put them down to other factors. They only sit up and take notice when major problems develop. Even then, most diseases would not be immediately linked to sugar. The chronic inflammation caused by excess sugar consumption would appear to play a role in the development of heart disease, cancer, stroke, high blood pressure and many other major health conditions.

Sugars and Weights

Deciding to cut out sweet things in order to drop a few (or many) pounds is a very wise choice. Sugar is, after all, a source of empty calories. Cutting back on sugar to control weight seems like a no brainer, but there is even more to it than meets the eye. Sugar contains the molecules glucose and fructose. Although glucose is essential for survival and is used by our whole metabolism, fructose is a different story. Fructose has very little use in the body, apart from in the liver where it is turned into fat. When we eat sugar we are, in effect and in a possibly overly simplified way, just adding to our fat reserves unless we burn the sugar off immediately. The fructose part of sugar can also lead to leptin resistance. Leptin is a hormone which is released by our fat cells to tell the brain that we have enough reserves and can survive for a while without eating. Leptin tells the brain that we do not need to eat. When the brain is not getting these hormonal signals, it thinks we stil...
