today we’re going to talk about sugar I do not think people are aware of how much sugar they’re putting in their bodies and their family’s bodies take a look at right up here we have peanut marshmallows remember those things as a child 280 gram of sugar both of these combined right here couldn’t even fit them to one cup and then we get apple juice apple juice has 264 gam of su sugar I mean how many kids at parties at the school they’re drinking the apple juice thinking it’s better than soda when in fact it seems to be it has more sugar both of these combin right here and then we got Coke 136 gam of sugar that Arizona 120 gram right here you can get this at the dollar store for a buck um which a lot of this contains uh hurus corn syrup all right now hurus corn syrup is a lot cheaper than actual sugar that’s why they’re using it now it’s like 20 cents a pound um an average person consumes about 63 lbs of Hyer disc corn syrup every single year frosted oh no it’s a Froot Loops I I’d like to know how much fruit is in Froot Loops I don’t think any but they have fiber and whole grains so this Froot Loops has 96 g of sugar now the other thing you need to make a note on is that some of these refined grains like flower products might not have a lot of sugar but they have a lot of grains which isn’t listed in the sugar content so when you evaluate the food at the grocery store when you buy it always look at the sugar amounts okay little sugar on the nutrient facts it’ll have sugar grams that’s the most important thing to look at and you want that as close to zero as possible and then you want to realize that serving size per cup and then it says how many serving uh per container so you have to multiply eight serving per container times the number of sugars to get the true amount so if you’re just looking at the sugars it’s not 12 G for the whole box it’s 12 * 8 which is 96 G okay then we have neutr grain neutr grain um blueberry right it says made with real fruit but but realize that there’s so much sugar in here 96 G there’s a little bit of blueberry flavoring and puree that’s pretty much about it then we have orange drink that’s 91 grams of sugar you can get this for a buck at the dollar store and it has um a lot of high fruit corn syrup and then we have chocolate fudge soda 80 gram and then check this out Similac this is baby formula and uh what’s interesting is I try to find the sugar grams you can’t can’t find it I don’t know why but if you look on the label it’ll have total carbohydrates but it won’t have total sugar so I’m just taking the total carbohydrates assuming that Sugar simply because it’s made the first ingredient is corn syrup and then soy protein isolates so anytime it’s the first ingredient it’s the most uh material in the product okay so we have baby formula and then we have um Gatorade 58 grams of sugar dextrose they use dextrose and sucrose those sugars tend to deplete electrolytes so sugar one of the effects is it depletes potassium it depletes calcium and it depletes B vitamins when you deplete your potassium your relative sodium goes up so you retain sodium and that’s why you can gain a pound of weight after eating just a little bit of sugar because of the fluid retention then we get Vitamin Water 31 gram I mean an average um Coca-Cola 8 oz uh glass can of Coca-Cola has 38 G this says 31 not much less and again these this they should call it synthetic Vitamin Water because it’s all synthetic vitamins check this out hidden sugar in flavored yogurt 26 gram of sugar that’s really only 10 G well 12 gram less than a Coke there’s a lot of sugar in this thing right here and then Activia 25 5 g of sugar and then we have Ure we have 23 g of sugar with a lot of synthetic vitamins so when you take sugar cane itself you have tremendous amounts of nutrition which will never produce tooth decay because of all the the vitamins and minerals in in the uh sugar cane so when they separate it out into white sugar the other part of sugar is molasses okay and they have different variant degrees of of how much of molasses versus white sugar you have brown sugar you have raw sugar and then you have really dark molasses but molasses is still high in sugar as well but it has at least it has nutrition so it’s not going to form any negative effects with uh tooth decay too when you bake with molasses you’re more satisfied because of the fact that it has more nutrition it’s hard to eat a lot of it it’s easier to eat a lot of refined sugar because there’s no nutrients to turn off the brain’s hunger okay so when you eat foods high in sugar suar you tend to want to eat more and more and more of it because there’s no nutrition so it depletes various things so um the other thing I want to mention the effect of sugar is the this thing called insulin insulin regulates Sugar by uh getting the sugar out of the blood fast when you take this much sugar in in one sitting for example you’re going to have massive Whiplash of certain organs like your pancreas that flood that insulin and and Spike it to drop the sugar and what it’s doing it’s taking the sugar putting it in storage as fat triglycerides cholesterol okay that’s what it’s doing so when the blood sugar goes up and your insulin goes up to counter it um you start to create fatigue within the whole system and over time it loses control and then you end up with uh low blood sugar that’s the first step that’s like a pre-diabetic it’s called hypoglycemia hypo meaning low blood sugar gly cic means sugar so we have the situation where we have low blood sugar so here are the symptoms craving sweets okay that’s a pre-diabetic State craving sweets all the time then we have irritability uh anxiety depression add hyperactivity those are all signs of pre-diabetes because it’s hypoglycemia and uh what happens is that over time you start creating more and more damage with the system and now the insulin doesn’t work so now things Stay High in the sugar hyperglycemia that’s called diabetes why because you don’t have enough insulin to push it down so the symptoms for high blood sugar would be fatigue brain fog much like you would feel after a Thanksgiving meal so you have this lethargy this brain fog this fatigue all right and that’s diabetes and that’s why they take certain um uh drugs metformin and even insulin to start lowering the blood sugar the problem with that is that once you’re diabetic um because the sugars aren’t regulated there’s a lot of of side effects with vision you go blind eventually because it affects the nerves in the eye the optic nerve it affects the circulation in the outer fingertips in the feet so you start getting pain in your feet tingling it’s called perip neuropathy eventually losing circulation eventually losing your toes to Gang Green so has a lot of bad effects not just weight gain and in the presence of just a little bit of sugar because sugar and Insulin I’m sorry because insulin is a dominating hormone you can do a lot of good things with your diet and all it takes is a little bit of that bad thing especially as you age to create huge uh countering effects so in a little bit of sugar will block a lot of good things that you do so you can be exercising eating good and sleeping and just a little bit of sugar will bump you out of fat burning for a long time depending on your metabolism now when you’re 18 you can get away with it like myself cuz all I ate growing up was sugar sugar sugar I would live on these foods and that’s why I got unhealth because I burnt my body out I lasted till I was 28 I met a patient uh yesterday in fact uh and she lasted till she was like 48 and she she’s been living un trigger whole life and finally it caught up with her and now she has diabetes and all these other problems so that’s what’s motivating her so I’m not saying you can’t have all these things but all I’m sayi
