| Sugar is another substance
creating our physical problems. Sugar is so denatured and concentrated
from its original plant form that it is actually a drug. If it were introduced
to the Food and Drug Administration for approval today it would not pass.
Sugar causes irritation and
weakening of the mucous membranes of the body and robs the teeth, bones
and blood of a great percentage of their minerals. Inflammatory diseases
of the breathing and digestive organs result from the use of brown and
white sugar.
Other diseases that are caused
or worsened by the consumption of sugar include appendicitis, diabetes,
cancer, and poliomyelitis which is a painful, crippling disease caused
by inflammation of the grey matter in the spinal cord.
One of the lines of defense
our bodies have is the immune system.
A can of soda pop has 10 teaspoons
of sugar in it. Thirty teaspoons (3 cans of soda pop) will paralyze the immune
system for 24 hours, one whole day!
Caffeine, also found in some
sugar soft drinks, suppresses the immune system by upsetting the delicate
mineral balance, which deprives the immune system of essential minerals. |
