"DAILY BEAT 1 CREATE A SWEETER LIFE White sugar and artificial sweeteners are corrosive to everyone's health and well-being, but for those of us who are already stressed and tired, they are poison. white sugar disrupts key physiological systems, putting the body on a roller coaster of unnatural and extremely taxing highs and lows that make us feel Spent. And artificial sweeteners trick the body into overeating and have toxic side effects.1 Your body processes sugar rapidly." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"This diabetogenic personal and world lifestyle and diet includes on the level of individual responsibility: a diet high in refined carbohydrates such as white sugar and white flour; high amounts of cooked animal saturated fats; trans-fatty acids produced from cooking (and especially frying oils at high temperatures); low-fiber food; coffee and caffeinated beverages; smoking; a lifestyle devoid of love and exercise; high stress; watching TV programming." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"A Spoonful of Sugar Ne lext time you have a nagging case of spasms of the diaphragm muscles—one serious case of the hiccups—try swallowing a tea-spoonful of granulated white sugar, with no water to chase it. Sounds like a crazy confection, but it works. This remedy is even included in some medical textbooks. HYPERTENSION (High Blood Pressure) MODERATE TO SEVERE Any Fish You Wish—But Not for Eating 0, rne quirky, shockingly simple way to help control high blood pressure is to set up an in-home aquarium and watch it. Seriously." - Bottom Line Books, Uncommon Cures For Everyday Ailments (Get the book.)

"Re ined white sugar has come into general use across the globe. The processing res due is known as "molasses." Often, what is sold commercially as "brown su£ it" is actually nothing but crystallized white sugar mixed with some moras; es. n order to be assimilated by the body, pure saccharose like white sugar (also cal sd sucrose) requires the vitamins and minerals necessary for enzymatic pro messes. But since the original ones found in brown sugar, concentrated in the mo asses, have been eliminated, the body itself must provide for the lack of vi-tan ins and minerals when ingesting white sugar." - Francois Couplan, Ph.D., The Encyclopedia of Edible Plants of North America (Get the book.)

"Raw sugar is simply dirty white sugar, and brown sugar is white sugar that has been colored with a little molasses—don't be fooled by their more natural look. Many brands of salt also contain small amounts of sugar. So do the most popular sugar substitutes, such as Sweet 'N' Low, Equal, and Splenda. All three contain dextrose, and Equal and Splenda also contain maltodextrin. Soft drinks and many brands of juice often contain high-fructose corn syrup. Cherry, pomegranate, cranberry, and other juices in natural food stores are often sweetened with grape or apple juice." - Jack Challem, Stop Prediabetes Now: The Ultimate Plan to Lose Weight and Prevent Diabetes (Get the book.)

"Fast foods, alcoholic beverages, white sugar, white flour and soft drinks all have one thing in common: they do not supply the essential nutrition we need for health.16 Food Production The commercial food we now consume is grown in soil that has been seriously depleted of its minerals because of continuous farming without crop rotation or rest. In addition, there is a total dependence on chemical fertilizers and pesticides to grow produce. Depending on the soils they are grown on, there can be a significant difference between commercially grown and organically grown vegetables." - Ron Garner, Conscious Health: A Complete Guide to Wellness Through Natural Means (Get the book.)

"Some of these foods may not literally be white or beige (like a chocolate biscuit bar), but their essential ingredients are white sugar, flour, or both. Most beige foods are just baked sugar or flour, or are made to appear "healthy" by the addition of such ingredients as whole wheat flour. Don't be deceived. In general, if a package trumpets the words "all natural," "fat free," "no cholesterol," "old fashioned," "heart healthy," "sugar free," "no added sugar," or the like, run the other way." - Dr. Steven R. Gundry, Dr. Gundry's Diet Evolution: Turn Off the Genes That Are Killing You - And Your Waistline - And Drop the Weight for Good (Get the book.)

"Avoid the overconsumption of meat, alcohol, soft drinks, caffeine, coffee, most nuts, eggs, vinegar, sauerkraut, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), pasteurized milk, cheese, white sugar, and medical drugs. Add additional servings of ripe fruit, vegetables, soybeans, bean sprouts, water, raw milk, onions, figs, carrots, beets, miso, and mineral supplements. It also helps to reduce anxiety when possible and include moderate exercise in your daily regimen. Strenuous exercise can actually contribute to an acidic environment in the body because of the increased production of lactic acid." - Tom Bohager, Everything You Need to Know About Enzymes to Treat Everything from Digestive Problems and Allergies to Migraines and Arthritis (Get the book.)

"I believe that these healthy results will be repeated in all indigenous cultures who give up white flour, white sugar, cooked hydrogenated and animal fats, and return to the land and their indigenous diets and lifestyles. CHAPTER 3 PREVIEW In the next chapter we will be discussing a comprehensive theory of the causes of diabetes which will give you more insight into how to effectively manage your metabolism. This is a theory that explains the effectiveness of the clinical results. As a scientist, one understands, as with all theories, they must be proven." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Based on clinical experience, as well as world research, the number one culprit is the huge increase in intake of processed white sugar, white bread, and refined carbohydrates as distinct from complex natural carbohydrates such as beans and grains. The breakthrough in understanding diabetes was found in Dr. Thomas Cleave's 1975 book, The Saccharine Disease: Conditions Caused by the Taking of Refined Carbohydrates such as Sugar and White Flour showing that within twenty years after processed white flour and sugar are introduced into a culture, there is an "outbreak" of diabetes." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Brown sugar is merely white sugar with molasses added. • Partially hydrogenated soybean oil is a trans fat associated with heart disease, breast and colon cancer, atherosclerosis and elevated cholesterol. It is even worse than saturated fat. As you can see, this "all-natural" bread will not help you on your road to health. Even if you didn't know the particular detriments of each ingredient, taking the time to read that it's main ingredients are white flour and sugar, and that the rest of the list is lengthy, would tell you to leave it on the shelf." - Dr. Joel Fuhrman, Eat For Health: Lose Weight, Keep It Off, Look Younger, Live Longer (2 book set) (Get the book.)

"But for now, know that I will be suggesting that you eat more whole, organic foods and cut out white sugar. This said, there will be absolutely no calorie or fat counting. At the end of each of these Daily Beats, there is a Pulse section. This section is your backup, helping you integrate each suggestion into your life. Each suggestion will be repeated for a few days to help you find your pace. And then I will follow up a few times in the following days and weeks so that you can make this part of the program and healing your own." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"In Chapter 2 the reader can see that by living in the Culture of Death (expressed by: a diet and lifestyle of highly refined carbohydrates, dairy products, processed white flour, processed white sugar, cooked animal and other saturated fats, trans fats, nicotine, coffee, commercial foods high in agrochemicals, heavy metal toxicity, vaccinations, poor air and water quality, and high stress), we have created the pandemic of diabetes. In other words, diabetes is a symptom of the Culture of Death." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"In November 2000, I learned about the four deadly whites: white flour, white sugar, salt and dairy, as well as the dangers of meat. It was much too hard to give up all at once, so I started by just giving up salt. These five foods cause or contribute to over 90% of all physical problems experienced by most Americans today. I also began the popular blood type diet. In December 2000, I eliminated white flour and used only grains acceptable for Blood Type A. In January 2001, I eliminated sugar." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.)

"Molasses is the nutrient-rich syrup that is extracted to leave the crystal, which is then bleached to make "white sugar." This substance overstimulates the body and leaches nutrients from it. Light and brown sugars are refined white sugar with a little caramel added. When you take refined sugar into your body, it is close to your own internally produced glucose and escapes digestive processing, passing right through the intestines to be absorbed rapidly into the blood, where the glucose level has been established in precise balance with oxygen." - Elson M. Haas, Staying Healthy With the Seasons (Get the book.)

"Processed and altered flour and its products should be avoided, just like white sugar. Making your Own Cultures If you enjoy cultured breads, you may make and use your own culture. Just take a small amount of organic any type of wheat flour and mix it with some distilled water, put a few layers of cheesecloth over the jar, and let it sit in or on a screened patio where it is above room temperature. After 3 to 6 days check if it smells like bread or beer. If it does, it is ready for use to make your own bread. (Use a sourdough recipe.) Alternatively, you may use organic raisins." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "In a separate experiment, rats were fed with cornflakes, which consisted of useless cornstarch and white sugar. In this group some of the animals died. The researchers had expected that the animals would grow faster with cereals, yet they did not grow at all, and some of them even lost weight. Especially the rats which received cereals with high sugar content (sugar is thought to be fattening), had the least growth rates. This is a summary of the results: > The products that contained the least amounts of fat significantly increased the cholesterol levels of the rats." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "The Pitta type is the only one that can get away with eating white sugar from time to time. Maple and carob syrups are also more easily digested by the Pitta type, unless he eats these in large amounts (which unbalanced Pittas tend to do). The fats that are contained in meat, eggs, pork, etc., strongly irritate Pitta types. Fried and oily foods, too, upset a Pitta's stomach, causing heartburn and even ulcers. He also has great difficulties digesting meat and fish proteins. These foods tend to heat up his body and cause circulatory problems." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.) "Diabetes patients are almost never told that the amount of insulin the body needs to process, for example, one regular piece of steak equals the amount of insulin required for about 1/2 pound of white sugar. The reason no doctor is telling you about this is because eating the steak does not substantially raise your blood sugar levels, so it appears that meat is a safe food, especially for diabetics. And so the "disease" can progress and worsen quietly and unnoticeably." - Andreas Moritz, Timeless Secrets of Health & Rejuvenation: Unleash The Natural Healing Power That Lies Dormant Within You (Get the book.)

"None of these nutrients occur in white sugar. Unrefined sugar also offers more than twenty times as much iron and zinc as white sugar. (The other naturally processed sweeteners listed above also possess a full complement of nutrients.) Several food producers are acutely aware of the advertising advantage of no longer listing "sugar" as an ingredient. Now they still put in refined sugar but list it as "dried cane juice" or "cane juice." However, when dried cane juice is highly refined, it is simply another name for refined white sugar." - Paul Pitchford, Healing with Whole Foods: Asian Traditions and Modern Nutrition (Get the book.)

"Any product that contains white flour or white sugar also lacks at least some of the nutrients and fiber needed to help the body metabolize carbohydrates efficiently. The body, therefore, must draw on its own nutrient reserves to deal with foods made out of white flour and white sugar. This ultimately leads to nutrient deficiencies—such as of chro- mium and other nutrients—which contribute to insulin resistance. To protect yourself against Syndrome X, you should consistently avoid refined white sugar and white flour." - Jack Challem, Burton Berkson, Melissa Diane Smith, Syndrome X: The Complete Nutritional Program to Prevent and Reverse Insulin Resistance (Get the book.)

"B6), minerals (in-clu ling calcium and iron in important amounts) and various other substances. Re ined white sugar has come into general use across the globe. The processing res due is known as "molasses." Often, what is sold commercially as "brown su£ it" is actually nothing but crystallized white sugar mixed with some moras; es. n order to be assimilated by the body, pure saccharose like white sugar (also cal sd sucrose) requires the vitamins and minerals necessary for enzymatic pro messes." - Francois Couplan, Ph.D., The Encyclopedia of Edible Plants of North America (Get the book.)

"Common culprits include alfalfa, corn, peanuts, soy, eggs, beets, carrots, colas, cold beverages (which may cause bronchial spasm), dairy products (including milk and ice cream), fish, red meat (especially pork), processed foods, salt, spinach, chicken and turkey, white flour, and white sugar. (See allergies in Part Two.) Q We all need exercise to become and remain healthy. If you find exercise can induce an asthma attack, try taking 2,000 milligrams of vitamin C one hour before your workout." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"These include sweets, pastries, breads and pastas made from white flour (starches act like white sugar), chocolate, coffee, black tea, soda, and the like. For every little snack eaten, the gallbladder releases a small amount of bile. However, the secretion of just a little bile is not sufficient to completely empty the gallbladder, which raises the risk of gallstone formation. Having a constant urge to eat between meals suggests a major imbalance of the digestive and metabolic functions." - Andreas Moritz, The Liver and Gallbladder Miracle Cleanse: An All-Natural, At-Home Flush to Purify and Rejuvenate Your Body (Get the book.)

"Avoid alcohol, animal protein, beef, caffeine, chocolate, dairy products (except for those listed above), dried shellfish, fried foods, gravies, olives, pickles, salt, soy sauce, tobacco, white flour, and white sugar. Q If you have swelling of the legs and feet, sit with your feet up as often as you can. Wear support hose for swelling in the legs. Q Exercise daily and take hot baths or saunas twice a week. Q Avoid stress. Q See fasting in Part Three and follow the program. Fasting flushes excess water from the tissues." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Is it possible that long-term abuse of a substance, such as white sugar, might result in actual diagnosable diseases, such as diabetes or attention deficit disorders, but not necessarily for the reasons we originally thought? • No Intrinsic Good or Bad There are, of course, numerous examples of chronic imbalances producing symptoms that originate in all of the realms. Money can be a valuable tool used for many worthwhile endeavors. It can also be a curse. Exercise can be a productive element of a healthy lifestyle, but it also can be a stressful and harmful addiction." - Richard, Dr. DiCenso, Beyond Medicine, exploring a new way of thinking (Get the book.)

"The ability to maintain normal blood sugar levels is jeopardized by the lack of chromium in our soil and water supply and by a diet high in refined white sugar, flour, and junk foods. A number of human and animal studies have found that chromium supplements can improve insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control in the face of insulin resistance, elevated blood glucose levels, impaired glucose tolerance, and diabetes." - Phyllis A. Balch, CNC, Prescription for Nutritional Healing, 4th Edition: A Practical A-to-Z Reference to Drug-Free Remedies Using Vitamins, Minerals, Herbs & Food Supplements (Get the book.)

"Fructose does not require digestion; like white sugar, it is absorbed directly into the bloodstream. Some people claim that metabolizing fructose requires little insulin and that it therefore is the ideal sugar for people with diabetes or hypoglycemia; however, most nutritionists do not recommend it for anyone who has blood sugar problems. It does not work as well as white sugar in bread or cookie recipes, as it absorbs the liquids and can make the baked goods dry. Fructose is great in pies, though, and it dissolves better in cold beverages than white sugar. GINGER Ginger is a root vegetable." - Phyllis A.
