Sugar can rob you of your youth, health, and beauty. I am not exaggerating when I say that.
Sugar causes problems for your skin via glycation. This is a natural process that takes place within the body. A Miami and New York dermatologist, Dr Fredric Brandt, has researched this in depth. The sugar will attach to various proteins when it is consumed and moves into your bloodstream. The compound created are then called advanced glycation end products (AGEs).
In turn, glycation actually increases the more sugar you eat. As the number of AGEs in your body increases, it will begin to show in your skin. It damages the cells, particularly the elastin and collagen, so your skin will begin to look older.
Collagen is one of the most important elements of your skin and has three types – I, II and III. The latter is the longer lasting of the three. However, an increased amount of sugar will cause III to degrade and turn into I. This will then degrade your skin and cause rapid aging.
AGE proteins also neutralize antioxidants and they therefore leave your skin open to damage from the environment and attacks from within via the free radicals that antioxidants are supposed to neutralize.
Eating pro-inflammatory foods with sugar shows up on the skin as a loss of radiance, dark circles under the eyes, the loss of tone, puffiness, an increase in fine lines and wrinkles, the loss of facial contours and increased pore size. These foods can also exacerbate acne, which is a systemic, inflammatory disease. I am not exaggerating when I say that sugar can rob you of your youth, health, and beauty.

All artificial sweeteners have been molecularly altered in some way. Splenda, Aspartame, Saccharin, etc have a molecular blueprint that the body no longer recognizes. So, what does the body do with these substances? Well, since the blueprint isn’t recognized by the body, there is no recognizable plan for elimination either!! Scary, but the body just has to store all the chemical constituents to protect the body from their leeching tendencies.
The body stores all this “junk” in our fat cells, and in the tissues of our organs and glands to try to hide them. The brain is SO susceptible to the harmful affects of these chemicals, that brain chemistry is altered. The Pituitary, Pineal, and Hypothalamus are in direct line to be damaged, or altered as a result.
Guess what? If the diet industry can get us to ingest their newest “altered sugar” , they are getting us to voluntarily change our brain chemistry, and ultimately, stay or get fat and stay or get ill!
These substances are DANGEROUS and should be avoided at all cost! The natural alternative is Stevia. But, even now, companies are adding some molecularly altered sugars to Stevia!! So, beware! Read the ingredient labels to make sure that your Stevia product has no other altered sugars added.
