When you eat sugar, it triggers the production of your brain's natural opioids- a key factor in addiction. Your brain essentially becomes addicted to the sugar-induced opioid release, not unlike addictions to morphine or heroine.
Like many types of addictions, sugar addiction can be deadly. Evidence is mounting that sugar is a primary contributing factor not only in obesity & diabetes, but other chronic degenerative diseases such as cancer.
Sugar really is "the most unhappy of pleasures" because, although it gives you moments of pleasure, the more you eat, the more you crave. The bitter and inevitable results? It damages your health.
You are not doomed, though! This addiction is commonly broken by the many people who have used our detox program. As with most everyone, energy returns & joint aches disappear- as well as sugar cravings!

Most people now know that sugar is bad for you. What most probably don't know is that it's how it effects our body that makes it so bad for us.
Eating any kind of sugar has the potential to reduce our body's immune system by 75% or more for four to six hours.
The white blood cells of the body need lots of vitamin C to attach & neutralize foreign invaders such as bacteria, virus and cancer cells. Sugar is very similar to the structure of vitamin C & will take up vitamin C's binding sites on the white blood cell when we ingest too much sugar. This weakens the white blood cells, leaving them incapable of fighting foreign invaders.
Now remember all the various chemicals that our body is overwhelmed with? and how they trick our DNA into making cancerous cells? Well how is our immune system going to neutralize those cancer cells when all the sugar we eat is keeping it at a standstill?
Some of you are wondering with all the sugar you eat in a day, how are you still alive?
Good question!
By the way... sugar makes you fat.
Truth, folks! And good reasons for you to take second look at your diet and make some changes.

Back in August and September of 2004, a group called the Environmental Working Group (EWO) in collaboration with Commonweal tested umbilical cord blood from 10 babies born in U.S. hospitals.
They were testing for industrial chemicals and pollutants in the cord blood which was collected by the Red Cross after cutting. The results were astonishing!
Among the findings were industrial chemicals, pollutants and pesticides- 287 chemicals in all. The average per baby was 200! Of the 287 chemicals, 180 are known to cause cancer in humans or animals, 217 are toxic to the brain and nervous system, and 208 cause birth defects or abnormal development in animal tests.
It's no wonder cancer rates in the U.S. are continually increasing!
Do you agree that now, more than ever, good nutrition and supplementation that promotes detoxification is important? Let us know!
