Very interesting video about the effects of sugar or fructose. I know this isn’t a financial topic, but what good is your money if you don’t have your health. Money ultimately buys happiness, and good health is a critical ingredient in happiness. Maybe the most important ingredient. It is a long video, but the cliff notes are: fructose (sugar) is processed by the liver just like toxins such as alcohol, ethanol, etc. The liver processes these items as fat, which makes us obese and clogs our arteries. High fructose corn syrup is in just about every processed food you eat or drink cause it is cheap and makes you crave more food. Even orange juice is bad as it is pure fructose. Whole fruit isn’t bad as you have the fiber to offset the fructose and there are other trace elements of minerals present. So fiber is a good thing and sorely lacking in our diets.
Bottom line: get off sugar. Eat foods found naturally on the earth and not processed. You will see massive changes in your life.
