Sugar interferes with neurotransmitter balance in the brain which is one of the reasons why it causes a high which is followed by much less desirable feelings. This is also why sugar is addictive.

The blood sugar fluctuation that sugar influences can also alter your mood in addition to compromising your health.

Eating more natural whole foods, especially those which are naturally high in protein, will provide the amino acids that will help to keep your brain chemistry in balance as well as your moods and sugar cravings. The supplement recommendations in The Mood Cure by Julia Ross might help as well.

My thanks again. I request that kindly give it a wide publicity for health of our children and grand children.

I completely agree that more people need to realize what’s going on and that health care reform is not the answer to our nation’s health problems.

I think fruit and high starch vegetables can be problematic if eaten in excess. Based on nutritional individuality, they will be more problematic for some than others.

As you mentioned, this especially applies with juicing because it makes the carbohydrates more concentrated and eliminates the fiber that helps to slow their digestion and absorption.

If our nation woke up to the truth about how we were poisoning ourselves and made the necessary changes there would be no such thing as a health care crisis.

What’s your take on natural sugar in vegetables and fruits like water melon, sweet potato, carrot, dates, fig and beet? IMO, I don’t restrict them if I’m eating them whole. But I do watch my intake of them if they’re juiced, because juices are very concentrated and without the fibers, it’s easy to go overboard.

Until the FDA and US Gov decide quit pandering to Big Agra, this information will never be given to the people who need it most (ie: Diabetics). The addiction is so hard to break, but once you do, you just can’t believe how amazing you feel!
