Negative effect of sugar
Sugar is derived from sucrose. Our country consumes about 2-3 pounds of sugar each week!
Our body becomes addicted to the sweetness so much that it can become a danger to our bodies!
Sugar can “attack” our white blood cells which are our bodies defense system against diseases.The white blood cells are formally known as phagocytes.
Two teaspoons of sugar can take away our phagocytes strength by 25%!
Eating larger portions of sugar can make our immune system 100% helpless, the effect lastingfor about 4-5 hours. We call that a “sugar rush.”
This type of eating is a trap for a cold, sometimes even cancer.
