Finally! Mainstream Truth Begins

I've been telling my clients this for a long time - SUGAR, not fat, is the real health enemy.  By controling your insulin response, you can control your likelihood of developing almost all of North Americas most chronic illnesses.  There are many books that I have recommended that explain this fact, yet some people still feel that "anything and anyone can write a book".  So for those media hounds, it's nice to see a mainstream program like 60 minutes step up to the plate and begin to expose the real dangers of sugar - in all forms (from the obvious high fructose corn syrup to bread).

Here is the link to the 15 minute video that you MUST watch and share with your friends and family:

It talks to researchers about so much of what I have been trying to convince my clients of all along - a sugar calorie is not the same as another calorie - therefore the old belief that it's merely "calories in vs calories out" that maintains our weight and health, no longer rings true.  It exposes the strong link between sugar and our most common and scary chronic diseases: Heart Disease, Cancer, Obesity, Diabetes, Metabolic Syndrome.  It also shows real data from MRI scans that proves that sugar is one on the most addictive substances on the planet.  Watch this video to help get an idea about how toxic sugar really is and begin limiting your daily intake today!

Sources of sugar in your "healthy" diet:

*Bread (all kinds - white and whole wheat are virtually no different in terms of insulin response)
*Fruit Juice

*Pop, Vitamin Waters, Sports Drinks

*Pasta

*Baked Goods

*Yogurt

*Peanut butter

*Premade Sauces (bbq sauce, pasta sauce...)

*Grains (rice, barley, oats...)

Here is my yummy sugar free breakfast from today:

2 egg spinach omelet with 1/2 an avocado

and black organic coffee
