Jack Lalanne - Sugarholics

This Guy Jack Lalanne was ahead of his time. Listen to what he had to say about sugar.

Absolutely no sugar! From Naturally Empowered

Absolutely no sugar! Sugar is a one-way ticket to a depleted immune system and the diseases that follow its depletion. Fresh fruit is great. Everything else is downhill after that. Refined white sugar is the worst. Brown sugar is no better. Read your labels for glucose, dextrose, sucrose, turbinate sugar, cane syrup, invert sugar, galactose, maltose and corn syrup. I would also leave out even the "healthy" sugars like raw unpasteurized honey, rice syrup, fructose, organic cane sugar and pure maple syrup. Some people need to switch to these "healthy" sugars as a transition toward a healthy diet before they take the plunge toward exceptional health. Dried fruit is best if you make it yourself in a dehydrator. If you purchase dried fruit, make sure that they are unsulphured and organic.

If sugar is a one-way ticket to disease, then artificial sweeteners make sugar look like a pleasure cruise. My advice to you is this: get off that boat now before there's no turning back

Sugar Tip from Wayne Dyer

At one of Dr. Wayne W. Dyer's lecture in August, he said that the way he lost his large belly and lost weight was when he gave up bananas completely and only consumed no more than 16 grams of sugar per day. Banana's are made up mostly of sugar and contain any where from 12-19 grams per banana depending on the size.

Slowly Transitioning

I have decided that for this month I will be slowly transitioning to my sugar free year by omitting refined sugars and alowing only fruits, and healthy sugars such as Agave, Maple Syrup, Stevia, Yacon only in moderation. Regardless sugar is sugar and too much of a good thing can still be not so good for our body.
