Sugar addiction is worse than addiction to cocaine and heroin. For a healthier lifestyle, ditch that sugar!

Refined sugar is everywhere, literally. Sweetening cookies, energy drinks, yogurt, ketchup and even our bread. #Insulinresistance #Sugaraddiction
The World Health Organization and American Heart Association recommends a daily intake of 24-50 grams daily, equaling between 6-12 teaspoons.

Normally consumed food gets broken down in to glucose and enters the bloodstream.
The pancreas then secretes insulin to transport the glucose to muscles, fat and liver cells for energy use. When sugar is constantly in excess, the cells do not effectively take it in, leading the pancreas to make more insulin to overcome the increasing blood glucose levels.
