What I'm going to share with you is nothing new.
Here is some of the information I found when I began searching for a healthier lifestyle. This information should be taught to all school children. It should be posted in all grocery stores, like the warning message on a pack of cigarettes.
SUGAR IS TOXIC and CARBOHYDRATES CAN KILL YOU!
I'm not trying to sell anything and I receive no money or consideration if you click on any of the links provided. I'm just trying to do my small part in educating you on the subject.
If you have found this site because you too are trying to educate yourself and make changes in your life, welcome.
I'm going to share some of what I've found. I'll post quotes and links to various sites related to the subject of health and diet.
To start with, if you haven't viewed the video "Sugar The Bitter Truth" by Dr. Robert Lustig you should do it now. Dr. Lustig is Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Endocrinology at the University of California, San Francisco. He is one of the leading experts on childhood obesity, and has been a pioneer in decoding sugar metabolism.
Watch it on YouTube, here's the link:

You can also watch it on Dr. Joseph Mercola's web site at:
Dr. Mercola's site is full of helpful information.

Here's a quote from the site:
"Death by sugar" is not an overstatement...
Evidence is mounting that sugar is the primary factor causing not just obesity, but also chronic and lethal disease. There's really no doubt anymore that sugar is indeed toxic to your body, and it's only a matter of time before it will be commonly accepted as a causative factor of most cancer, in the same way as we accept that smoking and alcohol abuse are direct causes of lung cancer and cirrhosis of the liver...
Because as Dr. Lustig points out, sugar acts as a toxic substance that wreaks havoc on your health.
Changing Our Diets Could Save U.S. $1 Trillion per Year...
For the first time in history, "lifestyle" diseases -- diabetes, heart disease, and some cancers -- are killing more people than communicable diseases. And treating these entirely preventable illnesses costs more than one-seventh of the U.S. GDP.
So it stands to reason that simply preventing these diseases could save the US health care system around one trillion dollars a year!
How do we prevent them?
By putting an end to this insane over-consumption of sugar..."
If you want to know why we get fat and what to do about it you should read the book by Gary Taubes called "Why We Get Fat And What To Do About It"

This is a good beginning. If you don't learn anything else, I hope you will learn the truth about sugar and carbs. It could save your life or the life of a loved one.
More to come.
