Sugar Statistics
• We eat approximately 142 pounds of sugar per
person per year
• The teenage boy eats twice that amount
• Four grams of sugar = one teaspoon
• 12 ounce soft drinks have approximately 40 grams
of sugar - or 10 teaspoons
• A glass of orange, grape or apple juice of the same
ounces has approximately the same amount of
sugar as a soft drink.

•
Upset mineral relationships
Make enzymes less available
Cause the leaky gut syndrome, gut permeability
Partially digested food gets in blood stream
This food lodges in the soft tissues and causes havoc in the body
The immune system looks at this food like a foreign invader &
remove it from blood stream
Over a period of time you exhaust your immune system which
opens the door to infectious and degenerative diseases.

STOPPING INFLAMMATION

Malnutrition
Primary Malnutrition
Do not enough food, not enough gets into the cell to function on the cellular
level
Secondary Malnutrition
Eat enough food but eat abusive foods, foods to which you react (allergic
foods), fried foods, over processed food and/or too much food
Food can become toxic and will not get to the cell to function on the cellular
level
Tercerary Malnutrition
Eat enough food, no abusive food, no foods to which you react,
and food is not fried or overcooked and you do not eat too much
If you are distressed, angry, holding judgements against others or have other
negative emotions, the food can become toxic and can not function on the
cellular level.
Fat travels in the blood in the form of a molecule
called triglyceride. When a triglyceride in the blood
reaches a cell, enzymes at the surface of the cell
break down the molecule and the fatty acids can enter
the cell. Once inside the cell, an amino acid, Lcarnitin e helps shuttle the fatty acids into a fat
burning factory inside the cell called the
mitochondria. Although fat is able to enter the cell
without using insulin to transport it lik e glucose must,
insulin blocks this fat-carnitine system and thereby
keeps the fat from entering the mitochondria where it
would be burned for energy production. Insulin
pushes the fatty acids back into triglycerides and out
of the cell e ncouraging the storage of fat in fatty
tissue. In short, excess insulin directly creates
obesity.
