Is Sugar Toxic?

Media_httpgraphics8ny_jifgg

One more reason to operate on the basis of principle and knowledge when it comes to your health. Sugar can cause unwanted inflammation of cells, arterial walls and the heart muscle and may be a bigger contributor to heart disease. Statin drugs have been encouraged by Big Pharma because they wanted to you believe that high cholesterol was the precursor to heart disease, as their are no drugs for "sugar-a-holics." The truth is that fats like HDL and LDL actually protect you from the ill effects of inflammation by repairing the damage caused by refined sugar. Apparently the FDA would find hard to approve this substance now. Stick to honey, maple syrup and organic cane sugar as they contain natural minerals and vitamins.
