10 Reasons Why Sugar is Bad for You

I got this list from my naturopathic doctor:

1. Sugar can suppress the immune system.
2. Sugar upsets the mineral relationships in the body.
3. Sugar can cause hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating and crankiness in children.
4. Sugar can produce a significant rise in triglycerides.
5. Sugar contributes to the reduction in defense against bacterial infection (infectious diseases).

8. Sugar leads to chromium deficiency.
9. Sugar leads to cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate and rectum.
10. Sugar can increase fasting levels of glucose.
