How Sugar Ages You
Sugar is well know for making us fat, increasing the risk of diabetes and damaging the heart but not so much for its ability to rob the body of vital nutrients. Sugar literally steals your body's nutrients in order to metabolize. It also interferes with absorption of the antioxidant powerhouse, vitamin C, the absorption of most minerals, vitamins A, D, E and K and protein.
The bottom line is that if you are eating an excess amount of sugar,
you are depriving your body of life giving,
anti-aging nutrients.
How Much is Too Much?
In the early 1900s, the average person consumed just five pounds of sugar per year; today you are likely eating 150 pounds or more. Is it any wonder that almost everyone suffers from either obesity, cancer, diabetes or heart disease by their 50s? Since sugar is added to almost every processed food product, it is nearly impossible to escape. Worse sugar is not only addictive, it causes binge eating. Sugar truly is a siren leading you to believe that you can never have too much.

Gymnema sylvestre, often called gurmar, is native to India and also grown in Asia, Australia, Europe and North America.
Gymnema sylvestre is Hindi for sugar destroyer. Research at Georgetown University in Washington D.C., and King's College in London showed that it effectively reduced blood sugar levels. Even better gurmar is effective in reducing sugar cravings by blocking the pleasurable taste of sugar.
By blocking the sweet taste of sugar, you lose all cravings naturally.
One study in Japan suggested that Gymnema sylvestre may raise blood pressure level if taken for an extended time. Also, it should not be taken if you are taking drugs to lower your blood sugar levels. Before taking any herb, check with your doctor first.
