It's been a great contributor to some of the most debilitating diseases known to man. Diabetes, heart disorders of all types, adrenal disorders, allergy, endocrine disturbances, obesity, and brain chemistry disturbances.
Shall I go on?
To truly understand how evil that white crystal really is, you need to understand bio- chemically what happens when sugar enters the bloodstream.
For maximum efficiency of the whole body the amount of glucose in the body must balance with the amount of blood oxygen. Balancing blood sugar levels is probably the key factor in maintaining even energy levels and weight management.
When we ingest sugar the sucrose passes directly to the intestines where it becomes "predigested" glucose. This is in turn absorbed into the blood (where the glucose level has already been established in precise balance with oxygen).
This balance is suddenly destroyed. Hormones pour from the adrenals to deal with these rapidly rising levels. Insulin is rushed from the pancreas to bring down the glucose level of the blood.
Going too fast, it over shoots; the bottom drops out of the blood glucose level and a second crisis develops. Other adrenal hormones must be produced to regulate the reversing of the chemical direction and bring the blood glucose levels up again. In less precise term, you get a short high when your blood sugar levels rise and a grumpy, confused low when it all suddenly swings south - sound familiar?
Repeated onslaughts of this kind lead to disturbance in endocrine function leading to numerous pathological conditions that I touched on in the opening paragraph.
These periods of high blood sugar sets in motion a harmful process called glycation (the bonding of amino acids to sugar molecules). These abnormal proteins are then incorporated into the lens of the eye and the myelin sheath around the nerves.
The collagen of the skin, the tendons and membranes are all further damaged by these glycated proteins. Translation: You get very old before your time.
