SUGAR DEATH

Sugar is some thing that is in foods we do not think about.  We use to eat in 1906 19 lbs. per year.  The adverage American in 1996 was eating 320 lbs. per year. 

1 pound of sugar = 115 tsp of sugar
1 pound of sugar = 11 sodas ( 12 ounces)
1 soda (12 ounces) = 40 grams of sugar =10 tsp of sugar
1 soda (20 ounces) = 69 grams of sugar =17.25 tsp of sugar
1 soda (2 liters) = 67 ounces of soda = 221 grams of sugar =55.25 tsp of sugar

Soda is death in a can. 
1. the water used is tap water and may contain impure foreign material.
2. carbon dioxide is acidic
our bodies need to be alkaline to ward off cancer and other health issues.
3. on can of soda can have 10-13 tsp of sugar per can
4. aluminum cans even with plastic liners can leach into the product as soda is very carosive.
plastic liners leach bisphenol A (ppb)

This is just in soda never mind the other things like potato chips ( yup sugar in chips) and other things .
We are a fat nation for a reason.  Sugar is in nearly everything we eat even if it does not need to be.

here are some facts:

Our bodies have 5 liters of blood which 92% is water. 
We have what equals 1 tsp of sugar in our bodies
to stay metabolically active when fasting.  ( sleeping over night, etc.)
It only takes the body 1 1/4 tsp of sugar to be in the blood for it to kick into diabetic mode.
Sugars are from many forms as our bodies convert what we eat into sugars to obtain energy.
Our bodies make the conversion naturally unless over loaded with unnecessary sugars.
We then become diabetic later in life as our bodies have had enough.  Juvenile diabetes is greater today than it has ever been.
Too much sugar effects all parts of the body including brain function.  That brain fog may be your donut or sugared coffee.  Get the facts, do the research and you will be surprised at what your eating per day.  Read those labels.  http://www.nutritiondata.com/

Today for our nutrition class we had to make an advertisement of a fruit or vegetable.  I am not fond of advertisements and do not like to stretch the truth so this is what I have come up.  The idea would be to place it in a parent magazine where the picture of the child could resonate with a mother and her choices for her young child.

 A lot can be said of the blueberry and all it has to offer.  Vitamin c, antioxidants, the fruit that has the most impact directly to our cells, low in calories, bursting with flavor, and flavornoids.  One of the most powerful antioxidants found in blueberries are the anthocyanidins.  The blue-red  flavornoid pigment have been shown to improve integrity of the veins and entire vascular system.  Besides preventing free radicals, they support the stability of the collagen matrix.  Collagen can cause cataracts, glaucoma, varicose veins, hemorrhoids, peptic ulcers, heart disease, and cancer.  Blueberries promote brain health by protecting from oxidative stress and may help some reduce the conditions such as dementia.

 However advertisements are quick to the point and usually have a catch phrase or special audience and lack of time and space must read quickly or the reader leaves the subject and dismisses it.
