Step 3: SUGAR

“In countless studies, refined sugar has been blamed for hyperactivity, diabetes, hypoglycemia, severe mood swings, decreased brain function, serious digestive problems, yeast infections, obesity, and tooth decay.  It depletes your body of all the B vitamins.  It leaches calcium from your hair, bones, blood, and teeth, interferes with absorption of calcium, protein, and other important minerals in the body, and retards the growth of valuable intestinal bacteria.  And that not all! Sugar ha a fermenting effect in your stomach.  It stops the secretion of gastric juices and inhibits the mouth’s ability to digest.”
