When you eat refined carbohydrates like sugar, your body must borrow vital nutrients and minerals from your healthy cells to metabolize the incomplete food. Calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium are taken from various parts of the body to make use of that sugar.

Due to sugar being void in all nutrients, this causes the body to deplete its own stores of various vitamins, minerals and enzymes. When sugar consumption is continued in medium to large quantities this results in an over-acid condition result, and more minerals are needed from deep within the body to correct the imbalance.

When the body is lacking the nutrients to metabolize sugar, it cannot properly handle and rid itself of the poisonous residues. These toxins/wastes accumulate through the brain and nervous system, which in turn speeds up cellular death.
