In the last article, I went into more detail about carbohydrates and disease. In this article, I will examine other problems caused by excess sugar.
Sugars feed candida (yeasts), fungi, other pathological (toxin-producing) organisms, and cancer cells.
Sugars
In the last article, I talked about fatty acids, and how they can both heal and harm us.
Refined sugars are digested and absorbed into our bloodstream with uncanny speed, and raise blood glucose levels too high. This is
