If there's a single substance that people should remove from their diet to improve their overall health, white sugar would be at the very top of my list. Indeed, I think most people would be amazed at how much better they'd feel if they stopped all sugar intake for one week. And, yes, that includes not eating any packaged or bottled foods or drinks that also have sugar in them.
You don't believe you're eating much sugar? Think again. Most soft drinks sent down the ole hatch have anywhere from eight to eleven teaspoons of sugar in each 12-ounce bottle or can. And who in this day and age drinks just one 12-ounce bottle or can a day? Talk about Big Gulps. Whoa!
Almost every processed food has sugar in it. If you don't believe me, start reading the labels. And keep in mind the many different names for empty calorie sugar: corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, cane sugar, and many others.
I challenge you to take the No Sugar for a Week Test. Read your labels and don't put anything with sugar in it into your body.
