RE: #32- Are you taking poison everyday ? Avoid it and live healthy :)
The problem is not sugar itself. The problem is that people are ignorant about the health benefits they're trading to consuming sugar.
We can find every substance we want and call it bad. But the reality is that people are ignorant of the sequences of consuming that very substance, whatever it is.
If a person knows about the dangers of sugar and still chooses to consume it, it's their problem. It's not sugar the problem, but it's a choice they make, and everybody can do what they like.
But I agree with you, sugar is bad for our health. xD
Great post! Thanks for sharing :)
You are right. Everything is your choice, if you want a good health then you know what to do. Lots of things is not good for health but people still taking it and doesn't care about it. So make a wise choice for yourself.
Thanks @cipriang :) Please upvote , resteem and follow me
@cipriang sorry but you are just playing with words... the problem is sugar, you say so in your first paragraph. What @honey-pot is trying to do is raise awareness of the community members.
You can call every substance good or bad based on whatever rationale people want... that doesn't change the facts. The facts are well known about sugar, for example, the Warburg effect explains the correlation between sugar consumption and cancer known since the 1920's.
Biologically the primary cause of ill health is sugar... behaviourly people in the fact know sugar is bad for them, most people know... sugar causes illness i.e. diabeties etc The modern world is on a sugar high and it will in time shorten the lives of billions of people due the human predispostion of wanting to consume easy energy via processed sugars.
It would be great if honey-pot would do a second post on sugar... I think it would add value to the commuity
@Arthur-Schopen, and I'm all for it. I'm all for Mr. @Honey-Pot raising our awareness to the dangers of consuming sugar. I have nothing against that.
What I'm saying is that we're always putting the blame on one substance, one person, one nation, when in fact, the problem is ourselves. We have the choice of consuming sugar or not. Nobody is forcing sugar unto you. But in order to avoid it, we must be ignorant no more, and learn about the health problems that sugar provide.
So it is not sugar itself the problem, but is the people who are not aware of it being the problem. Is the people who won't research for themselves, who won't take an interest in their own diet. Sugar is there whether we want it or not. It's a CHOICE for all of us to consume it or not. So the substance is not the problem, but the ignorance and heard mentality that is the problem.
I also think it would be great if Mr. @Honey-Pot would do a second post on sugar. Damn, we can do it ourselves also.
Anyway, thanks for the detailed response. I appreciate it :)
He hasn't raised your awareness, he's made you part of his herd. Perhaps he's leading you in the right direction, but certainly not where you want to be.
moron
Tell me arthur, what know you of sulfur? You gave him half the story
saying sugar causes cancer and ill health is like saying breathing causes death. It's a dangerous oversimplification of the pathology made by people who are lacking knowledge about the role of vitamins, minerals, and essential fatty acids. Correlation isn't causation, there are other factors at play you do not understand. I ask that you stop spouting anti-science and instead delve into the confounding variables. You'll notice that many who choose such a diet and believe this also have an inability to exercise, cognition issues, decreased motivation, and arthritis. Will you attribute all of these things to sugar even after it has been removed from ones diet?
what an irrational comment "saying sugar causes cancer and ill health is like saying breathing causes death" breathing is essential to life sugar isn't.
You sound like you are promoting sugar... anyway i won't waste my valuable time debating on such a level.
Carbohydrates aren't essential to life? Breathing doesn't cause oxidation and cell death under certain circumstances? I am promoting the ingestion of minerals like sulfur and magnesium which prevent damage from sugars which most certainly are essential to life. On which level are you willing to debate? For I have only seen you lambast my comments without understanding them. I am telling you that you only know half the story, that sugar is dangerous like you think it is when the body is lacking sulfur and magnesium. It is that you know nothing of taurine and its antiglycation effects, that you know nothing of the role magnesium or sulfur play in preventing glycation and therefor are ill-equiped to give advice to people regarding their intake of sugar and its "dangers". Atleast speak with less surety on the matter, because your level of certainty is unwarranted
While it's true that many trade nutritious foods for sugary foods. That's not to say one cannot ingest both the right nutrients to remain healthy and sugar.. It is certainly true many people are ignorant of the sequences of consuming substances. The "dangers of sugar" are confounded by other variables...
