Cake or Death?

Two of my v. fave bloggers: Vin Miller on natural bias and Tom Naughton of FAT both happened to the post about the simple reason why Americans have been steadily getting fatter and fatter (and sicker and sicker) since the 1960s: sugar and carbohydrates.

Vin talks about regular sugar: "particularly in America, the modern diet is very high in sugar, and this is one of the main reasons why obesity, poor health and disease has become so prevalent. Did you know that the average American over 100 pounds of sugar per year eat? A.100. Pounds.

A big bag of food in General weighs 40 kg.  More than 2 thereof. Of sugar. Per year. go to the supplier of your pet food of choice and take a look at 2 of those bags. It will give you nauseate.
And if you are against yourself says: "Oh not me ... I hardly eat sweets!"HalYes, you do it is not only candy bars and pie. look at the ingredient label for your katsup, your mayonnaise, your BBQ sauce, your spaghetti sauce. Hell, check out the label of your Campbell's Tomato Soup!
 
Did you look is the first ingredient of KFC'S with the new "healthy" grilled chicken that you congratulations just or about choosing on the baked sugar?

Please bear in mind that refined grain products, such as flour or high fructose corn syrup, sugar, too.
"If you have a moment to consider how many processed foods, most people consume on a regular basis, the reason why so many of them suffer from obesity and poor health must be clear. sugar and refined carbohydrates are an important ingredient in almost all modern food being consumed in record proportions. Many people are not aware of the associated risks and even believes that highly refined foods such as bread and pasta are healthy choices! " 

Sugars, starch and carbohydrates all the same awful thing to do to our bodies. They spike our blood sugar, get stored as fat, lead to an insulin reaction, press, when your blood sugar level bottoms out an hour later, you starved hungry again ... begin the cycle again.

Please bear in mind that your fat cells are not as pots of marbles. it's not like if you have a second helping of Red Velvet cake only eat it will save your body as fat-some marbles decline in the fat jar.
NO!Your body moves constantly all day and night, no matter if you thick or thin, this glucose marbles in and out of your fat cell pots.  They are small dynamic systems, constantly collecting fat and let your body cells not wait until the flight safety in order to get their energy, they get it all the time. Energy is released from one way or the other-the snack bar of the low-fat, organic, whole grain vegan you just choked down with a cup of soy "milk", of the fat in your fat cells, even of the protein in your own muscles-to "feed" of your body all cells.All day and all night.It doesn't matter if you're the Kiera knightly or Michael Moore.

So how is it that some of us get fat?
Vin says: "Sugar is our main source of energy and when consumed, can be converted into glycogen and saved for future use. However, many people consume an excessive amount of carbohydrates that are significantly higher than their storage capacity for glycogen, and when this happens, the sugar due to carbohydrate digestion is stored as body fat. The large amount of sugar and refined carbohydrates in processed foods exist is the main reason for this excess and the people who consume on a regular basis are often considerably overweight."

But it's not that they eat carbohydrates, right?I mean that everything of whole wheat bread and low-fat and lean meats are good for us, right? it's because fat people just eat too much.America is thicker cuz that modern Americans cannot be trusted not to Supersize, right?

NO! Diet concept has FAILED
.
As Tom says: "we don't eat too much because we more greedy than our grandparents.We eat too much because in the 1970s the McGovern Commission us convinced we need to live in the first place on low fat grains and other starches.We eat too much because our insulin levels too high. we eat too much because we have too many calories as fat are save.

In other words, we eat too much because we're too damn hungry.

But your Carb addicts who you can't tell? how many of you have seen low carbers of human eyes glaze over when you say: "no bread"?I must confess that I am just amazed that people just refuse to listen and believe all prove that their cookies, pies, chips, crackers, bagels, pasta, wraps, crusts, rolls and bread not only making them obese, but damaging their health.

But they will look at those of us who have lost surprising amounts of weight, seeing that we are thinner, healthier, more energy-but especially not hungry!-but they refuse to give their Carb Vin: stool.

"Minimizing the consumption of sugar and refined carbohydrates is truly one of the easiest ways to lose weight, but many people are not willing to give processed foods and want to compromise their health even further by instead overexercising."

It's sad, and what's worse is that the FDA would help instead of hurting the health of Americans, but won't. Vin pointed out: "such as the food and enjoy incredible profit of sugar, and the benefits of the pharmaceutical industry of all health problems it causes, the rest of us in a never-ending cycle of wanting more sugar, more weight is increasing, and still less healthy.

Tom summed it up best: "from a perspective of the public order, the focus should be shifted to encouraging people to dramatically reduce their consumption of carbohydrates; that, and the" eat less "will take care of itself. but in a country where sugar, wheat and maize are all subsidized by the taxpayers, I don't expect this kind of policy shift to happen anytime soon."

Unfortunately, I think this is true.

Once again, here are the links to the posts of Vin Miller on natural bias and Tom Naughton of FAT head that I have cited. check them out they rawk.
