Being interested in natural health, raw food, food state supplements, etc.....here is an interesting fact that might encourage us to start some spring detoxing...

Refined Sugar

An
interesting comparison
: Heroin is produced by taking the juice of certain poppy varieties and refining it into opium, then morphine, and finally into Heroin. Similarly, refined sugar is produced from taking the juice of sugar cane or beet and refining it into molasses, then brown sugar, and finally into white sugar.

Refined sugar is a drug that causes artificial highs, mood swings, depression, and energy crashes. In the 16th century, refined sugar was considered and used as a recreational drug in the royal courts of Europe.

This excerpt was taken out of a book called 'Eating For Beauty' by author David Wolfe - raw food and nutrition authority.


YIKES!...NEXT TIME I'M REACHING FOR A DONUT, I WILL THINK OF THIS :(
