Sugar Addiction: Weight Gain, Cravings and Genetics

Jay Leno expressed on the Tonight Show that as he interviewed
people he realized that most of them had weight loss as their
New Year’s resolution. Weight is indeed a major concern in the
United States. Being overweight robs us of energy and encourages
diseases.

Obesity is a sign that the body is out of
balance. Science knows how the body gets the proper nutrition.
The answer is “Whole, live ,foods with living enzymes”. Weight
loss pills and those who promise you lasting weight control, eat
all you want, etc ,if you only take their pill, do not feed your
body. Weight loss pills and fad diets may seem to work at first,
but get off them and guess what? They do not correct the
imbalance. The weight can start to creep up again and the only
choice we have is to continue using them, although they don’t
feed the body and the long term effects may not be known.

Our bodies crave the junk foods, the rich cheese sauces, fast
food hamburgers (the biggest ones), breads, pastas and sugary
desserts that they have become accustomed to. We are addicted.
Sugars and flours make us sick, fat, and crazy. Many of the
regular grocery stores contain genetically engineered foods-no
living enzymes.

Where do the cravings come from? The basic underlying reason for
craving is malnutrition. The body is simply not getting fed.
This is confusing, especially to people who live in a country
that has more food than any other. The myriad choices of foods
in our markets would be mind-boggling for anyone who has lived
in Iraq, for instance or in many other less well-supplied
countries.

Why in a country so seemingly rich in foods ,are we starving?
Why are we 17th on the world longevity list? Why are we getting
sicker and sicker?

Consider the fact that even if you are eating vegetables and
fruits and following recommended dietary requirements what you
are eating is not feeding your body what it needs. Three areas
of information may shed some light.

First, a study of current USDA nutrient tables for various
vegetables and fruits coming off our fields today reveals a
significant drop in nutrient contents since 1975 ,some of which
are enormous. Senate Document #264,first issued in the 1930′s
and again in the 1990′s States: The impoverished soil of
American no longer provides plant foods with the mineral
elements essential to human nourishment and health. Laboratory
tests prove that the fruits, vegetables ,the grains, the eggs
and even the milk and meat of today are not what they were a few
generations ago. No man of today can eat enough fruits and
vegetables to supply his system with the minerals he requires
for perfect health because his stomach is not big enough to hold
them.. Physical ,mental and moral fitness depend largely upon an
ample supply and a proper proportion of the minerals in our
foods.

Second: thousand of Americans suffer with some sort of
assimilation problem, digestive problems or food allergies.
Stomach settlers, or anti-acid medications are one of the
highest on the popularity list in the U.S. Some of the common
complaints are acid reflux, gas and bloating, loss of energy,
being overweight ,being underweight, getting hungry soon after
eating, frequent digestive problems, elimination difficulty,
food allergies and cravings.

Third: It is currently recognized that a significant portion of
the American population is allergic to gluten in wheat.
Webster’s Dictionary defines gluten as a tenacious, elastic
protein substance esp. of wheat flour that gives cohesiveness to
dough. Additional gluten is sometimes added for extra rise in
breads. The adverse reaction to gluten in the body comes from
the body’s inability to digest this substance. The undigested
gluten forms a sticky, acidic protein paste which lines the
small intestines, blocking nutrient receptor sites. Nutrients
are lost because the receptor sites, through which nutrients are
accepted into the bloodstream for distribution to the cells, are
blocked. Especially serious is the blocking of the minerals
which feed the glands of the body and the glands run the body.
Calcium is a key controller of the alkalinity of the body. In
most cases there are no symptoms until the body is in serious
trouble, and then the person is craving the very food that is
destroying his digestive tract. There is no medical solution to
a mal-absorption issue and therefore, is dietary in nature.

Would you be surprised to find out that the very root of your
personal dietary dilemma may be indicated through your blood
type, your genetic diseases and nationalities that you do not
properly digest gluten?

A body receiving the proper nutrition and proper cleansing will
balance itself at its ideal weight for health. A person who is
adequately fed will be free of cravings, energetic, clear headed
and healthy.
