EP40: Sugar on Children's Health

For the first time in history, U.S. children are not expected to live longer than their parents. Why? Cases of obesity, Type 2 Diabetes, and Heart Disease are going through the roof! One out of every three U.S. adults is obese, while one in five kids is obese.

The most prominent suspect is the high consumption of SUGAR. If you're concerned about protecting your children's health (and yours too!), take a closer look at the sweet stuff in your life.

Key points that you will learn in this episode:

✔️ 80% of the food items in America now contain added sugar.
Sugar is toxic, and our kids are under attack right under our noses. Food manufacturers use scientists to figure out ways to reformulate its original state and infuse it under the guise of six different names in one packaged product.

✔️ Get to know fructose, a.k.a. high fructose corn syrup, and why this has been a popular subject among the science community for the last number of years. They are uncovering how it damages your body and its functions.

✔️ Why sugar jumps in, and it hijacks the hormone leptin's job and your brain. You stay hungrier and eat more than you should. Your pancreas, which produces insulin, which helps regulate your blood sugar, also struggles. The more sugar you have in your bloodstream, the harder your pancreas has to work. When your pancreas is pulling double shifts, it leads to obesity, metabolic syndrome, and Type 2 diabetes.

✔️ Know how to read the labels right. Kids are recommended to consume less than twenty-five grams or six teaspoons of added sugars daily. You'll be shocked how this can be consumed with a tiny juice box that you're buying from the grocery store!

✔️ Access the workbook to take some time to evaluate your family's sugar intake and assess your results. I know this is going to be really enlightening and very eye-opening for all of us.
