Problems with processed sugar :
A. Lack if minerals which are spent to metabolize food, especially high energy food like sugar. Fruit comes with minerals, and that's no accident.
B. Lack of phytonutrients which oppose dybsiosis. Consuming highly refined sugar, even natural cane sugar, leaves bacterial overgrowth unopposed.
C. High calorie malnutrition. The people eating processed foods loaded with sugar are rarely getting the cofactors needed (esp B vitamins) to support their thyroid and draw down their blood glucose, leading to chronic high blood sugar, which exposes folks to the type of inflammation that underlies diabetes. Natural sugars pushes folks in the direction of eating natural anomal products, especially organs which are rich in B vits.
D. Slippery slope to industrial sugar substitutes. With the problems above, it creates an opportunity for the food industry to wrongly demonize sugar by marketing sugar substitutes which, like seed oils, absolutely obliterate the metabolism. HFCS is the best of the worst because it is fairly natural, but it containd massive quantities of hidden starch which result in like a 3-4x sugar/energy consumption; one might consume a soda with 60g of HFCS a day, not knowing it has a glycemic impact of 240g of sugar. Your metabolism would have to be incredible to draw down that much blood sugar in short period of time.
Sticking with more whole, natural sugars generally leads to better health because it avoids these not so obvious traps.
