In last week\u2019s post<\/a>, I discussed the need to change our behavior in order to maintain the human body\u2019s natural design and avoid chronic illness. This process begins with making the decision to change, and then establishing realistic expectations, understanding what influences our decisions, deflecting those things in our lives that are unimportant or unhealthy, and establishing a written plan.<\/p>\n

Perhaps the most positive change we can make in order to avoid chronic illness is reducing bad sugars in our diets.<\/p>\n

According to The Blood Sugar Solution<\/em><\/a> by Dr. Mark Hyman, 12 percent of Americans were overweight in 1990. 35 percent of adults and one in five children are obese today.<\/p>\n

This year, for the first time in history, more people will die from the effects of obesity than starvation.<\/p>\n

There is also a growing body of evidence that points to the excessive intake of refined sugars having a role in the development of chronic illnesses like type II diabetes, heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

The folks at the Institute for Functional Medicine<\/a> (IFM) have teamed up with the producers of the movie Fed Up<\/em><\/a> to educate people about the dangers of sugar.<\/p>\n

The Fed Up website puts it simply and accurately:<\/p>\n

Everything we\u2019ve been told about food and exercise for the past 30 years is dead wrong. FED UP is the film the food industry doesn\u2019t want you to see\u2026 FED UP will change the way you eat forever.<\/em><\/p>\n

Among other things, this movie is addressing the fact that man has invented so many sources of sugar in our food supply during the past 30-40 years that shouldn\u2019t be there. The dramatic shift from whole foods to processed foods, or manmade foods, has led to chronic illness, which has been scientifically linked to sugar consumption.<\/p>\n

Consider some of the facts<\/a> brought to light by IFM and Fed Up:<\/em><\/p>\n
