I shared a number of mind-blowing statistics related to how much sugar is in products people consume every day, as well as the link between sugar and chronic disease.<\/p>\n<p>I also want to encourage you again to go see <a href=\"http:\/\/fedupmovie.com\/#\/page\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em>Fed Up<\/em><\/a> and take the <a href=\"http:\/\/fedupmovie.com\/#\/page\/fedupchallenge\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Fed Up Challenge<\/a>, which can help you correct your body and brain chemistry by going sugar-free for 10 days.<\/p>\n<p>A major obstacle that we as individuals and parents must overcome is the deception of the food industry. <a href=\"http:\/\/foodpsychology.cornell.edu\/op\/cerealeyes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">A recent study from Cornell\u2019s Food and Brand Lab<\/a> found that the majority of cereals marketed to children feature characters (Cap\u2019n Crunch, the Trix Rabbit, Lucky the Leprechaun, etc.) that look downward.<\/p>\n<p>These boxes are designed to make direct eye contact with the target audience, which science has shown builds trust and positive feelings toward the brand. In other words, they\u2019re trying to manipulate our children into asking us to buy cereal for them. Characters on cereals that target adults tend to look straight ahead.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->These cereal boxes are also strategically placed on shelves according to the height of the target audience. This is what we\u2019re up against as parents. Isn\u2019t it bad enough that the cardboard cereal box probably has more nutritional value than the cereal itself?<\/p>\n<p>In addition to manipulative marketing, the food manufacturers try to mislead us by using dozens of aliases for sugar. Here\u2019s a sampling of the dozens of names the food industry uses to hide sugar in the list of ingredients in the food we buy:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Agave nectar<\/li>\n<li>Barley malt<\/li>\n<li>Beet sugar<\/li>\n<li>Brown rice syrup<\/li>\n<li>Brown sugar<\/li>\n<li>Cane juice crystals<\/li>\n<li>Caramel<\/li>\n<li>Corn syrup<\/li>\n<li>Corn sweetener<\/li>\n<li>Corn syrup solids<\/li>\n<li>Crystalline fructose<\/li>\n<li>Dextrose<\/li>\n<li>Evaporated cane juice<\/li>\n<li>Fructose<\/li>\n<li>Fruit juice concentrate<\/li>\n<li>Glucose<\/li>\n<li>Grape sugar<\/li>\n<li>High fructose corn syrup<\/li>\n<li>Honey<\/li>\n<li>Invert sugar<\/li>\n<li>Lactose<\/li>\n<li>Malt syrup<\/li>\n<li>Maltodextrin<\/li>\n<li>Maltose<\/li>\n<li>Maple sugar<\/li>\n<li>Molasses<\/li>\n<li>Raw sugar<\/li>\n<li>Rice syrup<\/li>\n<li>Sucrose<\/li>\n<li>Syrup<\/li>\n<li>Xylose<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As I\u2019ve said repeatedly, the food industry profits from making us sick. We need to look for sugar aliases on food labels and avoid those products. This can be confusing because added sugars aren\u2019t clearly separated or identified on most food labels.<\/p>\n<p>Remember, ingredients are listed in descending order, beginning with the most abundant ingredients. If sugar or any of its aliases appear in the top five ingredients, that\u2019s a heavily sugared or sugar-added product, so don\u2019t buy it!<\/p>\n<p>Also, be aware that even foods considered healthy \u2013 like fruited yogurt, granola bars, instant flavored oatmeal, often have 5-7 teaspoons of added sugar.<\/p>\n<p>We do need sugar in our bodies \u2013 naturally occurring sugar.<\/p>\n<p>For example, an apple has sugar in it. It\u2019s called fructose, and God put it there. It\u2019s perfectly balanced.<\/p>\n<p>On the other hand, a granola bar has sugar added by man. This is unnatural, imbalanced sugar that we shouldn\u2019t be putting in our bodies.<\/p>\n<p>If we\u2019re going to change and transform our bodies and reverse the trend of chronic illness in our country, we can\u2019t rely on an industry that makes money by keeping us unhealthy. Let\u2019s educate ourselves and make sure we recognize the aliases of sugar. Know the difference between naturally occurring sugar and manmade, added sugars.

Let\u2019s show the food industry that we\u2019re too smart to let them take advantage of our families, and let\u2019s call them out when they try to deceive us.<\/p>\n<p><a style=\"color: #119ec4;\" href=\"http:\/\/drproodian.com\/sample-page\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" title=\"Why Detoxification Begins with Sugar\" src=\"https:\/\/naturalhealthcarecenter.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/suit-photo-240x300.jpg\" alt=\"suit photo 240x300 Why Detoxification Begins with Sugar\" width=\"192\" height=\"240\" \/>Dr. James Prood\u00adian<\/strong><\/a><span style=\"color: #373737;\">\u00a0is an accomplished chiropractic physician and health educator who founded Proodian Healthcare Family of Companies to help people feel better, function better, and live longer.
