Sugar, The Silent Killer!

Many of us can go through our entire life without having any aversions to sugar, but that doesn’t mean that we are in the clear. At the tender stages of infancy, sugars are introduced into our nutrition. What’s sad and very concerning is that as children move into the pivotal stages of development, the sugar intake increases, whether in the form of juices or fun kid- friendly snacks.
Research has proven that sugars cause developmental delays and, in some cases stunts the developmental growth. What we don’t realize is that as we grow older, sugar continues to be a huge deterrent to living our optimum life. In our adult life, many people struggle with lack of energy, malnutrition, obesity, diabetes, high-blood pressure, among many other health-related concerns and, in many of these, sugar is at the root of it all.
