6. Concentrated Sugar

The body is really not set up to handle concentrated sugars. Although 'sugar' (not refined) is the fuel that runs our entire body, using concentrated forms of sugar found in pastries, pies, sugar-coated cereals, candy, etc., overloads the delicate control mechanism and the pancreas overreacts by producing too much insulin. There will then be a signal for food and too often a wrong choice is made when this need is acute. Thus a vicious circle is established with general effects upon our entire system and all the attendant symptoms resulting from it. Often, too little fruits and vegetables are used. Instead, the convenience-type foods take over a large percentage of the daily intake.
