Simply Put, You Get Addicted,

like you would be to some of the deadliest drugs on the planet,

the words of Dr. Mark Hyman, a family physician, New York Times bestselling author, and a bonafide expert on the topic of this deadly white powder, a little more about the powder that kills and gives so many of us problems, our hormones, taste buds, and brain chemistry are all hijacked by this powder, not metaphorically, but biologically. Simply put, you get addicted, like you would be to some of the deadliest drugs on the planet this is because food contains not just calories or energy to fuel our cells; food contains information. When we eat this naturally occurring product, it increases our blood glucose and it tells our body to increase insulin, in order to shuttle that glucose into cells. But when we constantly eat a lot of it and have chronically high blood glucose, we develop insulin resistance, which is the predicator to developing type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance usually comes with increased fat storage, high blood pressure, and a poor cholesterol profile. Elevated blood sugar and insulin promote inflammation and cause a hormonal cascade that makes it hard to think clearly, maintain a healthy weight, stay in a good mood, have a healthy sex drive, and so much more, and what is this deadly additive product?
