What’s wrong with processed sugar?

Processed sugar is a drug, Queen. It triggers the same brain pathways as cocaine. It feeds candida and harmful bacteria in your gut. It spikes blood sugar, crashes energy, and promotes inflammation. Sugar consumption correlates with diabetes, heart disease, cancer, and cognitive decline. The food industry adds it to everything to keep you addicted. Natural sugars in whole fruits come with fiber that slows absorption. Processed, isolated sugar is poison. Eliminate it.
