Naturally, I can't promise that your situation will improve if you cut your sugar intake, but this simple change just might help restore your libido.
The Intricate Sugar-Sex Brain Connection
What is it that ties sex and sweets so closely together? Is it merely coincidental that dessert foods provide not only terms of endearment but also euphemisms for sexual partners and sex? Some folks like to call their partners "sugar," "honey," "cupcake," "muffin," and "cookie." In some circles, people talk about getting a "sugar donut" or "a jelly roll" when they're headed for the bed, not the bakery. |
| The reason more cardiologists haven't focused on the evils of sugars and simple carbs rather than cholesterol is because there is no patent on blood sugar. Basically, I'm saddened to admit, most doctors are indoctrinated or educated by the pharmaceutical industry. Drug representatives often come to doctors' offices with briefcases full of samples of cholesterol-lowering medications. These drug reps are there to talk about how the meds work, and they're armed with all kinds of literature—periodicals and copies of research studies—that "prove" the meds work. |
| That all-important glucose—a simple sugar or monosaccharide—gives us the energy to wake up in the morning, perform well at our job, score high grades in school, take care of our kids, hang out with friends, make love with our beloved, and have the stamina to exercise religiously. In short, having adequate glucose in our bloodstream allows us to go about our daily lives. |
| For example, former Coca-Cola Chairman Douglas Ivester told shareholders, in a now-famous statement in Coca-Cola's 1997 annual report, about his company's goals to make their sugary beverage "the preferred drink for any occasion, whether it's a simple family supper or a formal state dinner."
Furthermore, Ivester outlined plans to "build pervasiveness" for its products, which included putting Cola Classic and its other brands "within reach, wherever you look: at the supermarket, the video store, the soccer field, the gas station—everywhere. |
| If you're eating a lot of simple carbohydrates, you're probably not eating much fish. Americans consume only about five percent the amount of fish they did at the turn of the century."
Going Sugar Free Could Wipe Away Emotional Malaise
The bottom line is that, if you become depressed, anxious, or hostile after eating sweets, you could be helped considerably by paying close attention to what you eat. "When sugar-sensitive people eliminate sugar, they experience a lift in mood and feel more energy, less anxiety, and more optimism about the future," Dr. Christensen contends. |

Don't laugh when you find out how simple it is. Let me reveal it by explaining that this involves a nutrient that is crucial for your mental and physical health. This nutrient, when it is circulating in your body, prevents and even helps reverse early stages of prostate cancer and breast cancer. It prevents ovarian cancer; it prevents and treats osteoporosis and even the severe stages of the bone wasting disease known as osteomalacia. It prevents depression and schizophrenia, enhances brain function and the function of the pancreas. |

William Dufty recounts in Sugar Blues.
"The remedy was self-government of the body. The patient with low blood glucose must be prepared to give up refined sugar, candy, coffee, and soft drinks—these items had caused the troubles. Patients with hyperinsulin-ism could never be made dependent for a lifetime on anybody else," Dufty writes. "They had to fend for themselves. A doctor could merely teach them what to do. Hyperinsulinism or low blood glucose therapy was a do-it-yourself proposition."
"The medical profession landed on Dr. Harris like a ton of bricks. |

And yet the answers are so simple, they're right in front of us -- these healing foods that are affordable, that are readily available, that anyone can pick up and eat, and that are absolutely delicious. So it's time, I suggest, that doctors stop prescribing drugs when there are healing foods that do a better job. They should tell patients to start changing their diets, tell patients to eat some molasses and avoid processed foods. They should teach people to eat some raw nuts, including cashews, peanuts, and macadamia nuts. This will turn around the health of our country. |
| Based on the results of this study, it seems silly that anyone would continue to use antidepressant drugs to try to treat depression when there are simple healing foods available that do a better job. This is especially true when considering the potentially dangerous side effects of antidepressant drugs that are now coming to light, including increased risk of suicides, violent behavior, and other similar acts of aggression. But what healing foods in particular are we talking about in this study? |

Not only do I discuss these topics and I think in a relatively simple, readable form, but for those that are interested in going to the source, I provide almost 100 references, scientific references for almost everything that I say in the book. So everything that I say in the book is well documented by good science.
Adams: I find that fascinating. And yet, it remains controversial in so many circles. It just seems like those old beliefs are hard to change.
Dr. Holick: It's really quite remarkable. |

Any genuine health care reform should start with one simple principle: stop poisoning the people. Sorta simple, isn't it? Too simple for politicians to grasp, of course, especially when they're confused by all the special interest groups screaming at them. So don't expect any real action on protecting the American people from known poisons in the food, water and dental industries.
Democratics and Republicans, you see, don't really fight over whether the American people should be poisoned or not. They simply fight about who should be in power while the poisoning takes place. |

It's simple to learn and simple to do," said Fran.
"That's true, but it doesn't work very well," I rationalized.
Our real resistance had a different origin with the realization it would force on us yet another glimpses of our own, and each other's, mortality.
"As soon as we have the time, let's take lessons," said Fran.
"The Red Cross would be a good place."
Fran nodded. "Maybe when this book is completed."
Our hands were over our hearts, but not to pledge allegiance. |

These people have a responsibility to know the basics when it comes to preventing cancer with nutrition, and when they remain utterly ignorant of these simple concepts, they post a dire risk to public health. Anyone foolish enough to follow their advice will only end up a victim of chemotherapy, radiation or useless cancer surgeries.
And why do I get so riled up about this topic? Because black women are needlessly dying of a disease that's simple to prevent, that's why! |

To all of you who own a business or are a CEO, you can do what we're doing with two simple changes: create products so good that you don't have to spend fortunes marketing them, and share your profits and your salaries with the workers. It's almost too simple." Ralph tells these stories at schools and community events across the US, which is about the extent of the company's marketing program. At some point in each of his talks: "I grind to a halt and I say, 'take out your pencils and notebooks and I'll give you two words as a guide for life'. |

It seems very clear and simple to use.
Mike: Thank you Ben. I appreciate your questions and I enjoyed the discussion, and I know we got off track a few times. It is a simple thing to look at and understand. We went through, I believe, 26 revisions on this to make it this simple. It certainly didn't start out this way, but the USDA spent $2.5 millions dollars, and we did this for $0, and ours actually makes sense. Imagine that.
Ben: And how much did you get paid for it?
Mike: I got paid another $0. Anyway, again, it's HonestFoodGuide.org. That's where you can download it or print it. |

Surgeons have a habit of making everything sound really simple, up until the day you have the procedure done. Then, you start experiencing all sorts of rather serious side effects, and they say, "Oh yeah! That could happen as well."
Hopefully, in this experience, you've learned a lesson. And that lesson is, don’t have body parts removed by overzealous surgeons. I don’t know how to state it any simpler than that. I'm sorry I don’t have a simple solution for you to regain your health after having your gall bladder removed. |

Yet even the World Health Organization admits that 70 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple changes in food and lifestyle. That number is probably conservative, though. My own opinion is that 90 percent of all cancers can be prevented through simple food and lifestyle changes. Yet no one in the cancer industry seems interested in teaching any of these strategies to women. In the cancer industry, there is no incentive to teach women how to avoid breast cancer, because to do so would eliminate a future customer! |

How did the corporations gain so much power over government and the people? It's simple: Campaign finances. The corporations hire hoards of lobbyists who dart in and out of lawmakers' offices in Washington, leaving behind trails of cash and corruption. Most lawmakers hardly ever meet with the actual people they claim to represent. Instead, they spend their time cavorting with corporate rabblerousers who operate based on the simple principle of greed. Think Enron, but times a thousand. That's who controls Congress today. |

Because black women are needlessly dying of a disease that's simple to prevent, that's why! The system of organized medicine that controls the cancer industry today is preying upon black women, pretending to not know why they keep dying from cancer, and refusing to tell them the truth about how their skin color causes vitamin D deficiency. I'm outraged that my fellow brothers and sisters are being killed by organized medicine and denied access to truthful information about a simple, safe and absolutely free way to prevent 4 out of 5 cancers. |

The EDT program seems so simple that you might wonder why nobody thought of it before now. Part of the answer is that people who engage in strength training and bodybuilding tend to over-complicate things. They like to have all sorts of cascading systems, numbers of reps and sets, days on and days off, ladders and all kinds of numerical contortions that may not actually lend themselves to the most efficient strength enhancement system. Escalating density training puts it all in simple terms, and makes the whole thing remarkably easy to follow. |

The motivation is simple: Fear of a lawsuit about police brutality. Suppose the woman was assaulted and struck by airport police, then screamed threats about suing them or going public with her story. Many law-enforcement authorities, as we've all seen recently, tend to greatly overreact when verbally threatened. Rather than exercising restraint, they may actually assault these citizens. Don't believe me? Watch the "Don't Tase Me, Bro!" video showing six police officers assaulting, restraining, then tazing a college student who dared to speak his mind at a John Kerry rally. |

At least 90 percent of all cancers are directly preventable, for example, through simple low-cost or free solutions. There is no need for cancer to be an epidemic in our society today. Cancer is easy to prevent. Recent research shows that vitamin D supplements (or sunlight exposure, which produces vitamin D), slash cancer risk by an astonishing 77% in women (and that includes ALL cancers).
There will never be a chemical cure for cancer, because cancer is not a disease based on germs, an infection, parasite or virus. |

Yet no one in the cancer industry seems interested in teaching any of these strategies to women. In the cancer industry, there is no incentive to teach women how to avoid breast cancer, because to do so would eliminate a future customer!

That's why I started the Education Not Medication program. |

A diet that contains a high level of certain carbohydrates, especially simple sugars like fructose, causes triglyceride levels to rise, while a more moderate intake of carbohydrates (see chapters 5 and 6), along with exercise and the use of supplements as needed, can help optimize triglyceride levels and increase beneficial HDL in the blood. |

The industry refuses to educate black women about the real reasons why their cancers are more severe than white women, and it simultaneously refuses to teach black women the simple, natural solution to breast cancer prevention that can reduce national breast cancer rates by over 75 percent."
Adams backs up his assertions with charts from the National Cancer Institute as well as considerable research into the effects of vitamin D on the halting of cancer tumor growth. |

And what is this truth, you ask? It's simple: The pharmaceutical industry is a criminal organization engaged in crimes against humanity. This industry is far more dangerous than any terrorist group, has killed far more Americans than any war (including World War II), and now represents the single greatest threat to the safety of American citizens. The number of Americans killed each year by FDA-approved pharmaceuticals is -- I kid you not -- equivalent to dropping a nuclear weapon on a major U.S. city. |
