White sugar and white flour are slow acting ;poisons for the body. If fifty percent of the population would cut them out of their diet, the doctors' offices would be practically empty. These substances do not contribute anything positive to your health, but the negatives they bring are huge. Want to lose weight, feel better, stave off cancer, and enjoy life to its fullest? Give up these two items. Add exercise to the mix and your life will be much better.

My goodness you all are crazy.

All things in moderation and stay active.

In reply to Cynic It's easier to demonize food choices and get sucked into nutritional tribalism than to work out 3-5x a week for a lifetime.

Watch TikToks on sugar? Yaaaaaas

Go be active? Nahhh

This is how most Americans think/act.

In reply to bam02 Agree to disagree.

Those same Americans could keep their sugar but add exercise and be way healthier.

People place too much emphasis on magic fixes in their nutritional intake.

Doesn't matter if you're sedentary and deconditioned. As most folks are.

In reply to TikkaShooter I am guessing we don't actually disagree on this, but I think the idea that a realistic amount of exercise that the average American could incorporate into their lives would be enough to overcome the detrimental effects of the amount of sugar and processed junk that the average American consumes.

Yes people are way more sedentary than they were a hunter's ago but they also eat way more of that junk than they did a hundred years ago.

In reply to bam02 Agree.

And which parasites are these?

There are three types of parasites that can cause diseases in humans.

• Protozoa: Protozoa parasites are single-celled organisms. Protozoa can only multiply, or divide, within the host.
• Helminths: These are worm parasites. They are typically visibleTrusted Source to the naked eye at their adult stage. Unlike protozoa, they cannot multiply in humans.
• Ectoparasites: These live on rather than in their hosts. They include lice, fleas, and mosquitos.

In reply to Craigy So cutting out sugar will cure my lice problem?

Did you crib this from a junior high science textbook?

You're finding new and cringy ways of scaring people about sugar. It doesn't help at all.

No, google. Keep eating your sugar you will be fine.

Please send link that all purpose white flour is a poison that causes cancer

---

Flour is just another unnecessary carb that people could do without. Common thought is that "cancer loves sugar", so folks probably just put 1 and 1 together.

---

Obviously, if you have cancer, then you are going to be making adjustments to what you put in your body to combat it. That does not mean the same as, sugar causes cancer. Never mind the sentiment being conveyed is that sugar is poisonous, which kind of implies any amount will kill you. Poisonous and causes cancer are two different things.

Pure white flour is fine. Problem is that all flour in the US is genetically tainted.

Read, "Wheat Belly"

In reply to Southlake How is all flour genetically tainted?
