If you stop eating, say, white flour and all forms of table sugar (white/brown sugar, molasses, syrup that isn't 100% just tree sap) completely for two or three weeks, you'll notice that you get very sick when you do eat it again even if it's just a super tiny bit. You'll also notice that your taste buds will have drastically changed by the end of those weeks - plain yoghurt that you found incredibly sour before, is totally edible. Suddenly you can taste the sweetness even in vegetables. This is why your grandma says "you don't need dessert, fruit is dessert enough!".

The idea is that when you eat a sugar cube, you're actually eating the same amount of sugar as you'd get from, let's pretend, 19 apples. You wouldn't normally eat that many apples in one sitting, so naturally your body can't handle that amount of sugar properly and starts working in "overdrive mode", even if you don't notice it. Due to the missing ingredients that are supposed to work together (the entire rest of the apple), the sugar can also be processed in your body in a different way than normally.

Yet when you look in your food that you've bought from the store, you'll see that there's this same added sugar in stuff like ketchup, sausages, chips, sandwich spread, bread, lunchmeat, cereal, fruit juice... When you look out for white flour, you'll see that it's in stuff like soy sauce, sometimes hotdogs... White rice flour, and they use it in gluten-free breads. And you'll be lucky if they haven't also bleached this flour (in the US, they're apparently allowed to bleach white flour with chlorine...?). If it doesn't have plain added sugar, it has aspartame (an even worse poison), or other things that are just as edited (ex. stevia that you buy at the store is apparently just as edited as normal sugar is).

And did you know, stuff like non-natural food colourings can cause things like ADD symptoms? One lady I read about in America, found food colouring even in frozen french fries.

So this "poison" is in almost literally everything you buy pre-made at the store or eat at a restaurant, and if you're unlucky you're also eating pesticides or arsenic due to how and where they grew the food. It's no wonder that people feel so lethargic and sluggish and have memory problems (or "brain-fog"), and why they get so sick, and why the rate of cancer and diabetes is clearly growing.

But, look at what they tell you. "The cancer rate isn't growing, we just have better detection methods now". "It's just hereditary". "You need this extra sugar, it's good for you, it's for energy". No, it's just what they say so they can keep selling this stuff.

Or, look at all these studies. "If you drink green tea, you have a lower rate of cancer", "If you eat rye flour, you have a lower rate of cancer". The answer is clear. If you're constantly drinking green tea, you're constantly not drinking as much soda or coffee/black tea/fruit juice (with added sugar). If you're eating rye flour, you're not eating as much white flour. They even sometimes have added sugar in empty pill capsules.
