Imonaquest said:I don't understand your point, J. I never implied I had nutritional deficiencies. I only said that white sugar robs your body of nutrition. I understand if someone wants to have a "treat" with white sugar in it. Not a big deal at all. But when you're adding sugar to everything like Danny Roddy suggests, that's just a dumb health strategy. Doesn't make sense at all to me to build up your health by eating nutrient rich foods, then breaking your health down with white sugar. Which is exactly what it does.
It's like making a lot of money at work, building up your savings, and blowing most of it on booze and cigarettes. Adding white sugar to things literally has no benefit to the body whatsoever unless you are in dire need of carbohydrates. At which point, eating or drinking something nutritious is a no brainer. The whole white sugar thing didnt make sense to me from the start, but I trusted Danny Roddy's Peat research. Turns out, the main man himself advised against using it!
Well, you live and learn. I'm glad I experienced the downside of added sugar. It was something I needed to go through, for more clarification of what works and what doesn't. :)
Thank you for the further clarifications, Imonaquest! It would be really helpful if you would post Ray's comments to you in the email depository. I think this information is very important especially as I could not find anything in Ray's articles to support your initial post.
I consume a lot of OJ and milk and have not found any problem with using table sugar in coffee, however, your experience has piqued my curiosity and I may cut back on my use of table sugar to see what unfolds. Interesting to me now, that I had been using chocolate syrup (cliff's recipe made with table sugar, cocoa and water) in both my milk and coffee, and had felt it had become a problem for me but I thought it was the cocoa. I still think cocoa is an issue but I'm wondering too if it may have been the sugar. Jury is still out for me on this.
Thanks!
