take a wild guess who eats the most sugar i’m  talking about age groups this group right here  

between the ages of 11 and 18 teenagers  they consume 74 grams of added sugar we’re  

only going to talk about added sugar right now  every single day that’s 18 and a half teaspoons  

of sugar every single day but check this out if  you’re one and a half years old to three years old  

you consume 36 grams of sugar that’s nine  teaspoons every single day that’s crazy now  

that’s not even the tip of the iceberg because  what i’m going to tell you next is going to shock  

you there’s some missing information or confusion  around the topic of sugar and carbohydrates  

an average person does not realize that  all carbohydrates turn into sugar in the  

body and i’m talking about the bread pasta  cereal crackers biscuits waffles pancakes  

muffins juice there’s an exception fiber even  though fiber is a carbohydrate it is not digested  

by the body because it doesn’t turn into sugars  your microbes your friendly bacteria in your gut  

eat the fiber and this is why vegetables are good  because they’re low in sugar and high in fiber  

now as far as fruits go most fruits are grown as a  hybrid in other words they’ve done certain things  

to manipulate the seeds to make them higher in  sugar to make them sweeter like the honey crisp  

apple which has 19 grams of sugar even bananas  and watermelon a long ago we didn’t have these  

super sweet fruits an apple probably was a crab  apple which was very very tart and very very sour  

so the only fruit that i recommend are the  berries blueberries raspberries blackberries  

and strawberries in small amounts now if we take  all the carbs that someone eats we get an average  

of 275 grams of carbs every single day now that  comes out to 68.75 teaspoons of sugar each day  

that’s a little more than a half a pound a day  it’s .6 pounds of sugar every single day that  

an average person is consuming now for the year  that comes out to 219 pounds so an average person  

consumes 219 pounds or 99 kilograms of sugar every  single year that is completely insane especially  

if you understand what’s normal in the body if you  take normal blood sugars let’s say 180 milligrams  

per deciliter that calculates to only about one  teaspoon of sugar in all of your blood okay so  

that’s that’s not a lot and that one tiny teaspoon  of sugar can be made from your own body out of  

non-carbohydrate source it doesn’t even have to  come from the diet it can come from your fat it  

can come from protein so what could happen to a  body when you feed it 68.75 teaspoons of sugar  

every single day you get a chronic exposure of  sugar to all of your tissues let’s go through all  

the different things that could happen number one  it’s going to affect the heart and a lot of these  

conditions can occur even before you get diabetes  but diabetes is usually inevitable take a look at  

the statistics of diabetes and it’s just it’s like  an epidemic but chronic exposure to glucose on the  

heart valves destroys the heart causes high blood  pressure it leads to a clot and even a stroke  

it can affect your teeth it can affect your breath  because sugar feeds certain bacteria that give you  

bad breath it severely affects the brain it can  give you add affecting your attention and your  

focus because it affects the cognitive part of  your brain which is memory focus and concentration  

as well as your ability to learn it  can definitely affect your overall  

mood making you irritable giving you anxiety and  even depression it can keep your brain in a state  

of fog so you can’t think clearly and over the  years it can lead to dementia and alzheimer’s  

which is considered diabetes type 3. it can  definitely affect the hormones take a look at  

someone who has pcos polycystic ovarian syndrome  the high levels of sugar that raise insulin  

increase another hormone called androgens if  you’re female you get excess facial hair you  

have hair loss your voice goes a little bit deeper  you get a gut it can severely affect your skin in  

a negative way causing not just acne but all sorts  of inflammatory conditions of your skin it creates  

a lot of inflammation in your joints creating  all the itises bursitis tendinitis arthritis  

it can affect your endurance if you play sports  you’re just going to run out of gas prematurely  

you’re going to be tired most of the time  you’re going to have the need for glasses  

eventually simply because high levels of sugar  running through your blood vessels go through the  

inner eye and affect the circulation to the nerves  causing a lot of problems with the eye including  

diabetic neuropathy eventually cataracts glaucoma  blurriness and it can even affect the shape of  

your lens alright next one is the obvious one  belly fat once you fill up the liver with fat  

it spills over around the organs causing belly  fat if you have belly fat there’s a good chance  

you have a fatty liver and the fatty liver leads  to inflammation which then leads to scar tissue  

so that could actually develop into  cirrhosis which is advanced scar tissue  

of the liver nerve pain in the bottom of the  feet and the fingertips but other than that i  

think there’s no other symptoms that you’ll get  so you’re going to be good to go all right so i  

think it would be a really good exercise for you  to take just one day and evaluate how much sugar  

you consume per day you can get one of these apps  that measures the carbs so you get some idea of  

how much sugar you actually eat on a yearly basis  and maybe that will be very motivating to avoid  

all of these conditions thanks for watching before  you go if you have a question about a product or  

you’re new to keto and you want to know  how to begin keto or you’re on keto and  

you need a debug because it’s not going as smooth  i have a keto consultant standing by to help you
