alright guys this is the video you’ve

been waiting for we’re gonna talk about

sneaky hidden ways to make sugar appear

to be healthier than it actually is so a

lot of times when I used to evaluate

people in my clinic and they bring in

their food and we would analyze it ok

now the first thing we would say is well

I’m not eating any sugars ok so then I

look and it’s filled with sugars but

sometimes it’s packaged in a healthy way

that it doesn’t even appear to be sugar

so I’m gonna cover some of the things

that I’ve run across that appear to be

healthy but they’re really not okay the

first one is real cane sugar ok so first

of all like compared to what what what

would be like a fake cane sugar just the

word real makes it a little bit

healthier and then we have brown sugar

right as compared to white sugar so it’s

obviously healthier well the difference

between brown sugar and white sugar is

that brown sugar has point zero zero

zero zero one percent molasses in there

so there’s a tiny bit of maybe vitamins

and minerals so insignificant that it

really is virtually the same as white

sugar then we have sugar in the raw like

that’s a lot better because it’s raw

it’s still refined sugar ok it’s gonna

create the same blood sugar issues then

we have coconut sugar sounds healthier

because it’s from coconuts how about

this organic cane sugar because of

course anything that’s organic is

healthy fruit juice concentrate because

we know fruit is healthy so it doesn’t

really matter if it’s concentrated or

not well they’re taking this fruit juice

and they’re heating it at high

temperatures and you’re getting some

massively concentrated sugar without any

nutrients so this is basically sugar

water right here how about this one made

with real fruit yeah they start out with

real fruit but then what do they end up

with after they process it or this one

made with whole grains but that’s gonna

be healthier first of all we know that

whole grains are not healthy because

they’re going to deplete certain

minerals like zinc because the phytates

not to mention the gluten in there that

destroys your stomach and I guarantee

they’re gonna also add refined grains

with

that no one wants to consume purely just

whole grains like sprouted grains or how

about this one

brown rice sugar as compared to white

rice sugar it’s the same thing then we

have beet sugar because beets are

healthier well of course the beets are

using our genetically modified so you’re

getting the added glyphosate in their

date sugar okay this might have more

vitamins and minerals which is slightly

better but it’s still gonna have the

similar glycemic effect honey

same thing it’s gonna actually spike

your blood sugars and it has a good

amount of fructose in there as well

maple syrup same deal sounds healthy

it’s not Gavin nectar ninety percent of

a gobbet nectar is fructose it’s gonna

create a massive problem with insulin

resistance this is actually worse than

high fructose corn syrup as far as

fructose goes barley malt sounds

healthier but it’s really not okay

there’s a couple other things I want to

talk about sometimes when you see the

total carbohydrates then you have very

little fiber okay chances are you’re

gonna have high sugar but sometimes you

don’t have high sugar but it’s high

carbs like this right here

okay kettles potato chips look on the

back it says that it has 24 grams of

carbohydrate and then we have two grams

of fiber but we have zero sugar so you

might think wow that’s healthy right

this is a starch and it’s a fried starch

so it’s gonna really spike your blood

sugar so you have to understand the

difference between like a starch or like

celery for example usually it’s high in

car because the fiber is carbohydrate

that’s usually high in fiber low in

sugar but because it’s high in fiber

that buffers the carbohydrate and fiber

has no effect on your blood sugar so you

don’t worry about that what you have to

worry about is like the starches like

the rice and the potato and also the

ingredients this says potato safflower

oil sunflower oil and or canola okay

I don’t like canola oil and it says

right here a hundred percent access

veggie something from our production

process is converted into biodiesel

emits 38% less co2 then petroleum diesel

well uh this that’s a good enough reason

right now to buy these chips for me says

right here are natural promised non-gmo

protected verified gluten-free well

everyone knows that there’s no gluten in

potatoes no preservatives and zero gram

of trans fats but you know the best way

to know that it’s okay to eat is if it

has the word natural okay natural so

anything that has natural on it

go ahead and eat it because it’s it’s

really good and I hope you guys know I

have a very dry sense of humor and then

I want to talk about serving size you

have serving size and then you have the

number of servings in a box or a

container have an example right here

this gough cookies right here now if you

look at the serving size which is four

cookies that would equal 31 grams of

sugar now that is a lot of sugar but

most people don’t stop it for cookies

they keep going

eight this has eight servings so it’s

eight times for eight times 31 grams of

sugar so if you consumed all of these in

one sitting you get a massive spike of

sugar so you just have to really watch

the serving size especially when they go

into teaspoons or tablespoons sauces and

things like that they’re not measuring

the whole bottle let’s see what this

says right here this says just a handful

of natural ingredients

hey sugars natural no artificial colors

flavors or preservatives that’s what I

was really concerned about the colorings

non-gmo and it’s vegan friendly wow this

is awesome

okay do you got cookies right there now

when you consume food with sugar and

protein and fat especially if it’s

cooked as in ice cream

an average ice cream has about 34 grams

of sugar has protein in there that’s

milk sugar plus a lot of fat and they

cook that you’re going to get a much

more

exaggerated spike in insulin not to

mention something called glycation which

really caused these proteins to morph

into this really sticky protein that

cool clog things up in your body yogurt

especially the sweetened filled with

sugar just tons of sugar and yogurt even

the plane has a lot of sugar and then

you have the breakfast bars again read

the ingredients you’re gonna find a lot

of sugar granola bars they might appear

to be healthy because granola is healthy

right tons of sugar but like I said

before this is what I use to know if

something’s healthy if it says natural
