so today we’re going to talk about what

is worse white sugar or white flour now

when I’m talking about sugar I’m not

talking about beet sugar I’m talking

about cane sugar okay and just regular

white wheat flour now beet sugar is GMO

and so is high-fructose corn syrup but

cane sugar is not now on the glycemic

index we have a sixty-three compared to

a 71 so white flour is worse than sugar

however both of them are gonna create

similar effects with the spike in

insulin we’re gonna get weight gain

especially belly fat we’re gonna get

eventually in fatty liver if we do too

much the complications of a pre-diabetic

insulin resistance and eventually

diabetes high cholesterol and the list

goes on and on and on the thing with

white sugar is they don’t use bleach

okay but they do use bleach in the flour

so what they’re gonna do with the sugars

are going to take sugar cane and they’re

gonna take out the vitamins and the

minerals they’re going to take that in a

separate thing and that’s called

molasses and what’s left is the white

sugar so the white sugar is pure

carbohydrate without the nutrients the

problem is when you consume this

concentrated white sugar without the

nutrients it will deplete you of

nutrients because in order to metabolize

that sugar you need these vitamins and

minerals okay so if you don’t have them

the body has to reach within its reserve

pull them out to use that in the burning

of that sugar so you end up with a

potassium deficiency magnesium

deficiency b1 deficiency and a calcium

deficiency now with the flour when they

refine it they also take out the

vitamins the minerals so you’re left

with a pure carbohydrate without the

minerals and vitamins but most flour is

fortified okay so they’re gonna add back

in some synthetic vitamins and iron okay

but not the type of iron that you want

those so-called nutrients they put in

create a problem especially if you have

a problem with iron which a lot of

people do it’s very difficult to get rid

of iron our bodies tend to accumulate

but we have a hard time getting rid of

so if you’re consuming food with extra

iron in the wrong source it can build up

and create a lot of problems now with

the flour they use dough conditioners to

make the dough really easy to turn into

bread and pastries and things like that

then they use a bleaching agent called

benzoyl peroxide okay which by the way

will combine with certain proteins in

the wheat like gluten and make this

thing called alloxan now alloxan is what

they used in experiments with rats when

you feed these rodents alloxan it kills

off the cells of the pancreas that make

insulin and they become a diabetic type

one okay

now I’m not saying this creates the same

effect in humans only in mice and

probably hamsters now if you have a pet

hamster or a gerbil make sure you do not

feed them this flour with benzoyl

peroxide okay because we don’t want to

give them a Locsin and make them a

diabetic type one because then you’re

gonna have to do the insulin thing it’s

gonna be a problem

all right so here’s the big negative

about flour okay potassium bromate this

is banned in Europe China Brazil and

Canada but not in the US because it’s

been known to cause cancer in animals so

they put this in the flour to make the

texture of the dough just perfect when

you make those muffins or those pastries

or the croissants okay but it comes with

the package and let’s not forget the

gluten okay so many people have a

problem with gluten it can actually

trigger an autoimmune disease and create

a lot of inflammation in your gut so as

you can see if we compare these two

there’s a lot more problems with this

than that thanks for watching if you’re
