warning this video may cause you to

never want to eat sugar ever again so

you might want to pause this video and

get your last dose before I reveal some

very interesting information and of

course the more aware you are of what

sugar does the less you’re going to

consume it I watch people all the time

around me just consuming massive amounts

of sugar and I’m like oh my gosh how

could you possibly do that well it has

to do with awareness they just don’t

know the effects now we probably all

know the effects with weight gain and

dental decay and fatty liver and high

cholesterol and acne and high blood

pressure increase candida infections and

lowered immune system

etc etc but there’s some other things

that I want to share with you deep

inside your body that you need to know

about and it all relates to

most diseases are metabolic diseases

what does that mean metabolic diseases

it has to do with your metabolism and

when we’re talking about metabolism

we’re specifically talking about this

one

structure in our cells called the

mitochondria

mitochondrial dysfunction is responsible

for the majority of non-infectious

diseases dysfunctional mitochondria are

what’s behind

cardiovascular disease cancer in fact

the cancer you have normal cells that

turn into cancer cells because of

damaged mitochondria it’s impossible to

get cancer unless you have damage to the

mitochondria Alzheimer’s which is Type 3

diabetes kidney liver disease

all of these General metabolic diseases

if you look closely at what’s happening

as a Common Thread deep inside the cell

we have dysfunctional mitochondria there

are a lot of things that destroy the

mitochondria but at the top of the list

is sugar and foods that turn into sugar

very quickly like refined carbohydrates

like starches breads pasta cereal

crackers biscuits waffles pancakes

muffins things like that and when we

talk about sugar the majority sugar in

the U.S is beet sugar and the majority

of beets grown in the U.S are GMO so we

not only have this refined sugar we have

this

GMO type sugar which has traces of

glyphosate which is an herbicide which

I’m not going to even go there but I

just want to make you aware of that

also the amount of fructose that we

consume from drinks sodas high fructose

corn syrup is a lot different than

glucose okay so we have fructose which

is only metabolized by your liver all

the other cells in the body can’t

metabolize this this fructose so when

you’re consuming large amounts of

fructose you are overwhelming the liver

and overwhelming the mitochondria deep

in inside the liver and so if we compare

fructose to glucose glucose is actually

much better than fructose but you have

to realize even table sugar is half

glucose and half fructose honey the same

thing and when we consume this refined

sugar it’s very very unnatural because

we don’t have the normal antioxidants

that come from like the natural sugar

that with sugar cane or even that come

with fruit when you consume fruits which

is high in fructose so how does that

relate to the mitochondria

well this is what happens when you

consume a lot of sugar glucose or things

that turn into sugar what happens to the

mitochondria is becomes damaged okay now

the purpose of the mitochondria is to

turn fuel into energy with the help of

oxygen

and so now with a dysfunctional

mitochondria we now create a hypoxic low

level oxygen State and from that starts

to be created other oxygen molecules

that are very reactive to our bodies

without getting too technical the

category of these things are called Ross

and I don’t want to get into

complexities but just realize that when

you have a mitochondria that is not able

to use the oxygen you start developing a

lot of oxidative free radicals and a lot

of things that create more damage and

they’re crated because we don’t have

that oxygen so their derivatives of

oxygen that are highly reactive and

damaging to your cells and so it’s those

oxidating factors that create the

complications of glucose they create the

damage from diabetes for example they

create mutations inside the DNA of the

mitochondria mitochondria very

interesting they have their own DNA and

real quick the history of mitochondria

is their bacterial derived a long time

ago a bacteria morphed with cells to

form this symbiotic relationship that

apparently over a long period of time

ended up in our bodies so the

mitochondria the energy factories in our

cells actually originated from bacteria

and apparently we formed an agreement

with them that they specialize in

producing energy and we’ll feed them

okay we’ll eat and feed them and we’ll

give them a home but they give this this

Focus Machinery to produce energy and

they also have their own DNA but when we

consume too much sugar we get damage of

the mitochondria we get hypoxia lack of

oxygen we get uh mutation within the DNA

of the mitochondria we get decreased

numbers of mitochondria we get a lack of

fuel produced by the mitochondria

starving off your cell cells as in

Alzheimer’s for example if the

mitochondria can’t work we can’t produce

fuel for the cells and what happens in

cancer is the cell as a survival

mechanism gets its fuel outside the

mitochondria

in other places a different pathway it’s

very rudimentary it’s very uh crude and

there’s not much energy generated from

that and so the cancer cells have to

compensate by hogging up as much fuel as

they can and sugar is one of the fuels

that they go after hardcore but there’s

a tremendous amount of oxidative stress

they call it that’s produced from these

damaged mitochondria and the oxidative

stress is kind of like this high level

of oxidation with at the same time a low

level of antioxidants and this is why

when you consume a lot of refined

carbohydrates you’re getting in this

refinement process a lot of sugar but

without all the protective mechanisms

that normally come in nature like

antioxidants that can normally counter

all this oxidation and so that equals

inflammation cell damage and especially

damage to the mitochondria itself

there’s something else that’s really

interesting that happens when you

consume sugar you get a decrease in

what’s called mitophy now what is

mitophagy well there’s a condition

called autophagy which is the recycling

of old damaged cells and that’s a good

thing because you your body goes into

the state where it can clean up damaged

mitochondria and replace them with new

mitochondria and then that that’s a

really good thing to prevent cancer and

avoid all the complications that happen

with damaged mitochondria

but sugar inhibits that ability for your

body to recycle mitochondria and maybe

you’ve heard of the tests from diabetes

it’s called A1C right that measures the

amount of damaged protein in your blood

that’s heat damage hemoglobin

because when you combine all that high

level of sugar with the protein you

damage it that’s called glycation so

that glycated protein that damaged

protein can’t be cleaned up as

effectively with the sugar in your

bloodstream so that leads to a whole

bunch of problems and then now we have a

hypoxic state in the mitochondria which

increases the risk for getting cancer it

now has to generate a lot of lactic acid

that can build up in your cells you get

a severe deficiency of thymine B1

now B1 is probably one of the most

important nutrients in the mitochondria

to allow everything to work correctly

the more sugar you consume the more B1

or thymine that you need and so when you

consume a lot of sugar you deplete your

B1 reserves and what comes next is is

devastating especially in the case of a

diabetic their complication is

peripheral neuropathy mainly due to this

B1 deficiency that creates a lot of

nerve damage and so this is why one of

the great remedies for peripheral

neuropathy which

is the bottom of your feet becoming numb

or tingling or burning or your hands is

taking B1 B1 will pretty easily resolve

that that condition or at least that

complication from the high levels of

sugar but also with a B1 deficiency

there’s a lot of other problems that

occur too an anxiety state a lot of

nervous tension a lot of excessive

thinking insomnia nerve damage in other

parts of the body and also damage in

certain parts of the brain that have to

do with memory and then another thing

that gets depleted in the mitochondria

from eating a lot of refined sugar is

zinc and zinc is also needed to make

sure your mitochondria are are

bulletproofed or protected and without

zinc you get dysfunctional mitochondria

so you just might want to think about

the next time you eat that Krispy Kreme

donut or that candy bar you have to just

be aware of what the sugar does to the

deeper mitochondria in the cells that

sets your body up for a Cascade of

issues down the road so the question now

is what can we do to improve the

mitochondria well the number one thing

you should do is go on a low carb diet

it’s called the ketogenic diet cut out

sugar cut out these refined carbs you’re

going to feel better immediately and

you’ll probably find that you won’t be

depleting your B1 anymore or your zinc

anymore and also there’s other nutrients

that you won’t be depleting anymore too

the next thing is exercise especially

High intense interval training but other

types of exercise will also be

beneficial to boost your mitochondria

and this brings up another point about

athletes that are doing all sorts of

like long distance marathons or

triathlons they typically consume a lot

of carbohydrates and a lot of sugar and

you might be saying well how come

they’re able to do this with all that

Sugar well

exercise can overcompensate and exercise

alone stimulates the mitochondria

exercise protects the mitochondria now

of course I don’t recommend that as you

know something that you can do to

continue to eat sugar because I know a

lot of athletes that when they consume

the sugar they have a lot of side

effects they have a lot of problems and

complications but the point is that

because exercise strengthens the

mitochondria it tends to nullify some of

the complications from the high level of

sugar now you might also be thinking

well what about the people

a hundred years ago they were a lot

healthier than we are now and yes they

were healthier but they weren’t a lot

healthier but I will say in the last

probably 40 50 years the amount of sugar

has increased the amount of fructose has

increased the amount of snacking has

increased the amount of added sugar has

increased and all that has been

devastating but think about even like

several thousand years ago where people

eating healthier back then not

necessarily they’ve extracted these

mummies and they’ve looked at the teeth

and the arteries and the bones of

certain mummified bodies and they had

periodontal disease they had cavities

they had problems with their teeth

problems with arthritis and they

consumed a lot of flower products breads

so this is not necessarily just a new

thing that’s been going on for a long

time now another thing that can help

improve your mitochondria if we were to

look at like cold water immersion or

cold therapy it’s the cold therapy okay

they’re very uncomfortable taking the

cold shower or the cold bath immersion

that can stimulate your mitochondria way

more than heat therapy or saunas can

simply because of how uncomfortable it

is and also how our bodies were

developed to survive during winter time

and actually increase more mitochondria

when we get cold nowadays everything’s

become very very passive and comfortable

okay we get to eat to 24 7 we get to

stay in a really nice environment inside

our homes not out in the sun and by the

way being exposed to the sun does

increase your mitochondria and not

eating so frequently as in fasting

greatly stimulates your mitochondria

certain epigenetic shorter stressful

things can improve our mitochondria like

going into a higher altitude or training

in a higher altitude can stimulate your

mitochondria to adapt and become

stronger so a certain amount of stress

is good chronic stress can definitely

affect our monochondria in a negative

way insomnia lowers the mitochondria in

our body a good night rest can enhance

our mitochondria because we recover and

of course alcohol inhibits the

mitochondria but on the flip side you

can eat certain things that will

increase mitochondria like vital

nutrients there’s a lot of different

plant-based chemicals Resveratrol

quercetin the phytonutrients in green

tea and garlic can all boost your

mitochondria not to mention the

dependency on just basic nutrients that

support the mitochondria there’s this

thing in the mitochondria called the

Krebs cycle that maybe you’ve learned

about and I’ll guarantee rarely anyone

understood it back then you’d have to

really play around with it to really the

grasp or wrap your wits around it

because it’s a very complex

Machinery but the Simplicity is your

body’s turning food into energy using

oxygen and to do that process you have

to go through a bunch of steps and your

body requires B1 B2 B3 B5 and coenzyme

Q10 and other nutrients but those are

some of the basic nutrients that support

the mitochondria so if you made it this

far you now have more Awareness on what

sugar does to probably one of the most

important parts of your cell called the

mitochondria and getting off sugar is

going to be extremely therapeutic to

your overall health because it’s

something that you can do to actually

create Health to help bolster the

mitochondria versus in our Health Care

system which I’m still trying to find

the health in it because we don’t really

create Health it’s all about taking all

of these diseases that are really

metabolic in origin and treating them

with drugs which inhibit the function of

your mitochondria now since we’re on the

topic of sugar I’ve created a lot of

videos in sugar but if you haven’t seen

this one I think you’re going to find it

very interesting I put it up right here
