    |  The Dangers Of Sugar.... The dangers of sugar. Sugars can cause overproduction of inflammation producing prostaglandins, PG2. Over consumption of sugar can leave us vulnerable to illness and disease. Simple sugars and processed carbohydrates are known immunosuppressants that paralyze the immune system. They: • Destroy the germ killing powers of white blood cells for as long as five hours after ingestion. • Lessen the production of antibodies, which track down foreign invaders in the bloodstream. • Interfere with the transport of Vitamin C, one of the body’s most important nutrients and antioxidants. • Weaken the immune system by causing mineral imbalances and sometimes allergic reactions. • Make cells more permeable and therefore vulnerable to invaders by neutralizing the action of the essential fatty acids. Vital for energy, B vitamins are involved in nearly every reaction of the body, from the manufacture of new red blood cells to the metabolism of carbohydrates, fat, and protein. In excess, sugar leads to deficiencies in all the B vitamins, which are essential for healthy arteries. Certain B vitamins like folate, vitamin B-6, and Vitamin B-12 are needed to prevent the buildup of homocysteine in the blood. Homocysteine is a harmful substance that causes the cell lining arterial walls to deteriorate, leading to heart attack and stroke. A deficiency of vitamin B-6 in particular, leads to atherosclerosis. Another important heart helper is the B vitamin is niacin. It is involved in the regulation of cholesterol and triglyceride levels. With the exception of Vitamin B-12 (found mostly in protein foods), whole grains and vegetables are rich sources of B vitamins. Most of those weight gainers have a lot of sugar and should be avoided, there are better carbs than those and as franco columbo called sugar, Slow Poision.
