Erin, you're awesome!

And sugar causes children to get crooked teeth. Sugar pulls minerals out of the bones, so the jawbone doesn't grow enough so teeth get crowded.

The body is trying to save the long bones. After decades of eating sugar, they have become weak and full of empty spaces. That's osteoporosis.

Most doctors will say - As you age, you lose bone mass. But people in cultures that eat little or no sugar don't get osteoporosis.

Check out Weston A Price for more info!

Quaker original oatmeal is one of the foods i eat everyday that isn't organic. It says the only ingredient is 100 percent natural rolled oats. So does this mean that it contains no flour? I was wondering because if you let it sit, a white powdery substance appears on the bowl.

[ErinHuggins]

oohhh you'd probably love steal cut oats then! i'd recommend you make the switch to organic steal cut oats. you'll have to cook them overnight, but the whole grain is better for you (1/4 cup oats, 3/4 cup water, cook in pot in oven on lowest heat over night) it's oat flour in the bottom of the bowl not white flour :)

Yo, learned a lot. But please realize that as much as I want to quit my sugar addiction, it's not easy. It's like quitting smoking. You need to provide information on how to quit. Also, could you tell me more about sugar being directly deposited as fat? I'm really curious. Thanks. Will be helpful.

[ErinHuggins]

awe. well, you assume that i'm not speaking from experience :) you are correct, sugar is very addictive. you must realize that you are a very powerful person. give yourself the credit you deserve. the bottom line is, regardless of how hard it is, the only way to quit is to reduce it from your diet while at the same time adding in whole foods. how sugar turns into fat is a huge clinical discussion, glucose = insulin = fat deposit etc... good luck!

As a teacher of 9 years I can tell you that what your neighbor kid appears to have been eating is not at all uncommon. Literally 99% of the students i have taught live on a diet of Juice boxes, pop tarts, snack cakes etc. literally 99% eat the school lunch and school breakfast (because it's cheap and the parents are too lazy to feed them in the a.m.). School lunch is pure garbage. Of course this leads to concentration problems and the parents are more than happy to then put them on drugs.

Ok this is my final word: I consumed MANY times whit powder sugar, i drink soda too, and other products with worse shape sugars, AM I SICK FAT? ADDICTED????? NO NOT AT ALL????? WTTTFFFFFFF COME ON!!! WAKE UP AND LEARN REAL BIOLOGY AT SCHOOL AGAIN WILL YOU ALL HERE!!!

[Ghei0shu0en]

The thing that makes it addictive is the way of feeding, i do understand that. parents are responsible. WHIT POWDER??? no. not at all. Poly ssaccharides and chemical sweeteners are the evils here ok? just let them drink soda. but not every day! only in weekend i do that too!

IT"T NOT THIS DANGEROUS

STOP SPREADING LIES ABOUT CONSEQUENCES YOU EXPLAIN! THESE ARE VERY CRITICAL STAGES OF SUGAR USE!

[Ghei0shu0en]

@VideoScenario THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WHTE POWDER SUGAR!!!!

[Ghei0shu0en]

@VideoScenario that is stupid, the source is the monosaccharides that comes into ur body NOTHING ELSE. the different sugar type is POLY saccharide, and saccharide that are made by factories chemical sweeteners.

The bad things about these sugars is that ur body has to obtain these sugars in a different way. when these BAD sugars come in, your body first has to cut these sugars, and makes it harder to use, so u get fat etc etc.

But she is wrong about what she says

[NNCwatcher2]

Sorry, i do not agree that sugar is so dangerous. it's only very stupid if you take to MUCH of it. YOU NEED SUGAR SUGAR GIRL!!!!

And 1 bottle of soda is not making people fat in the 1st place. when you sport enough, it does not matter.

And it is stupid too push you main energy source to hell!???

come on!

i eat A LOT of sugar and i don't get fat???? I SPORT ENOUGH AND I EAT OTHER HEALTHY STUFF LIKE FRUITS ETC!

YOU ARE TOTALLY EXAGGERATING

[soho2014]

sugar makes people fat, pure and simple.

fructose is the enemy," glucose is energy of life", Dr Lustig ,complex carbs is what the cells need, simple carbs, fructose is trash

[MrHardCash]

It is as if there are people there who want this sort of info hidden.. and they've been doing so for a long time...... where was the effing media's role here?... they just woke up to it?

I can't believe that we JUST discovered this within these recent decades.

@theguym I don't really know why there would ever be sugar in pasta; usually its just flour, egg, water, salt, maybe olive oil. But then you have to get on the discussion of carbs - pasta, breads, and pretty much all grains should actually be avoided as well. That's another story - please, look into it - for yourself. :)

[theguym]

Does pasta/spaghetti contain (bad) sugar?
