Sugar: The Anti-Nutrient
Justine Yau   76 ways sugar can ruin your health
At the Low Carb Grocery, we believe that absolutely everyone can benefit from cutting back on sugar. Low Carb and Sugar Free products are not just for dieters - its about making smarter choices about the foods we eat. What makes our store special of course is that the vast majority of our products contain no sugar at all, but you can still enjoy eating things like cookies, chocolate, hot chocolate, pastries, ... and 600+ other unique low carb/sugar- free products in-stock.

A lifestyle of eating excess sugar can lead to many problems. We came across this website backed by lots of great research that really hit it home: 76 Ways Sugar Can Ruin Your Health. Here are the top five:

  1. Sugar can suppress your immune system and impair your defenses against infectious disease
  2. Sugar upsets the mineral relationships in your body: causes chromium and copper deficiencies and interferes with absorption of calcium and magnesium
  3. Sugar can cause can cause a rapid rise of adrenaline, hyperactivity, anxiety, difficulty concentrating, and crankiness in children.
  4. Sugar can produce a significant rise in total cholesterol, triglycerides and bad cholesterol and a decrease in good cholesterol.
  5. Sugar causes a loss of tissue elasticity and function.
