As I go about my daily life, hardly a day goes by that I am not shocked and dismayed by the current state of our health care system or the current level of consciousness of the average American.
Today, I went to Safeway to pick up a few items and noticed a young lady deliberating over which container of Truvia to buy. There were many, many options. Notice how beautiful the packaging is. Doesn’t it look like it must be good for you based on the packaging? Plants are green, and strawberries must be healthy, right? Wrong. But anyway, allow me to continue my story. No matter how you look at the situation, if the young lady at Safeway buys any container of Truvia, the owners of Truvia win, and she loses. Feel free to take some marketing courses to learn more about how marketing works. For a product like this, 90% of the cost goes into the packaging, and only about 10% covers the actual product. Isn’t that scary? The same applies to most packaged goods, especially skincare, makeup, and perfume.
I wanted the girl to know the truth, so when I saw her pick one of the containers off the shelf, I told her, “That is poison. I wouldn’t suggest you get it.” She immediately responded, “No, it’s not poison.” But yes, it is. In fact, even real sugar is poisonous. The sugar substitutes are lab experiments—synthetic chemicals not found anywhere on the planet, made in labs. They are very poisonous. The original way saccharin was developed is a disturbing story. A scientist at a manufacturing plant noticed that rats who ate a white chemical on the ground would die. The scientist, crazy enough to taste the substance, found that it tasted sweet. He then isolated the compound in the lab, and they started using it as a sugar substitute. Saccharin is still on the market despite studies showing its negative effects on brain chemistry and research documenting how it causes blindness in people living in warmer climates.
There was nothing I could say to the girl to get her to even listen to what I was saying. The concept that something on the grocery store shelf could be poisonous was completely beyond her comprehension. I showed her my business card and let her know that I teach people how to live healthier lives, but she wasn’t having any of it. She wasn’t going to listen, no matter what. If you are reading this blog post now, then hopefully you will listen to the message and not confuse it with the messenger.
For every sugar substitute they come out with, they keep finding problems with each of them. Strangely, even when they find problems, they never remove them from the market. Instead, they just come out with a new one and claim it’s better. Are the new ones better? No, of course not. They are different, less researched, and they haven’t yet discovered all the side effects of the new sugar substitutes like they have with the older ones. All sugar substitutes are poisonous. None of them are safe. If you want something sweet, try inositol powder, L-glutamine powder, L-glycine, dimethylglycine, trimethylglycine, succinate from sugar cane, honey, molasses, or even sugar. But never use those nasty, poisonous sugar substitute lab experiments. That stuff will kill you.
I hope you enjoyed this informative and fun story. Okay, maybe the story was a bit heavy, but that’s what you’ll become if you continue using sugar substitutes. They truly cause belly fat, as they contribute to the same liver toxicity that leads to belly fat in many people.
