Sugar is the cocaine of the food world

“People are overfed but they are also starving to death. You could be eating 10,000 calories a day but if you’re not getting specific nutrients your body needs in a way it can digest and assimilate than you are starving on a nutritional basis. As long as you are starving on a nutritional basis, your body is going to stay hungry in order to get those specific nutrients. Manmade foods like bread and sugar trick your body into thinking you’re getting specific nutrients so your body stays hungry for it, but your cells don’t get nourished. As long as your cells don’t get nourished you’re starving on a cellular level.”
