Sugar Addiction - Evan Bradley
Introduction
There has been a lot of debate about the possible negative effects of dietary sugar on human health. In the last few decades a series of scientific studies have been undertaken with the same goal: to establish a connection between the increased intake of dietary sugar and several major health risks with obesity being a major focus.
The majority of those studies remove sugar intake from the context of overall human metabolism in which sugar is only one of three major nutrients used in energy production and the cell’s development processes. In addition, not one of those trials took psychological components into consideration when deriving a conclusion.
This results in a partial view and leaves wide space for speculation – both affirmative and negative. Publicly accessible sources of information such as blog posts, reviews, reports and web articles as well as work done by prominent medical individuals are already using those partial studies and adjusting them to serve a bigger message.
With few exceptions, studies are conducted in a controlled environment using rodents as subjects. Subjects were exposed to a high dosage of sucrose (table sugar), high-fructose corn syrup and processed fructose in order to see its influence on the current metabolic status.
It is irrational to presume that the average consumer will deliberately expose their body to such high levels of dietary sugar over a longer period of time. It is also logical to assume that the same negative effects can be observed if we were to force large quantities of water onto rats instead of sugar. The conclusions from such a study just don’t make sense.
One of the main goals of the research conducted for the development of this book was to distill hundreds of trials and studies in order to be able to observe them from an angle that would ultimately allow reaching logical and unbiased conclusions. In addition, all trials funded by the sugar industry were disregarded. The primary focus was on trials that included humans and where high-carbohydrate intake was only a part of the complete daily diet of men, women and children participating in those trials.
This book puts those studies in the context of the human metabolism as a whole while also taking into consideration the primary underlying instinctual and cognitive behaviors of the average consumer in terms of feeding habits. It avoids discussing the commonly known and does not argue current trading or production policies worldwide.
It does discuss most recently elevated concerns about the lipogenic[1] effect of dietary fructose, used in HFCS as a main sweetener of carbon beverages, soft drinks and other processed food in USA.
Those findings, along with the sum of all reviewed trials will be thoroughly explained in order to see if there is a real connection between dietary sugar and several suggested negative effects
