In recent years, sugar consumption has increased over the past century.
Lately there have been heavily advertised, a high cost, to convince the public of the qualities of sugar consumption and need.

Over half puffed breakfast cereal containing between 25 and 70% sugar. A can of legumes (chickpeas, mushrooms...) contains about 20% sugar.

One way or another, each year we consume more sugar, especially children and adolescents.

Sugar is a product that, although it is a quick calorie intake for the body, can generate various metabolic imbalances: • Ingestion of 100 g of sugar results in 15 minutes, rapid heartbeat, increased blood pressure and renal function.

• In case of a regular heavy consumption, we see fatigue of the regulatory body, the liver is charged with maintaining a proper level of sugar in the blood. It also affects the activity of white blood cells and reduces the blood antimicrobial capacity.

• When sugar enters our organism is usually separated from components that normally accompany it in the plant (cellulose, vitamins, enzymes, mineral salts ...). For this reason, tends to balance attracting certain chemicals in our bodies, especially minerals (calcium, iron, phosphorus, magnesium) and vitamins of group B. Consequently, the organism causes demineralization and impaired vital energy.

• Sugar consumption predisposes to obesity, diabetes and vascular problems.

• The sugar habit creates a dependency. Its use tricks the body, which leaves little time sated, then wake up the appetite.

The problem is compounded by observing that victims of indiscriminate consumption of sugar are children.
It is advisable to return to natural consumption of whole grains, nuts, fresh fruits and unrefined sweeteners.
