1096. Sweet Lies: The Devastating Impact of Sugar on Your Body

There's a study from 1973 that appeared in the Journal of Clinical Nutrition that Dr. Martin still remembers to this day. Researchers discovered that consuming 75 grams of sugar would stop white blood cells from chasing bacteria for up to 5 hours. The white blood cells would go for a siesta! Now there's a recent study from Dr. Lustig, one of the leading experts on sugar and the effect of sugar, saying that 50 grams of sugar is the level they can already assess damage to the liver. This is more reason why you really need to stop consuming sugar. Dr. Martin says if you don't do anything, at least give up sugar. If you truly want to get healthy, it's an absolute necessity!
