Sugar and Hormones
Sugar and Hormones
The immune system compromises the simple sugar. The refined white sugar triggers the release of insulin from the pancreas. When consumed daily the, the blood stream is always laced with insulin, which suppresses the secretion of the growth hormone from the pituitary gland. Both hormones ( insulin and growth hormone ) are inversely related ( insulin is a fat making hormone and growth hormone is a fat burner). The growth hormone is a prime regulator of the immune system.
The consumption of 100 grams of white sugar reduces the white blood cells that destroy bacteria. There is a 50% reduction within the first 2 hours of consumption.
