| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the with my co-host |
| 0:13.0 | My name's Jesse Chappas and I'm here with my co-host |
| 0:16.8 | Marnie Wasserman. |
| 0:18.6 | On today's podcast we're talking all about sugar. |
| 0:21.8 | We're gonna start off talking about white refined sugar, the nasty stuff, and then we're going to get |
| 0:27.9 | into some healthy alternatives that you can incorporate into your daily recipes and routine. So let's jump right into things. |
| 0:36.6 | Sugar, the white table sugar that we're all so familiar with comes from a couple of |
| 0:42.0 | different sources, one being sugar cane and the other |
| 0:46.0 | being sugar beats. The problem with these are these sugars are highly refined |

| 1:24.4 | organisms DNA into a plant. And the other huge challenge with sugar is that |
| 1:31.5 | it's providing our body with empty or naked |
| 1:33.9 | calories. We are over consuming these calories because they're so addictive and |
| 1:38.6 | they taste good and what they're doing is they're stripping our body of |
| 1:41.9 | vitamins and minerals because they don't actually have them. |
| 1:44.2 | So they've been so heavily processed that the travel time into your blood and into your cells are so quick and it causes all kinds of spikes in your blood sugar and can lead to all kinds of |
| 1:55.0 | problems. |
