I know we all have busy lives and you're tired of scouring the internet for real information on how to revolutionize your health.

That's why I'm here with a new series of short and sweet episodes that can save you time and even your life.

You may never eat sugar again after watching this.

Okay, most people do not realize how much sugar they're actually eating because unfortunately there is sneaky sugar in the majority of foods.

But the truth is doing all you can to avoid sugar is absolutely essential for your overall well-being.

So here's why. First of all, sugar is absolutely a disaster for your immune system.

Fascinating study that I've alluded to before took participants, human beings, and they gave them various forms of sugar.

They gave them table sugar. They gave them sugar in the form of what would not seem to be sugar but highly refined flour products like white bread, like bagels.

But most remarkably they gave them a glass of orange juice. Now you wouldn't think that a glass of orange juice is high in sugar.

But in fact a glass of orange juice has as much sugar as a candy bar or a can of soda.

So what happened when these individuals ate these various forms of sugar?

Well, they took blood from them every hour for six hours.

And lo and behold, the white blood cells ability to eat bacteria to eat viruses was 70% impaired even up to six hours after a glass of orange juice that healthy way to start your morning.

So sugar in and of itself absolutely wax your immune system's ability to protect you from bacteria and viruses.

And believe me, most of us know that we would like our immune system to protect us from bacteria and viruses.

The second thing is we know that there are various good bacteria in our gut and bad bacteria in our gut.

And sadly bad bacteria absolutely thrive on simple sugars, whereas good bacteria cannot use simple sugars to grow like bad bacteria.

In fact, you can watch what happens when you eat sugar and bad bacteria get a hold of it right here on the YouTube channel.

I've got a great video that demonstrates exactly what happens.

So you need to imagine what happens every time you eat sugar.
