It turns out, many people don’t know the answer to this question—do you?

Today, we’re going to talk about sugar and nutrients. I want to cover why sugar depletes nutrients. 


Why sugar depletes nutrients (as well as refined carbs, juices, and sodas):

In your energy factory called the mitochondria, there is an engine that involves fuel and oxygen. In order to burn glucose, there are essential cofactors or coenzymes that are basically the keys that start the engine. 

Essential cofactors and coenzymes:

 • B1

 • Zinc 

 • Potassium

 • Magnesium 

 • Chromium 

 • Manganese 

 • Calcium 

 • Other B vitamins 

 • Vitamin C
