The Hidden Dangers of Sugar: Find out What Foods to Avoid
We all know that sugar is terrible for our health, so it’s no surprise that Dr. Gundry recommends avoiding it. But it’s not just in the bowl of cereal or candy bar that we need to watch out for. Unfortunately, sugar is hiding in the majority of the foods we eat.
What Foods Contain Sugar?
Sugar is hiding in foods you wouldn’t expect, such as condiments, salad dressings, and even some breakfast cereals. It’s even in foods like bread, crackers, and pasta. Even some savory snacks, like chips and popcorn, contain added sugar.
How Does Sugar Destroy Your Gut?
When we eat sugar, the bacteria in our gut feast on it. This is great for them, but not so great for us. The bacteria produce toxins that can damage the lining of our gut, leading to inflammation. This inflammation can cause digestive problems like bloating and constipation. It can also contribute to chronic conditions like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), Crohn’s disease, and ulcerative colitis.
What Can You Do to Avoid Sugar?
The best way to avoid added sugar is to read labels. Look for added sugars on the ingredient list, and avoid foods that contain high amounts of sugar. You should also try to limit your intake of processed foods, as these often contain added sugar.
Instead of processed foods, focus on eating whole, nutrient-dense foods like fruits, vegetables, legumes, and nuts. These foods are naturally low in sugar and will provide you with essential vitamins and minerals.
Conclusion
Sugar is hiding in many of the foods we eat, and it can be detrimental to our health. To avoid added sugar, read labels and avoid processed foods. Instead, focus on eating whole, nutrient-dense foods to ensure you are getting the necessary vitamins and minerals.
