Sugar kills more people than alcohol, fentanyl, heroin, or cocaine combined. Per-capita consumption jumped from under 1 pound yearly in Lincoln's time to 250-350 pounds today. The real culprit is processed and added sugars like high-fructose corn syrup, not natural sugars in fruit.
What's killed more people, alcohol or sugar? Sugar. Fentanyl or sugar?
Heroin or sugar?
Sugar. Cocaine or sugar?
Sugar. When Lincoln was president, the average American ate less than 1 pound of sugar per person per year. Now, depending on who you ask, the low number is 250 pounds of sugar per person per year, and as high as 350 pounds of sugar. And you'll go, come on, Vinnie, you're saying it A pound a day?
All right, we gotta clear up the confusion about sugar because the body runs off of sugar. You just need the right sugar. And the problem really is the overconsumption of processed sugar and added sugar to processed foods and the high fructose corn syrup. But natural sugar like fruit and honey, that doesn't get processed the same way. And I do wanna add that an overconsumption of alcohol slows down the metabolism, destroys sleep quality, spikes stress hormones, hurts gut health, imbalances blood sugar, ages your skin, impact your liver, weakens your immune system, increases anxiety and depression, and interrupts muscle recovery.
