Burn Fat Faster – Eliminating the Negative Effects of Sugar

Sugar is considered a health food, according to it's publicist. It contains zero fat, is low in calories in small amounts, and provides instant energy. These attributes are all trumped by a simple physiological fact, In large quantities, sugar will make you fat! That may seem overtly obvious, but by understanding why it adds more fat to your body, you can minimize sugar's negative effects and create a leaner, healthier body.
Eating sugar is like flipping a switch that tells your body to store more fat. Sugar is everywhere, found in soda, candy, and desserts. Hidden sugar is disguised in refined carbohydrates like bread, rice, and pasta, and even in beer and milk. Your body can't tell the difference between the two, so it quickly digests and absorbs all of these sugars into your bloodstream by converting it to glucose. For example, one slice of white bread is converted into the same amount of glucose as 4 tablespoons of sugar.

Every time you eat sugar your blood glucose level rises, which stimulates the release of insulin, a powerful hormone that signals your body to store fat. The more sugar you consume, the greater the rise in blood glucose and the more your body stores fat.
There is a lot of media coverage about the dangers of saturated fat (and for good reason), but there is not enough coverage on the dangers of sugar.
