		<description><![CDATA[Today I want to show you an important way to improve your health and protect you against a problem we&#8217;ve created in the modern world. When we cook our food, it creates a byproduct called advanced glycation end products, or AGEs, that we&#8217;re not exactly built for. But you can compensate for them with some [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It doesn’t matter how healthy or thin you are, reaching for a sugary drink is still dangerous for your heart. Four times as dangerous as not drinking one.

New research presented at the annual meeting of the American Heart Association finds that women who drank only two sugary drinks a day were nearly four times as likely to have high triglycerides, the best predictor of heart risk for women. 

They were also significantly more likely to have impaired blood sugar levels even when not eating or drinking.1 ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Want a bite?” The beautiful young girl smiles at her boyfriend as she pulls a frozen pop out of the picnic basket.

“I thought you loved me.”

“I do. So take two bites.”

“It’s got high fructose corn syrup in it.”

“So what?”

“You know what they say... that... it’s... it... uhhhhh...” He goes silent.

“What? That it’s made from corn? That it has the same number of calories as sugar? Honey... it’s fine in moderation.”

The boyfriend smiles with relief and takes the popsicle. “You only brought one?”

Cue the happy music and the choir singing in the background.

The people who make high fructose corn syrup (HFCS) haven’t let up in their TV advertising. They’re still out there claiming their chemically produced concoction is the same as natural sugar.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Ever feel a little bit naughty and reach for the sugar to add it to your morning yogurt, bowl of fruit, cup of coffee or afternoon snack for a decadent little sugar rush? You’re not alone.

Eating is an emotional experience for most people. And modern diet advice takes all the fun out of eating. Take the advice of a nutritionist or diet guru and you’ll feel like you’ve been locked away in a dungeon somewhere and you’re only allowed to eat gruel.

My basic philosophy of eating is to eat foods that you enjoy in their natural, unadulterated forms. That means for the most part, natural sugars are good, and man-made sugars are bad.

And I hate to ruin all the fun, but refined sugar is not natural. Take a look at the chart to the right and you’ll see all the steps it takes to make the white stuff. Not exactly straight from the field to your table.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Everybody loves sugar. And here’s another reason to keep it in your cupboard.

Sugar can heal your cuts, scrapes, burns, and even large wounds without leaving a scar. It kills germs and repairs tissue better than any antiseptic or disinfectant on the market.1

Sugar may just be the first antiseptic in history. People have written about its miraculous properties for over 4,000 years, since early Egyptian times. But it fell out of favor once antibiotics became available...]]></description>

As she unloaded potato chips, pastries, waffles, and pasta onto the conveyor belt, I wondered if she understood the risks she was taking. If she knew empty carbs were linked to breast cancer would she still buy them? ]]></description>
