Sugar it Bad for ya
Those of you who have read my recent blog post, “The Chiropractor Finally Gets Healthy” know that I recently experienced a significant improvement in my health as a result of a radical diet change that was part of the Standard Process Purification Diet. Through the course of this diet, I discovered the negative impact of the processed foods and sugars on my health. As a doctor who is concerned for my patients health needs beyond the common complaints of neck pain, back pain and headaches, I always encourage them to do better for themselves where diet is concerned. With that theme in mind, I stumbled across this great list of all the bad things that processed sugars do to you. The list is composed by Nancy Appleton, Ph.D., who is a nutritional consultant, researcher, lecturer, and author of Lick the Sugar Habit, Healthy Bones, and Balanced Body
