Have You Noticed the Sugar in the Entryway?

If you’ve been by the office recently, you may have noticed a large display of sugar in the entryway—160 pounds, to be exact. That’s the average amount of sugar an American consumes each year. It’s a staggering visual that really puts things into perspective.

Many people associate sugar only with sweet treats and granulated forms, but one of the largest hidden sources is grains—especially wheat and refined flour. While your taste buds might not notice, your body processes these refined carbs very similarly to sugar. Consistently flooding our systems with these kinds of carbohydrates can lead to serious health issues, including:

  • Diabetes

  • Heart disease

  • Obesity

  • Cancer

  • Other chronic health problems

So how did we get so off track? A big part of the problem lies in the outdated and misleading nutritional guidelines many of us grew up with—specifically, the idea that the majority of our daily calories should come from grains. This misconception has contributed to a host of modern health issues.

It’s crucial to understand how to properly nourish our bodies—and we have an exciting opportunity to learn from an expert in the field.
