brooke sugar speech 2015



Pidzz ..  Hey ... Do any of you want to buy something that will.. make your heart race.. make you feel really good.. something that tastes good too.. (huge pause) .. It is however very addictive and poisonousness to your body.
But still tastes really good!!!
It’s the deadly white powder. SUGAR  


Sugar is one of the most addictive substances we have in our diet today.


I’m going  to tell you what sugar is and how your body copes with it, the serious effects sugar has on your body,
but don't be too alarmed because I’m also going to tell you about how to safely consume sugar and use other alternatives.


Sugar is a simple carbohydrate quickly being turned into glucose in your bloodstream. This makes your blood sugar levels spike up and drop down suddenly, making you want more sugar ... and so the addiction begins.
After all it’s not natural for our bodies to have sugar highs and lows.  This leads to diabetes. Did you know that in 2013, a massive 243 125 New Zealanders had diabetes.
Sugar leads to cavities in your teeth., it is such an enemy to dental health.
But too much sugar can also lead to many other health problems ... obesity, liver failure, pancreatic cancer, kidney disease, heart disease and of course ... addiction!!
Do any of you want to suffer from those diseases?
Absolutely not! So listen to me as I tell you how to be safe with sugar.


Unlike complex carbohydrates that we find in foods like carrots and apples, processed sugar is a simple carbohydrate. Foods that are complex carbohydrates also release the sugar more slowly and consistently into your body and hence a more natural process for your body to handle. So get your natural sugar from fresh foods They are better for us and they are still really sweet tasting.


BUT you may NOT know when you read a label how much sugar it really has!


Did you know food manufacturers are very clever at changing the name of sugar on their labelling some are ...
, treacle, fructose,glucose,sucrose,lactose,corn syrup.
These are all just .... sugar.
Take a look at the label on your food I bet you there’s sugar in it! And how much?


Did you know that only 6 teaspoons of sugar is the recommended daily intake ... I bet many of us have more than that. Do you really know how much sugar you have each day?
For example ...a can of coke.  considers This contains 10 teaspoons of sugar ... nearly double the recommended intake!. Wouldn’t it be better to squeeze a couple of oranges


Be aware ... Sugar is everywhere. What are you going to choose to eat today?
Carrots, apples and tomatoes or that deadly white refined poisonous powder ... SUGAR
