New study from the University of Utah.

  Sauerkraut - how can a Russian man without it in winter? And pickles and mushrooms - what is it about them? But why was the import of Russian pickles banned recently in Finland, a country with some of the best health indicators on the planet? And why all over the world are now hastily reducing salt intake? It turns out that in recent years, doctors have discovered a lot of new dangers emanating from salt, and from another white death - sugar.

They quietly kill us, forming a dependence in the brain, similar in biochemical changes to the narcotic! Not everyone knows, but during the "Mars-500", a unique experiment to simulate a flight to the Red Planet, volunteers in a special isolated module in Moscow also experienced a diet with a limited amount of salt. And this allowed the German doctor Jens Titz accompanying the experiment to make truly revolutionary discoveries!

For a long time it was considered that thirst can be maximized from salt and you can increase your pressure a bit by drinking too much fluid. But the reality is that an excess of salt (and the average Russian eats about two glasses of “extra” salt per month) leads to a huge number of different diseases, and according to one hypothesis it even accelerates aging. In a new scientific investigation by Sergei Malozyomov, shocking tomograms will be shown, which for the first time managed to see the accumulation of salt in the body.

Sugar is worse. According to experts, we now eat about forty times more sugar than our ancestors two centuries ago. Sugar is now in everything - from ketchup to cornflakes, but most of all - in juices and sweet soda. As established by American endocrinologists, an excess of sweet in the diet can be considered one of the main causes of the global obesity epidemic, and it's not just about the calories that sugar brings ...

The author of the film, a reporter with a medical education, Sergei Malozyomov visited an American family who completely eliminated sugar from their diet for a year, and listened to the story of how their health improved - even fewer cases of colds in children.

Scientists have also received evidence that sugar can even contribute to the cancerous degeneration of cells! Could the use of sweeteners, including fashionable leaves of the South American stevia shrub, be a way out of the situation? And what does science think about sea salt and cane sugar, popular among culinary experts - are they healthier than regular salt and sugar?

Sergey Malozyomov, author of the film: “For me, the main discovery was the acquaintance with scientists who, having studied the harm of salt and sugar, were able to radically reduce their amount in their food, and did so in such a way that they remained happy people! Their receptors simply rebuilt and now feel the subtlest shades of tastes, and ordinary food seems to them too sweet and salty. And, of course, it amazes how many-sidedly harmful salt and sugar have. It turns out that salt is even deposited in certain places of our body, but not in those bumps that we used to call “salt deposits”, but from sugar we are really stupid! ”

Friends! In the new year, the amount of sweets consumed increases significantly! How does sugar and salt affect our body and the body of our children !? Let's figure it out together.

The number of cases of type 1 diabetes increases sharply after the New Year holidays! Statistics all-Russian and European.

What's the matter?
Sweet New Year's gifts - "sugar roller coaster" in the blood of the child.
Chocolate candy -3 tablespoons of sugar
Snickers - 7 tablespoons of sugar
Milky Way - 8.5 teaspoons of sugar
Chocolate marshmallows - 3 tablespoons of sugar
Caramel - 1.7 tablespoons of sugar
Chocolate Dove- 5 tablespoons of sugar
Twix -3.5 tablespoons of sugar
M & Ms - 6 tablespoons of sugar
Pack of candies - 12 tablespoons sugara.

What will happen?
  The child’s immature tender and fragile pancreas will release tons of insulin on such a huge amount of sugar.
  Insulin "glazes" all vessels - allergies, skin manifestations.
  Immunity decreases - runny nose, throat, cough.
  Choking in insulin, pancreatic cells “turn on” the reverse mechanism, diabetes develops.

Take care of children, a great moment to teach to throw all this sweet mess into the bin.
  And collect the CORRECT NEW YEAR GIFT.
  ▫ Candied fruits
  ▫ Nuts
  ▫ Natural marmalade
  ▫Fruits
  ▫ Fruit Chips
  ▫ Berry, fruit candy
  ▫Kozinaki
  ▫ Bars of cereals / dried fruits / nuts
  ▫Dried fruit candies

The best gift - educational toys!

Manufacturers intentionally add sugar substitutes and derivatives to food products. We list the most common causes:

- to improve the taste and aromatic qualities;
  - to increase the duration of storage, for example as for jelly, jams, preserves;
  - reduce the acidity of products containing vinegar and tomatoes;
  - as a filler for dairy products and pastries, such as rolls and ice cream;
  - to improve color and consistency.

  1. Fast breakfasts, such as muesli, oatmeal with fruit in bags, corn flakes, the so-called “Mivina”, mashed bags, that is all that we can prepare the bay with boiling water.
  2. Sauces and various ketchups and mayonnaises.
  3. Cooked and smoked sausages.
  4. Confectionery cakes, pastries, cookies.
  5. Bakery products such as bread and rolls, diet bread, etc.
  6. Juices and sweet soda.
  7. Liqueurs and beer, sweet wines.
  8. Semi-finished products.
  9. Various sweets chocolate and sweets.

As for low-fat products, such as yogurts, milk, diet curds, they often have sweeteners in their composition, which are deceptively considered useful. Therefore, I recommend preparing diet yogurts, smoothies, curd puddings yourself at home. It is not only tasty, but also safe for health.

Sugar is not a food product, but a pure chemical substance added to food to improve taste. This substance can be obtained in different ways: from oil, gas, wood, etc. But the most economical way to get sugar is to process beets and a special type of cane, which they called sugar cane.

From proven scientific facts:

  • Sugar leaches calcium from the body
  • Sugar robs the body of B vitamins
  • Sugar provokes fat deposits
  • Sugar negatively affects heart function
  • Sugar is a stimulant that creates stress for the body.
  • Sugar reduces immunity by 17 times
  • Sugar is proven addictive

To get a little white and neat refined sugar, it must be passed through a filter of cow bones.
  For the production of refined sugar using beef bone coal!

Sugar does not supply energy to the body. The fact is that the “burning” of sugar in the body is a very complicated process, in which, in addition to sugar and oxygen, dozens of other substances participate: vitamins, minerals, enzymes, etc. ) Without these substances, energy cannot be obtained from sugar in the body.

If we consume sugar in its pure form, then our body takes away the missing substances from its organs (from teeth, from bones, from nerves, from the skin, liver, etc.). It is clear that these organs begin to experience a lack of these nutrients (starvation) and after a while they begin to fail.

In the production of sugar by conventional technology, disinfectants are used: formalin, bleach, amine group poisons (vasin, ambizol, as well as combinations of the above substances), hydrogen peroxide and others.

A few words about stevia. Stevia is the only sweetener that has a zero glycemic index and zero calorie - not to mention the benefits for the child. Stevia is 300 times sweeter than sugar, and if you find a brand with the right taste for you, you cannot leave your house without it.

Facts about Salt:

  1. Salt is not food!
  2. Salt cannot be digested, absorbed and used by the body. It has no nutritional value. On the contrary, it is harmful and can cause disease of the kidneys, bladder, heart, blood vessels. Salt can cause water retention in tissues. Salt does not contain any vitamins, organic substances.
  3. Salt can act as a heart poison, enhancing the painful sensitivity of the nervous system.
  4. Salt helps to remove calcium from the body and affects the mucosa of the entire gastrointestinal tract.

If salt is so unhealthy, why is it so widely used in food?

Most of all because of a habit rooted in millennia. But this habit is based on the misconception that the body supposedly needs it. Many peoples, such as the Eskimos, do not consume salt and never feel its absence. Once a man, not accustomed to salt, tried it, said that it was like smoking non-smoking.

To refute the myth that animals are looking for “salt deposits” to lick this soil, such places were investigated. It turned out that none of them contains chloride salt, there is no sodium, but many other mineral organic compounds and nutrients are abundant. Cows are given salt so that they drink more water, but in milk the result is a high salt content.

Among nationalities that never consume salt, regardless of age, there is always normal blood pressure, they do not suffer from kidney and heart diseases. The body needs natural organic sodium, but not table salt, which is an inorganic substance. You can get natural sodium, which nature procures in organic form from beets, carrots and other plant foods.

Your attention is a film in which a reporter with a medical degree, Sergei Malozyomov, explores how sugar and salt affect the body. Useful viewing!

What is the salt ...

Often, describing the taste of something, we say - salty. But how to describe the taste of the salt itself? Putting a crystalline salt on the tongue, we will feel something that could be remotely called bitterness. You can’t eat a lot of salt, but if you add it to the dish, then the food will have new facets of taste. Walking on the seashore, we can feel it in the air. Inadvertently injuring ourselves and licking a drop of blood, we also try it. Salt is the taste of life itself. There are many sayings and signs related to salt. “The salt of history” is the meaning, the essence of this very story. Sprinkle salt - unfortunately. Guests have been greeted with bread and salt since ancient times. And if bread is a part of life that the guest is offered to share with the owners, then salt is what brightens and fills this life. Feelings, emotions, passions. Much would be different if there were no salt in our lives. But nowadays, salt is often called "white death."

Is it true? Northern peoples who do not use salt for food have no cardiovascular disease. In 1960–6, salt was declared the culprit of hypertension, renal failure, coronary heart disease, and obesity. This is partly true. But do not forget that excluding salt from your diet is also very dangerous. So what is this connected with and what should we do?

The famous American specialist Paul Bragg believed that the human body absolutely does not need table salt, and called it poison. The fallacy of such views is currently considered fully proven.

Let's find out interesting facts about salt ...

1. Salt is vital for human life, as well as all other living things. She is involved in maintaining and regulating the water-salt balance in the body, sodium-potassium ion exchange. Subtle biological mechanisms maintain a constant concentration of NaCl in the blood and other body fluids. The difference in salt concentration inside the cell and outside is the main mechanism for the supply of nutrients to the cell and the output of its vital products. The same mechanism of separation of salt concentration is used in the generation and transmission of nerve impulses by neurons. In addition, Cl ion in salt is the main material for the production of hydrochloric acid - an important component of gastric juice

2. On the other hand, a fatal outcome is inevitable with a single overeating of salt. The lethal dose is 3 grams per 1 kilogram of body weight. For example, for a person weighing 80 kg, it would be fatal to eat about 240 grams at one meal. By the way, approximately this amount of salt is constantly in the body of an adult.

3. The average daily salt intake for an adult: 3-5 grams of salt in cold countries and up to 20 grams in hot countries. The difference is caused by different sweating intensities in hot and cold climates.

4. There are many different salts, some of which can also be eaten. But sodium chloride (NaCl) is most suitable for food, and it is its taste that we call salty. Other salts have an undesirable bitter or sour taste, although they may also have some value in the human diet. The baby formula contains three salts - magnesium chloride, potassium chloride and sodium chloride.

5. Salt is the source of the formation in the stomach of hydrochloric (hydrochloric) acid, which is an integral part of gastric juice.

6. With low acidity, doctors prescribe a weak aqueous solution of hydrochloric (hydrochloric) acid to the patient, and with high acidity, he experiences heartburn and is recommended to take baking soda. It neutralizes excess acid.

7. Salt has weak antiseptic properties; 10-15% salt content prevents the development of putrefactive bacteria, which causes its widespread use as a food preservative.

8. In ancient times, salt was mined by burning some plants in bonfires; the resulting ash was used as seasoning.

9. Ancient peoples valued salt by its weight in gold. For example, part of the salary of Roman warriors (lat. Salarium argentum) was given out by salt (lat. Sal); from here, in particular, came English. salary ("salary").

10. Already two thousand years BC the Chinese have learned how to get table salt by evaporating sea water.

11. When freezing sea water, the ice is unsalted, and the remaining unfrozen water becomes much more salt. By melting ice, it is possible to obtain fresh water from sea water, and table salt is boiled from brine with lower energy costs.

12. Pure sodium chloride is a non-hygroscopic substance, i.e. does not absorb moisture. Hygroscopic chlorides of magnesium and calcium. Their impurities are almost always found in table salt and it is because of their presence that the salt dampens.

13. The largest salt marsh in the world is the Uyuni salt marsh in Bolivia (photo below). Due to its large size, flat surface and high reflectivity with a thin layer of water, the Uyuni solonchak is an ideal tool for testing and calibrating remote sensing devices on orbiting satellites.

14. The global consumption of table salt exceeds 22 million tons per year. Each person on average consumes about 8 kg of salt per year. One third of the salt mined is evaporated from seawater.

15. In stores, salt consists of up to 97% NaCl, the remainder being various impurities. Iodides and carbonates are most often added; in recent years, fluorides have been added more and more often. For the prevention of dental diseases, use salt with fluoride. Since the 1950s, fluoride has been added to salt in Switzerland, and due to positive results in the fight against tooth decay in the 1980s, fluoride has been added to salt in France and Germany. Up to 60% of the salt sold in Germany and up to 80% in Switzerland is fluoride salt. Other excipients are sometimes added to table salt, for example, potassium ferrocyanide (E536 in the European food additive coding system; non-toxic complex salt) as an anti-caking agent.

16. The systematic intake of excess salt compared to the physiological norm leads to an increase in blood pressure. Excessive salt intake causes heart and kidney disease. In the spring of 1648, the Salt Riot took place in Moscow, caused by an excessively high salt tax. Millennia ago, salt was so dear that it caused war. Now salt is the cheapest of all known food additives, except for water.

17. In the United States, several types of “low sodium salt” are sold. Despite the apparent paradox, this is indeed so! Most of these products are a mixture of sodium chloride (at least 50% by weight) with potassium or magnesium chlorides. However, Salt Sense stands out among them, which provides “low sodium content” without such tricks: thanks to the patented technology, sodium chloride crystallizes not in the form of characteristic prisms, but in the form of “snowflakes”, as a result of which its bulk density is lower (0.76 g / cm³ versus 1.24 g / cm³ for “ordinary” salt). As a result, a spoonful of Salt Sense, indeed, contains sodium (and salt as such) one third less.

The most dangerous sugar

Frankly, I eat a lot of sugar. Mostly with tea probably. But for some reason I don’t like sweet soda and don’t drink it. But it turns out not in vain. Here is what they say on the "Internet":

Speaking of fructose, they usually mean not the usual natural sugar found in apples, pears and watermelons; most often we are talking about high fructose corn syrup (KSVSF).

Fructose is widely distributed in convenience foods, especially carbonated drinks, as it is sweeter and cheaper than sugar. And no matter how food companies try to hide it, calling the ingredients “corn syrup,” it is still high fructose corn syrup.

Representatives of the corn processing industry deny everything, but stunning scientific evidence suggests that without corn syrup, a person will live a healthier and longer life.

Let's find out more about this topic ...

New University of Utah study

Researchers at the University of Utah watched male and female mice fed 32 mg sucrose and CSWF in the amount consumed by most people for 32 weeks.

As a result of the study, scientists found that female mice that fed CSWF died earlier and had a very weak reproductive cycle compared to mice that consumed sucrose. On the other hand, there were no differences in the condition of male mice that consumed CSWF and sucrose (table sugar).

Both products were equally harmful and affected the ability of mice to retain territory and breed. Scientists have concluded that all types of added sugar are harmful in their own way, but KSVSF is the most dangerous.

Added sugar is the content of carbonated drinks, sweetened juices and convenience foods. All types of sugar are added, except for the natural fruit sugar found in fruits.

Expert Opinion on Sugar and KSVSF

Dr. Robert H. Lustig, a professor of pediatrics and an obesity specialist from the University of California, recorded a powerful, intriguing, and interesting lecture on sugar and fructose on video. The lecture video has already become viral.

In his lecture, Lustig notes that in the early 1900s, the average American consumed about 15 grams of fructose per year, mainly through fruits and vegetables. Today, the average American eats 55 grams of sugar per day, while teens and children consume 73 grams of sugar per day.

Most of all, Dr. Lustig is worried about the increase in fructose in food. According to him, this is an alarming fact, since since the time the KSVSF first appeared in carbonated drinks and semi-finished products in the 1970s, its content in products has been growing along with the incidence of obesity, diabetes and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease, which today affects nearly one third of Americans .

At Harvard, Lustig lectured that the rapid rise in the statistics on obesity, diabetes, and heart problems continues despite the current obsession with lean diets. Why is the incidence of the ailments listed above increasing exponentially, despite decades of lean mania? Lustig claims that sugar is to blame, and especially KSVSF contained in almost all carbonated drinks.

Even the size of soda bottles has grown exponentially since the 1950s, when a small glass bottle of Coca-Cola contained 6.5 ounces of soda. Recently in America, the volume of the largest glass of soda called Double Big Gulp reached 64 ounces, but the American chain of convenience stores 7-Eleven reduced the volume of glasses to 50 ounces, mainly due to the fact that 64 ounce glasses did not fit in the cup holders of most vehicles .

Of course, they put a lot of ice in these huge glasses, but 20 ounce bottles of soda contain a full dose of sweet poison, not diluted with ice.

According to other studies in animals and humans, it has been found that in amounts higher than the Standard American Diet, CSFVS does cause insulin resistance, which is the cause of type 2 diabetes.

Also, as a result of studies, it was found that even if a person consumes KSVSF in moderate amounts, the syrup quickly has a negative effect on the liver, causing the first signs of the development of "fatty liver".

Diet soda is not a solution. Such water contains artificial sweeteners, which include neurotoxins that destroy brain cells and are carcinogenic.

Artist and designer under a pseudonym Snow violet   embodied the idea “Sugar is a white death”   in the form of sugar grains pressed in the shape of a skull and bones.

"Salt and sugar. Death to taste" (doc. Film)
