health nerds – Der Podcast über artgerechtes Leben
“Give us some sweetness or we'll get some naughty treats!” – It's not just Halloween: sugar is unhealthy.
Scientists identify industrial sugar in particular as a trigger and driver for many modern diseases of civilization such as diabetes, Alzheimer's, cancer, obesity, cardiovascular diseases and depression.
Curious: Although we know how harmful the “white poison” is for our health, most people consume four to five times the maximum daily amount of 25 grams recommended by the WHO. But why do we love sugar so much? Why are we so dependent on it?
“Sugar activates our reward system in the brain – and massively so” – In this episode of HEALTH NERDS, podcast host Felix Moese and health scientist Matthias Baum discuss 7 frightening facts üabout sugar that you probably don't know yet:
1) Sugar affects our brain like a drug and triggers the same areas as cocaine.
2) Sugar blocks and damages our immune system.
3) Sugar alters our sense of taste.
4) Two soft drinks a day increase the risk of type 2 diabetes by 26%.
5) Sugar blocks the burning of fat.
6) There are over 50 different names for sugar.
7) Sugar can trigger a sugar crash in our body that can lead to depression.
