Discover the signs you’re eating too much sugar. Number 1 will surprise you!
0:00 Introduction: The classic side effects of sugar

3:12 7 signs you’re eating too much sugar
4:59 The #1 sign you’re eating too much sugar
In this video, we’re going to talk about some of the side effects of consuming too much sugar. Some of the well-known side effects of sugar include fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, carb cravings, and cavities.
Is there a difference between sugar and carbohydrates? A carbohydrate consists of sugar, fiber, and starch. Starches are called polysaccharides, meaning many sugars or multiple sugar molecules connected together. Starches raise blood sugar levels significantly more than sugar.
Starches like maltodextrin, modified food starch, and modified corn starch have a much higher glycemic index than sugar.
Here are 7 surprising signs that you’re consuming too much sugar:
* 7- Reduced collagen
Reduced collagen will result in loose, wrinkled skin and premature aging.
* 6- Chronic white tongue
Candida from too much sugar will cause you to have a white tongue. You won’t be able to get rid of it without eliminating sugar from the diet.
* 5- Chronic sinus problems
Most chronic sinus problems are caused by a fungus called Aspergillus that feeds on sugar.
* 4- Red or pink gums
Red or pink on your toothbrush after brushing could signify a mild case of scurvy or vitamin C deficiency. High sugar consumption blocks vitamin C.
* 3- Low testosterone
Low testosterone can cause erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and difficulty building muscle.
* 2- Susceptibility to infection
Too much sugar can weaken your immune system, making you more vulnerable to infection.
* 1- High adrenaline levels
Too much sugar damages the cell’s ability to make energy in the mitochondria. To compensate, the body produces more adrenaline.
Which side says "no" to those deals? They look pretty good to me.
Mikal was so good as a 3-and-D guy in Phoenix. That's probably the better deal.
Thinking about who might be available, I'd look at either Paul George or Mikal Bridges.
They both offer the same kind of floor-stretching on offense (minus the offensive fouls) and they're good defenders as well.
Can Bitcoin Be Copied?
https://odysee.com/@TraderUniversity:a/can-bitcoin-be-copied:f?r=8T2xqWjtafHWYGxQBSsrbw1wQPm7sWRq
This was one of my big concerns about Bitcoin. Is it really scarce, if an unlimited number of Bitcoin-like networks can be created?
# Video Description
> In this video, I discuss how it is very easy to copy paste Bitcoin's code, TikTok's code, basketball game rules, and the English language-- as well as how difficult it is to copy paste network effects, which are what really matters.
> You can copy Bitcoin's code, but it's impossible to bring along Bitcoin miners, nodes, hodlers, exchanges, wallets, Bitcoin's global brand, companies building on Bitcoin, etc.
> Your new version of Bitcoin is not going to be able to catch up with El Salvador, Bitcoin Jungle, Bitcoin Beach, etc. Bitcoin already has a 15 year head start, and huge market cap north of $1 trillion.
> Bitcoin remains the apex predator not just of currencies, but also of all assets, which continue to trend to zero against BTC.
As long as the relationships are consensual, I'm all for people experimenting with progressive ideas. I hope it works out.
Yeah, but I think he's too dumb to be on a title team. He should have good trade value and Minnesota would still have two good bigs in Gobert and Reed.

The One Ingredient That Has Spiked by 8000 Percent over the Last 50 Years
This video is partly about health, but also about the role of subsidies in making our diets more unhealthy.
# Video Description
> In this video, we’re going to talk about the one food that has increased in our diets by over 8,000%. From 1970 to 2014, this food has increased significantly more than any other food.
> Consuming this ingredient depletes vitamins and minerals. It’s one of the most potent triggers of metabolic syndrome, fatty liver disease, and inflammation.
> We're talking about high-fructose corn syrup.
> Corn products, skim milk, chicken, turkey, added fats, and oils have also increased, but nowhere near as much as high-fructose corn syrup. Consumption of vegetables, butter, eggs, beef, and refined white sugar has decreased.
> High-fructose corn syrup is hidden in many foods and drinks. Most high-fructose corn syrup is made from inedible dent corn, which is typically GMO, so it’s herbicide-tolerant.
> The U.S. is the top producer and consumer of corn.
> In 1932, farmers extracted 20 ½ bushels of corn per acre, and in 2022, they extracted 173 bushels per acre. The arrival of GMO foods, herbicides, and pesticides allows farmers to grow significantly more corn in a small area, which isn’t good for the environment, soil, or our health.
> Always check your food labels to avoid high-fructose corn syrup, modified food starch, modified corn starch, maltodextrin, glucose syrup, and seed oils.
