Other than gold, no single substance has had a bigger hand in shaping the history of the western hemisphere than sugar. These videos explore the dark history and modern power of the world's reigning sugar cartels. Using dramatic reenactments, they reveal how sugar was at the heart of slavery in the West Indies in the 18th century, and continues to be at the heart of a present-day epidemic: consumers who are slaves to a sugar-based diet.(Watch this video: 44:29)
Thanks for the comment that sugars better than artificial sweeteners. NO KIDDING eh? Since when does man think that he can outsmart mother nature. I do agree that too much processed sugar is not good for us, but along the same lines, oils (pure fat with little nutritional value) is on the same level, if not worse than sugar. Yes,I know, it sounds like heresy, but Olive Oil is not the health food that people think it is. Check it out - you will have to search for the truth, but it is out there. Along with processed sugar, one should minimize the amount of any kind of oil one consumes. Eat the plant based whole food!
JP4MENU--
I have to disagree with you on throwing out all fats. As for Olive Oil, I personally do not promote it because I react to it when I eat it, and so does my husband, so I skip the olive oil. However, oils and fats are very important to the body and are required for many functions in the body including absorption of fat soluble nutrients. There are healthy oils and there are unhealthy oils, but don’t throw out the baby with the bath water!
No one should be consuming hydrogenated oils at all, they are worse than sugar, and very damaging to your health. But check Dr. Mercola’s website for information on healthy oils. I use Cod Liver Oil daily, along with Coconut Oil for all of my cooking. On salads I use Almond, Avocado, and a few other nut and seed oils. I also eat Raw Organic Butter and cream. These are packed with healthy fats and nutrients and also promotes fat burning in the body.
Back on the sugar theme—I have recently eliminated sugar from our family diet (it only appeared in low quantities when it was there). My husband and I are both very pleased with the result of this dietary change. Though it means reading labels on everything, and I do mean EVERYTHING, it is well worth the trouble for the healthy results. (We were traveling in England recently and I stopped in a Supermarket to pick up some meat and salad for lunch. The package of precooked chicken contained DEXTROSE! Chicken with sugar, UGH! I skipped that and got a can of salmon instead, even though I am not fond of canned food.)
Thanks for putting up these valuable videos. Great that it was CBC that exposed this. I'm sending the link to lots of people.
These are very powerful videos and after viewing them it left my deeply outraged!
It's without a doubt that everyone who watched this video and others alike, should feel an individual obligation to share this knowledge with others to help create a massive awareness on the wickedness of these few individuals in power in order to break them down.
I ask everyone who has viewed this information to share it with all. Especially to those who are in power such as politicians, police officers, those in the military, the FDA, the banks, and etc..,) and attach with it a simple message that you share this for the LOVE that you have for your fellow man.
Take the time and think what would happen if everyone was to join us in sharing this message all over the world. What would these people in power say? What could they do to combat it and maintain their ways? This can not fight. They will become powerless and will flee.
Send it by email, snail mail, fax, or, yes, word of mouth. Let the rEVOLution begin!
Thanks, for exposing the truth about sugar. Now that I know what it does, not only to me but also what is happening in the sugar industry, I'm going sugar-free! What a terrible and costly drug.
