Sugar Free, Low Fat, and Whole Grain

For me the key to healthy living when it comes to food (of course exercies, love, warmth, spiritual health are also really important) is avoiding refined: sugar, flour, rice and white pastas...and trying to trim fat (especially animal fats) where you can...I believe that refined products are usually the source of our overweight problem. Sugar, especially, is as addictive as drugs and alcohol. And because it is an vitaminless, empty calorie, carbohydrate; it needs B Vitamins to be digested properly. Therefore it sucks your body dry of its vitamin B resources. All other natural carbs (whole grain breads and rice) have vitamin B, therefore they provide there own source of vitamins needed to digest them so they don't suck the body dry of its needed vitamins... Not to mention that sugar sends your body into a blood sugar/insulin whip lash that can cause everything from depression, lack of concentration, tiredness to eventually diabetes... Low blood sugar is an early sign of diabetes and if you go off sugar and refine sugar you won't have it ever...
Anyways...theres my soapbox...perhaps you think I'm a freak...but I really believe and have studied this stuff :-)
