Sugar is Not a Treat | Jody Stanislaw | TEDxSunValley
Sugar is hiding everywhere in today's widely-accepted diet, but meanwhile its devastating effects are creating more deaths than automobile accidents. In this eye-opening talk, Dr. Jody Stanislaw, a Naturopathic Doctor who has been studying the negative effects of sugar since being diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 7, dives into how the widespread negative effects of sugar are effecting us all, and what you can do about it. Dr. Jody Stanislaw received her Doctorate in Naturopathic Medicine in 2007. She is a Certified Diabetes Educator, Type 1 Diabetes Specialist, and a founding board member of the Low Carb Diabetes Association. Having lived with Type 1 Diabetes since the age of seven, she has dedicated her career to helping others with Type 1. From her 30+ years of experience, she teaches life-changing information about how to successfully manage Type 1 that most physicians have never learned, and the millions struggling with Type 1 desperately need to know.
Patients from over thirty states and ten countries have worked with her via her virtual practice. Yet there are millions around the world still struggling. To tackle this gap, she will soon be launching the first-ever, Type 1 diabetes virtual training course, with the goal of improving the lives of millions of Type 1’s around the world. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at www.ted.com/tedx

I was once at a social gathering where many sugar-filled treats were present. A lady acquaintance, seeing my obvious struggle against indulging said something that's always stuck with me.: "It helps if you don't look at it like it's real food."

This is a very good, necessary talk! Unfortunately, the 80/20 rule is a fallacy. For most of us, sugar becomes an addictive food, even in a small amount. So one cookie becomes 100 cookies. It’s actually easier to commit to 100% sugar free than to even be 98% sugar free. Once the body is completely free of the sugar addiction, the cravings go away.

Be stronger. Just as you can cut sugar out, you can stop at 1 cookie. Sugar doesnt force your brain and body to reach for the next treat. It just makes it more difficult. Discipline is all it takes. If you say "i can't stop at 1", youve convinced yourself that a force outside of your control will take over and it allows you to forfeit responsibility. Thats bull. Eat the cookie and stop. Or dont eat the cookie. But don't tell convince yourself that you have the inability to stop once you've started. The 80/20 rule works as long as you have foundational discipline. If you dont, cookies aren't what you should worry about.

My uncle was on a fixed income and was rationing his insulin only doing about half of what he was supposed to, to try and afford his other bills.

I was on a low carb diet for about a year. For the first time in my life my body was almost totally painfree and I felt energized. Then depression and disordered eating hit me and I started eating sugar like crazy. I gained 10kg and now my body is constantly aching, I get out of breath easily and I'm tired all the time. It's funny how easily we do the opposite of what we should when we get sick with an mental illness. In the past month I've finally started to feel like I'm getting back the motivation to start exercising and changing my diet.

I remember the day it switched and all of a sudden you heard this term "quality of life" to justify the shift from "sugar free options" to "they can have anything" as if eating sweeter was meant to better their lives.

The weight part isn't even the worst thing that sugar will cause, like it's killing your brain too. "Throughout the body, excess sugar is harmful.

What scares me the most is that it's completely legal, and sometimes even frowned upon if you DON'T indulge in sugar. Like alcohol, it's societies perception of these addictive substances that can play a huge role in our dependence on or addiction to them.

I’m only 23 and my boyfriend is 25, but I can’t tell you how many times I tell him how much it irks me that he chooses to “eat like a 5 year old”. I wish he could eat better. His fast metabolism is somehow an excuse to eat sugar and processed foods. His family has health problems in his bloodline, and despite how many times I tell him to stop eating that way, he won’t listen. It makes me crazy! He’s literally addicted! And because he wants to go eat out instead of make a nice curry or a healthy salad I’m gaining weight. I love him and he’s great to me, but if this goes on the way it is, I don’t know if I can take it any longer, much less another pound. Sugar is literally a killer.
My wake up call was losing a crown. I ate a cookie the next day and the pain was horrible. I knew I was committed to a sugar free lifestyle right there and then. Tooth is repaired and I’ll never take my teeth and overall health for granted again. Sometimes we are brought to the light kind of being dragged. What a blessing !!

Sugar will always be a treat. My grandmother, who lived to 86, was diagnosed in her 70s with diabetes. On her deathbed she said one of her biggest regrets was giving up sugar to possibly live a few more years. I'm taking her advice.
This reminded me of a time I cut sugar out for lent, that's 40 days, during which I experienced cravings, headaches and suffered for about 2 weeks, only to discover that after that period I felt amazing. I'm going to look into what I'm eating more cause right now it's all sugar. I know it'll be good for me, especially in the long run!

I was a sugar addict for most of my life, it's how I was raised. It took me years of trying to get away from it. But I've finally pretty much eliminated refined sugars from my diet completely and I feel so much better! Physically and mentally and my skin is clearer. I never crave it at all anymore and even when others are enjoying something rich and trying to get me to indulge a little and try a bite I'm not even a little tempted. I view it as a toxin instead of a treat and everyone thinks I'm being too strict. But that's how I have to look at it or I'll just fall prey to the addiction all over again. I do eat a lot of fruit though. When I first began trying to get away from it I used dates and dried mulberries because they have a high sugar content but are also packed with nutrients. Now I mostly eat fresh fruit and only the occasional dried fruit. That's what I think of as a treat now instead of the cookies and brownies I used to over eat. I fully believe anyone can do it if I can. I have a super addictive personality. But the more you work on self control the easier it becomes until it is just second nature.

I gave up sugar by doing the Carnivore Lifestyle. I'm 73 and I have been doing Intermittent Fasting and Carnivore for two years, I have become very peaceful and centered.
It doesn’t have to be 0 or 100, just as she mentioned in the Ted talk. The 80/20 rule is great. I have been healing from toxic mold and yeast overgrowth so have been making major dietary changes. I eat brown rice a few times a week, limited amounts of potatoes and other starchy vegetables, but eat apples, berries, peaches, non/starchy vegetables freely. I’ve made a complete turnaround in how I feel, and I plan to continue living by the 80/20 rule as I move forward. I was relatively healthy before so I didn’t have any weight to really lose, but it’s made me feel great. But I didn’t COMPLETELY cut our carbs as others are suggesting. I don’t believe that is ever a good idea for humans.
It is possible to make gradual changes. Cutting out the worst offenders in your diet, and reducing quantities of the rest. I changed my taste for sugary sweets by switching to lower sugar or no sugar cookies, cakes etc, and eating whole fruit and plain yogurt at breakfast instead of lots of juice and sweetened yogurt. It also helps to stay out of big pharmacies and "grocery" stores which carry huge amounts of processed foods, sweet drinks and snacks/candy in the front of the store.

I've had acne since before I was 12. I cut most sugars from my diet for a week and my skin almost completely cleared up!

And yet some medicos tell us acne is not caused by eating things like chocolates etc, like many believe it is. I guess each body is unique. You obviously found what works for yours but it may not work for others. You can often discover useful thi gs by studying your own body and how it reacts to Substances like different foods, some of which are great for some bodies but toxic to others. There is This mistaken general notion that, since food is not illegal, unlike, say, dope is in some places, then the dope must all be so toxic and the legal food and drugs must be so good, since it is legal. That is nonsense because, depending on your body chemistry and what is put I to legal Substances, like supermarket foods, these legal ones can prove far more toxic than something like pure naturally grown marihuana, for some body types. I am not advocating use of illicit drugs, merely making a point.

My skin problems had 2 primary causes: bad fats like fast foods, canola, corn or soy bean oil, any cooked oils or anything deep fried etc. that helped a lot. The other thing is kidney problems. The skin is considered the 3rd kidney, so if your kidneys aren’t doing well then your skin breaks out trying to eliminate toxins that your kidneys would have otherwise removed. Fast-foods and bad oils are among the worst things for your kidneys, so removing the source is the first step. After that you want to drink certain kidney cleansing teas (like Robert Morse heal-all tea or Andreas Moritz Kidney cleansing tea found in high loved flush book), which will help further unblock the Kidneys. Also grapes can be fantastic at unblocking the kidneys, or juicing celery or other organic produce, it is highly hydrating and healing for the kidneys due to its salt-balance (potassium, sodium, mag, etc). Sugar is also hard on the kidneys and limit filtration, causing the skin to help remove from the blood what the kidneys aren’t, causing acne and other skin related issues, rashes that don’t seem to go away, etc.

Fruit has an effect on blood sugar, therefore it is sugar. Sugar from fruit contains both fructose and glucose which is also in soda. So I would not eat a lot. 2 servings a day would suffice.

The least TED-like Ted Talk I’ve ever watched and the first one I’ve watched the entirety of in several years.
I met an older woman who said her father and mother would take her and her siblings to the store. The conversation in the car was you can have as much fruit as you want but if you ask for candy you can't have any fruit at all. What a great way to try to discipline your children.

I changed from breakfast cereals to 2 eggs just because it seemed a healthier option. Wow , what a difference it made. No longer "starving" by 11or 12, my knees and wrists no longer ached and I had extra energy. Now I look on cereals as poison as all the other sugar filled foods. I was constantly feeling this starving sensation before mealtimes, that's gone once I made this small change it encouraged me to do more.

The weird part is that our loving parents often committed "abuse" unknowingly by forcing us to "finish your food and you can have desert" and "You have to eat everything on your plate". The fact is, some of us have felt almost abused by our parents because now we can't throw a plate of food away so we walk away from a meal totally stuffed to the gills. If you're one of these people, try eating half a plate of food and then force yourself to throw it away - don't save it - and see how it plays on you psychologically. When you go to a restaurant, if you get full, stop eating and don't take the food home. If you think you might take food home, ask for a box up front and split the food BEFORE you start eating. It's scary. It goes completely against our thinking. But you have to force yourself to stop thinking like you used to.
