Sugar...it's not so sweet | Calgary Avansino | TEDxMoorgate

20% of all 10 year olds in the UK are obese, and another 15% are classed as overweight.
Scientists believe that ten years from now, between 20% to 50% of the entire world's population will be classified as obese.
In this passionate talk, Calgary informs and inspires us to make better choices, in a way that will resonate with you for a long time to come.
This talk will resonate with you for long after you watch it as Calgary inspires you to make better choices.
Calgary Avansino moved to London from the West Coast of America in 2000 and soon after, landed the role as the Editor's assistant at British Vogue. Two-and-a-half years later she took the leap and claimed a seat in Vogue's beauty department as Wellbeing Editor, before moving up the ranks over the next 8 years to eventually become the Executive Fashion Director and Digital Project Director - a position she held for five years.
In early 2013, Calgary left her full-time position at Vogue to become a Contributing Editor, and balance her career at the publication with an entrepreneurial venture into the world of wellness.
From this, her wellness website www.calgaryavansino.com was born, encompassing her tips, recipes and advice for reaching success by living a healthier lifestyle.
This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at ted.com/tedx

    Our body can not handle 7 teaspoons of sugar per a day? That's ridiculous. People range from extremely active kids to sedentary old men. The reason sugar isn't great is the fructose piece, which must be metabolized in the liver. 7 teaspoons of sugar is about 3 teaspoons of straight fructose. That's nothing for someone who is active because the fructose will be used for liver glycogen synthesis as opposed to triglyceride synthesis.

    I would say for those below that asked, yes, sugar in fruit is okay. The reason being that fruit doesn't just contain sugar, but also contains fiber which breaks down in the body and gives energy. Processed sugar ie: dextrose, xanthan gum, etc can only break down in the liver which spikes your insulin levels and creates duh duh duh FAT. I went thirty days without sugar, except in the form of fruit, doing Whole30 and it changed my way of looking at food forever. Sugar is really the culprit for so much disease, not just obesity. The whole system needs to change in order to get sugar filled junk off the shelves (I am talking to you, Luna bars). There are so many industries that are reliant on people staying unhealthy and quite frankly, unaware... big pharma, hospitals, brand name processed food, even companies like Weight Watchers want us to stay unhealthy. So what can we do? Stay on the outside of the grocery, buy food that is colorful and rich in nutrients, watch out for sugar, and if you don't know what is on the label, don't buy it. End of rant. Good luck to everyone on their journey towards health and happiness! You deserve it!

    Fibre slows the digestion process so the sugar is released into your bloodstream more slowly. It also helps everything move through your body and stops your digestive system from being blocked up. Fibre does not break down in your body at all, it just comes right back out again (but that doesn't mean it's not important!)

    Sugar in fruit is fructose and it reacts in the body just the same as all sugar. It isn't good for you! If you must eat fruit, only a few raspberries or blackberries and from time to time strawberries or blueberries! The ONLY difference between most fruit and a jelly doughnut, is that there are more nutrients in the fruit (and fiber), but sugar is sugar! Period!

  • @FabianEason

    Fibre does not break down to give energy - it doesn't break down at all and remains fibre all the way through. Which helps it get through. In terms of insulin etc fibre helps slow the absorption of all macronutrients. Dextrose = glucose and is generally perfectly fine. It is NOT processed in the liver. It is the only form of sugar that can be metabolised in every cell in the body. It causes no stress on the liver, and is the energy of choice for endurance athletes. Dextrose is not by definition a processed sugar. Complex starches are broken down by enzymes into dextrose/glucose (and fructose if this is present in the chain). Fructose - which is present in fruit - is the main cause of chaos in the body - it is fructose that can only be processed in the liver (unless you are an insect), and it is fructose which causes a complete shut down of the body's normal processes whilst the fructose is being dealt with.

Also, old fruit-sorts differ(ed) from new, hybridized ones, which are modified to grow MUCH more sugar, didn't you notice the shift? I feel nausea at the new fruit, don't want them (at least not when I am good and off my sugar addiction). This is because of liver function problems, which also the majority people suffer from silently, more or less so. I like the old, sourly fruits. They are good, but we're still too stressed today to tolerate them well. It's not some matter of dropping dead from it now, but of keeping/getting healthy, strong, live long and happily...

When I wanted to stop playing games[used to play 4+hr daily] I did for about 1 year, simply changed computer to worse one and didn't install any games(now play 0-2 hours per day, will probably quit again though). *With sugar, just don't have sugar and sugary sweets at home. *learn even more about bad things about sugar to become more convinced how bad it is for your. *have food prepared because if you are both hungry and craving sugar - sugar will be easier to get. after that there are two options have a 30 day challenge or go slowly with some healthy snacks to help. Challenge is harder but faster and gives some self respect.

    Yeah, it's poison. I committed to reducing my sugar intake and learning all the terminology for it and different names of additives. Unbelievable. Oh it's still tempting and giving in leads to an aftermath of feeling like being in a bad car accident. Bread was the hardest, juice was hard too. Dropped about 70 lbs so far. I'd thought I was already eating 'healthy'.

    I am pushing 80 years old and consider myself reasonably logical. However, I have come to the conclusion that I am addicted or at least semi-addicted to sweets. Certain kinds of cookies and fine chocolates kick off my addiction. It is weird when you knowingly partake of something that you know is harmful. Kicking a sugar addiction is no simple problem but I believe it can be done. You certainly have to learn to say, "NO!" to your own cravings and the treats that well-meaning (usually) people put in your path. Any suggestions on how to approach kicking the habit?? Too bad there is no program like Alcoholics' Anonymous to boot the sugar habit into the gutter.

    Moral of the story is this. Become an educated, discerning food shopper. Read those labels. Sugar can go by other words like corn syrup. Even sugar can be extracted from plants like beets. Don't visit the mall food courts too often. Most of the processed foods is too high in fats, sugars and salts.

I have now stopped it and don’t eat any. It’s addictive. I know from experience.

    Meadow For some people, they're healthy; for other people, they're not healthy. If you're eating lots of natural carbs (NATURAL only) and you have healthy weight, good blood tests, mental clarity, and energy, then carbs are good for YOU. But for some people (like me) too many carbs can cause obesity, high blood sugar, elevated triglycerides, lethargy, brain fog, and menstrual problems. Different people react differently; so the only way to know is to experiment with your own diet and see what makes you feel your best. But of course, processed, unnatural foods aren't healthy for anyone.

Archaeologists see, that on old ships with starvation, the captain & C:o died more often than the crew, since thw white rice was wrongly considered the finer... just like today. I don't get why the poor Indians and Chinese eat the white instead of brown, it's indoctrination and group mentaliy - sleeping sheepleflocks wanting to be like others.
