Who here likes to crave
0:04
sweets? What's crazy is that research
0:06
shows that sugary drinks can
0:08
contribute to hundreds of thousands of deaths every
0:10
year. Yes, too much sugar can cause
0:13
tooth decay, inflammation of the body's organs, and
0:17
scary diseases like those discussed by Sasa and
0:19
Kobi in this video. Okay, but
0:23
stopped consuming added sugar? Will it be
0:25
as difficult as being addicted to cigarettes or
0:33
In the beginning we might still be able to endure. It was
0:36
only on the second day that we started to have
0:38
cravings. The cravings will peak
0:40
around the fifth day. Makes you
0:42
dizzy, anxious, and have a headache. It's like
0:44
something is missing from my life. It's like
0:47
leaving him alone. The thing is,
0:50
since birth, our brains have been
0:52
programmed to like this sweet thing.
0:54
But the more often you give it to your brain, the more it
0:56
gets used to it and needs more sugar
0:58
to stay happy. Well, this is a mechanism
1:01
that is similar to the case of
1:04
drug addiction. That's why some scientists think
1:06
that sugar can be considered an addiction.
1:08
But this is still a hot topic of debate for
1:13
If you can resist temptation, just 10 days of
1:15
fasting can make your body better.
1:17
Blood sugar and fats drop, hormones are more
1:19
stable, and we may be
1:21
less tempted by brain root. The problem is, there is
1:24
research that says that consuming too much of the
1:26
ants' favorite food can
1:28
disrupt your ability to focus. Then
1:31
the tongue will become more sensitive. Food
1:33
that initially tasted bland started to taste
1:35
sweet. For those of you with acne, these
1:38
annoying spots that always
1:39
appear before important events might
1:42
go away. Because sugar makes the skin more
1:44
prone to inflammation.
1:47
If we continue until the
1:49
sixth week, we will no longer feel
1:51
cravings. The tongue is
1:54
getting used to it. And those that
1:56
initially made you drool
1:58
might now make you nauseous because they are
2:00
too sweet. Then your skin will become
2:02
smoother, you'll sleep better, you'll
2:05
lose weight, your digestion will be healthier, your stomach
2:07
won't bloat, and your monthly payments will be smoother
2:12
forever, the risk of getting
2:14
terrible diseases can decrease. It may even
2:16
delay aging. The thing is, there is
2:18
research that shows that
2:20
low sugar consumption is related to
2:22
slowing down cell aging. So crazy.
2:29
Scientists have actually been aware of the dangers of too much sugar for a long time. But
2:31
it turns out that many companies conduct
2:35
confuse and dissuade the public. To make it
2:38
even more imaginative, let's try flying to
2:40
Hawaii. There almost half of the
2:43
local population is obese. One of
2:46
the reasons is that since America took over,
2:48
the eating patterns of the people there, which previously focused
2:50
on local food, have changed. Now
2:53
almost all of their food comes from
2:55
imports. Many of them contain
2:57
high amounts of sugar and salt, making
3:03
Speaking of added sugar,
3:05
artificial sweeteners are currently trending,
3:08
with just a few drops of which you can
3:09
make something sweet. But apparently there are
3:12
doctors who say that this can also be
3:14
dangerous. Earlier we saw that
3:16
the sweetness of sugar can make the brain addicted.
3:19
Well, because artificial sweeteners are even sweeter
3:21
, the brain becomes more bombarded, we end up
3:24
craving sugar even more. Several
3:26
studies also show that
3:28
artificial sweeteners are linked to several
3:29
diseases. Even though there is still no
3:31
definite cause and effect, what is clear is that we have to be
3:38
Actually, the key to health is not always
3:40
having to stop eating something,
3:42
but rather not overeating.
3:46
Now the government also wants to start
3:48
implementing sugar scores for packaged drinks to make
3:50
people more aware. In
3:53
your opinion, how effective is this policy?
3:55
And as always, thank you.
