Here are answers to some questions we had in the sugar blues workshop-
Is osteoporosis linked to sugar consumption?
YES! The short answer- 1) Eating sugar causes you to excrete much of your calcium intake out through your urine. 2) Sugar blocks your osteoblasts (bone builders) from being able to build bone. Here is an article that has more information-http://www.lef.org/protocols/metabolic_health/osteoporosis_02.htm

What do you think about xylitol?
See the article below. I personally have no experience with it, but it does not look like it would be a good choice for me as it can cause digestive distress.

Remember to look into your primary foods such as family, work, personal time, stress levels, exercise etc to make sure you are getting what you want rather than turning to sugar, an addictive substance, to supplement the lack of sweetness in your life. I hope this helps answer those questions more clearly!

Looking forward to seeing you in the studio soon!
