Sugar can change your mind | Marta Sochocka | TEDxWroclaw

Why is sugar so bad? Why should we eat less sugar?
The intro to this Talk has been performed by the artists of Capitol Musical Theatre (www.teatr-capitol.pl/) Sugar is currently the most widespread and commonly consumed substance, found in almost every edible product in the world. What are the consequences of continuous sugar consumption? How addictive is sugar? How does it affect our minds and behavior? Marta Sochocka, an immunologist and author of several popular science publications about health, will share with you the untold story about sugar. 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 just have to commend this woman for giving this talk in what is clearly not her first language. She could have had a translator instead, but she spoke in English for the sake of her audience. I appreciate the effort that took, especially on a scientific topic with difficult words.

[@johnwilson8482]

Well done, indeed. I've studied several foreign languages, and she did much better than I would have done in any of those languages.

[@pennilesswriter1556]

John Wilson Me too. I've studied both French and Spanish, and there is no way I could give this talk in either language nearly as well as Marta did. She did such a good job, considering.

[@Gasp7000]

Rebecca Arnold: In truth, her accent actually made me pay more attention to her intended message than I would have otherwise listened to in commonly familiar language. Sometimes easy familiarity can cause laziness and lack of appreciation.

[@angiebutler227]

Rebecca Arnold, I agree with you and I was thinking the same thing as I was listening to her. She is doing a great job, delivering scientific information in English. I speak Spanish and I am no where near this level and may never be. Not only do I need to eliminate all of the sugar and carbs from my diet, in order to improve my health, I am also encouraged to keep studying my Spanish. :)

Sugar addiction is such a killer on so many levels. Not only does it mess with your body, joints inflamed, bloating, vitamin deficiencies, it cause major brain 🧠 issues. Until I fasted for three days straight, and yes it was tough but I survived, I didn’t realise how much my brain and mind were impaired. A little bit of hunger is good.

[@Mike-ov6fm]

Very concise and informative speech. Hard enough to give this type of speech in your native tongue and keep it consistent. Even during parts where translation/pronunciation was an issue it was always clear what she was saying. I consume way too much sugar since quarantine and within just these few months have been dealing with weight gain and health issues (shortness of breath, high blood pressure, etc). I don't eat a lot at all it's just quality of what I'm eating has gone way down so I know what she is saying is 100% true just from personal experience not to mention the countless studies that have been done at this point

[@JarmaraFalconer]

Thank you for sharing this. You have explained a very serious problem we have in the modern world. We need to change our eating habits and cut sugar

@@shumeister1059 Did you have it in moderation afterwards? I currently haven’t touched sugar at all but wondering if I should treat myself occasionally after a certain period of time

[@shumeister1059]

@@itznemi I do treat myself. My sugar/sweetner uses are: eating a piece of dark chocolate almost everyday, honey in coffee, and sometimes it's required ingredients in cooking (I cook most meals at home, to control what goes into my body.) What I avoid are candy and processed sweet snacks, because they seemed to be loaded with too much sugar. Maybe double compared to other countries. *For anyone fighting cancer: Sugar and worse artificial sweeteners should be completely cut out, since they promote cancer growth.

You need willpower for the first 5 days. Try your best to avoid situations and places where you may be tempted. 5 days in, I am at a new job. It just so happens that the management order DOZENS of high-quality donuts, tons of variations looked o so good. I SAID DOWN WITH SUGAR ALL OUT WAR, of course not say this out loud I watched all the weak people say, oh I thought they would be all gone didn't want to be tempted as they grabbed a couple. I sat there grinning. CAN'T BREAK ME - STAY HARD.

[@shumeister1059]

You can taper down, if you find it hard. Because it takes time for people's taste buds to adjust to eating less sweet foods. Now I always refuse donuts, because I see no positive nutritional value in them. I usually gravitate towards savory and spicy foods. Also doing hard exercise will up your will power, and you'll feel strong. You can lift weight for even just a minute first thing in the morning. It still makes a difference if you keep it up everyday for a year.

Very nice and very determent scientist! It feels that she can solve any problem if given time. Reminds me Tali from Mass Effect tho.. ;) Other problem with sugar is that sugar can feed certain type of bacteria in organism. If this type of bacteria start to become overwhelming and start to spread and take a control to demand more, then it is an another way of addictance. Best way to fight it in my thinking is to consume more vegetable food. It will push the bacterial balance to other type of bacteria.

[@Gasp7000]

In truth, glucose addiction is caused by lack of the other essential sugars in our diets that make stem cells, and only carbs can make our stem cells. Proteins and fats cannot make stem cells. Glucose can make stem cells by itself even when the other essential sugars are missing in the diet, but that is the hardest road to take. There are at least eight essential carbs, and glucose is only one of them. If you are missing any of the others, you with crave more glucose for your immune system’s sake, because it alone ends up carrying the burden of making those stem cells without the help of the other 7 essential carbs. Now, 6 of those eight carbs are non-caloric, and therefore, cannot disturb your blood sugar negatively. Those 6 actually help calm the cravings for excess glucose and galactose-the two that are caloric. Interestingly, these 8 carbs are not all sweet-tasting, for instance, some are found in garlic, certain mushrooms, celery, cucumbers, potatoes, inulin fiber (a little sweet, but worry-free calorie-wise)...see what I mean? If you eat these things, you will crave less glucose, and take the burden off of glucose to produce all of the missing ones in order for a person to have stem cells. Stem cells repair, restore and revive us. We would die with them. We have no immunity without them. See why we crave glucose?-because it can make them. But if we eat all eight, we will not crave excess glucose. If we try to eat no glucose, we will absolutely go back to it because we need stem cells. But eating all eight glycos found in foods, we will not feel like bingeing on glucose and galactose alone. Just search “foods containing the eight essential glyconutrients, lists”, and make your lists, then eat from all eight food lists every week, because it will change your life. MIT calls these glycos “the missing food group”. I just want people to understand that their craving to build stem cells is legitimate, but education on balance and moderation is life saving. Craving excess glucose is caused by neglect of eating the other 6-7 glucos, it is not caused by lack of control, but by a need for stem cells. For those interested, here are the eight needed glycos, which facilitate cell to cell messaging braille-style by bumping into each other. If one or more glyco is missing, much like a Braille letter in and alphabet, the wrong message is sent back to the hypothalamus, etc., causing autoimmune diseases, inflammation, etc. Here are the valuable sugars (saccharides, glyconutrients, carbs): 1.glucose 2. galactose 3. N-acetyglucosamine 4. N-acetyglactosamine 5. mannose 6. Fucose 7. Xylose 8. N-acetylneuraminic acid (also called sialic acid). So, start your glucose reduction by adding these other carbs first, and don’t think you can survive without them, you can’t, glucose included. But you can’t survive with imbalance, either. If you run into sites saying that these are not proven, that is a straight up lie, they are researched and estensively tested and are in the back of the PDR, where even med students aren’t even enlightened on them, and why?-Because 70% of med school curriculum is written by drug company employees who aren’t even doctors. They have no motivation to tell patients how to heal themselves, and they don’t want patients to know that stem cells from glyconutrients heal some 200+ areas of the human body. They don’t want you growing your own stem cells-they want to sell you someone else’s tissue, like bone marrow and rooster comb injections, both an example of glyconutrient-grown stem cell tissue. Make your own tissue. Studies have shown that stem cell count in a patient’s bloodwork has gone from zero count to trillions+ count in a mere week of taking nutritional glycos (Mannatech*). Trillions, in one week. That’s how fast nutrition turns things around. The drug companies just hate when I tell everyone this great news. These glycos cured 100% of the cancers treated with them around 1900. Now who do you suppose hid this vital information? I am tempted to think that the same people that took advantage of Tesla during the same era, hiding his information about wifi, and free energy. Don’t get derailed. Pray your way to the truth, and don’t expect to find it on your own. I found this info through heaven’s grapevine, and I have healing stories to tell, as do many others. Sugar is not a villian, neglect and imbalance is the villian. It’s like calling cholesterol a villian, when really, it’s trying to save us from the real villian, and acidic , ph-imbalanced body. This person did a great job of talking about imbalance and it’s devastating affect. But even water is toxic if we drink too much, causing death in literally one day. Imbalance is the real villian.

Richard is right. Ketones is what your body really needs for energy. Any glucose your brain needs is made by the liver. Carbohydrate is an addictive energy source which no sane person would use if he/she took the time to educate him/herself. Please, don't take my word for it - go research "ketogenic diet".
