Stress in Our Diets Currently, the Average American eats 133 POUNDS OF SUGAR each year; 75 years ago, the Average American ate only 7 pounds of sugar a year! Sugar is toxic to the body, accelerates aging, and depletes the body of B vitamins and minerals. An incredible 80% OF CARBOHYDRATES consumed by Americans are in the form of refined flours and sugars. Only 9% of the population eats the recommended five servings of vitamin-rich fruits and vegetables. Americans eat 230 MORE CALORIES PER DAY than they did just 15 years ago. Our diet consists of refined foods. Increasing our consumption of nutrient-depleted foods means we have an even higher requirement for the vitamins and minerals needed to metabolize them. Almost all foods have pesticides, chemical dioxins, and fluorides that come into our bodies each day. Most fast-food hamburgers have been shown to contain traces of OVER 100 PESTICIDES. Most meats have antibiotic, hormone, and chemical residues that have toxic effects on our bodies.
