How You Can Flip the Switch on Sugar Addiction

It’s tragic but true.
About 9 out of 10 of our children and teens drink soda every single day. This liquid sugar is the most prevalent source of ”hidden” sugar in their entire diet. Not only are sugar-sweetened drinks associated with obesity, heart disease, pre-diabetes and diabetes, but liquid calorie consumption of soft drinks is highly addictive, thanks to the added bonus of caffeine.
Diet soft drinks are no better—thank you very much—and probably a lot worse.
Since 1960, the consumption of “diet” soft drinks has increased a whopping 400 percent.
In fact, since those artificial sweeteners have come into such popular use, a number of studies have shown that these fake substitutes may actually lead to increased food or calorie intake. This is likely because they cause your body to produce insulin by making it “think” that sugar is on the way.
Artificial sweeteners—we’re talking sucralose, aspartame (Equal or NutraSweet), sugar alcohols like malitol—have been found to interfere with neurological and hormonal signals that dictate that feeling of fullness and control hunger. A well known animal study showed that when rats were fed food with artificial sweeteners they not only gained a lot more weight than rats fed ”regular” sugar-spiked food, but their metabolism came to a dead halt.
For many, diluting unsweetened fruit juice with 50% water can substitute for pop. But since too much fruit juice—diluted or not—can spell weight gain for those of us who are insulin resistant, I have a better solution. Why not neutralize the need for something sweet in the first place? You can do this with a formula called Y-C Cleanse that zaps the cravings for something sweet—either “real” sugar or artificial sweeteners.
Although it may seem counterintuitive, Y-C is a homeopathic remedy that contains minute dosages of the most prevalent form of yeast, fungus, and pathogenic by-products of digestion that can trigger a sugar feeding frenzy.  The formula consists of Candida albicans-20, Geotrichum candidum-20, Carbo veg, Skatolum, Indolum and Echinacea.
Sugar is definitely the underlying culprit of the fungus among us, BUT since sugar alcohols derived from sugar can remain in the gut longer than other types of sugars, I have a strong suspicion that they not only feed nasty bacteria, but also feed yeast, resulting in big time sugar cravings. This explains why people become so bloated with sugar alcohols after drinking lots of diet sodas or chewing sugar-free gum.
The Rx is surprisingly simple:
Just take 1 teaspoon of this homeopathic remedy first thing in the morning with a couple of ounces of water. Children and teens can take ½ teaspoon in water.
You will be amazed at how you will not need to resort to “will power” to cut down on soda and other sugary food consumption. Once your biochemistry is balanced, cravings start to diminish—rapidly.
