Primal Primer 5 (Nutrition)
Sugar in many processed forms are modernly engineered slow burn plagues; disguised as fun bubbly beverages, colorful packaged foods adorned with animals, and accompanied by brain washing slogans such as “part of a complete breakfast”.
Before the advent of organized agriculture, foraged fruits were the primary source of sugars only available as quantities lasted, and dependent on foraging prowess during season. Modeling suggests average calories gained from consumed natural non GMO fruit was equal to caloric output in foraging. Today’s drive to the market for gathering genetically modified engorged fruits and sugar laden packaged foods requires near sedentary caloric expenditures to source. Modern humans now exist in a constant state of calorie surplus (energy).
Nefarious Nature Of Added Sugar
Treat sugar as it appears in natural form: seasonal, limited in quantity, and growing in the wild. Proven are the conspiracies of corporate sugar cabals financially influencing esteemed educational institution study results misrepresenting benign nature of sugar while projecting dangers of saturated fats (a campaign of misinformation still dredging casualties today). Be wary of unnaturally high saturation of sugars found in processed foods. Nefarious sugar consumption from the many vectors of grocery convenience derail fueling strategies affecting energy, insulin, recovery, body composition, and inflammation.
~Cave Implementation~
Sugar is not inherently bad, but be economical with natural and added sugars. Become accustomed to viewing ingredient labels prior to fueling. Be especially wary of “added sugar”, as naturally tasty and nutritious food doesn’t require this addition. Sugar is ubiquitously added to pre-packaged processed foods in efforts of causing addiction, cravings, and extending shelf life; efforts to maximize manufacturer sales and repeat sales. Sourcing food at the base level of ingredients helps limit unintended and accumulative exposure to the scourge of added sugar.
