124 Ways Sugar Ruins Your Health

By Nancy Appleton, PhD

Summary: You've heard that sugar can suppress the body's immune system, but did you know it interferes with the absorption of calcium? How about that it can cause food allergies, depression, and cancer of the breast, ovaries, and prostate? Or that sugar can reduce the good cholesterol in your blood and increase the triglycerides—two of the strongest indicators we have of heart disease risk? Despite the massive commercial campaign to paint refined sugar as harmless or, at worst, merely "empty calories," hoards of scientific evidence indicate that it is far worse than that. In this startling list, Dr. Appleton documents 124 ways in which sugar has been scientifically implicated as a poison to human health, complete with 124 peer-reviewed references to back up her claims. 2004.

Abstracts on the Effects of Pasteurization on the Nutritional Value of Milk

Summary: In the 1930s, many of the first pasteurization laws were passed despite the opposition, on nutritional grounds, of many scientists. This report shows abstracts of various scientific investigations into the effects of pasteurization on milk, which include the destruction of natural antibacterial factors in raw milk; destruction of vitamins A, B and C; nullification of raw milk's effectiveness in reversing tuberculosis; and so on. While most people today assume that pasteurization makes milk safer, the truth, as these abstracts show, is that it destroys the nutritional value of milk to such an extent that the milk becomes an inherently toxic food, not the healthful one it is in its raw state. Reprint 7, 1939.
