“Sugar: It is common and accurate to say that refined sugar and sweeteners like high-fructose corn syrup lead to weight gain and are detrimental to our health. In response, the health food market has developed many different ways to imitate the effects of refined sugars through substances like evaporated cane juice and brown rice syrup. Our bodies don’t need sources of sugar that have gone through any of these types of processing, and the difficulty digesting such substances leads to weight gain and health problems.”
