    you are a major smart *kitten*. In this case "toxins" is referring to all the **** you take in your body with everyday processed foods. When you look at the ingredients on a package you certainly know what I am referring to. If you have never seen it and don't know what I am talking about then maybe you should debunk it so quickly.

    What ****? Seriously. I mean it sounds like it makes all kinds of sense that these things with big scary names must be "clogging up your cells," but that really just doesn't mean anything. There are no "toxins" in your food "clogging up your cells."

    Then say "I'm removing the "stagnant" food coloring and things-I-can't-pronounce-so-I'm-just-gonna-call-them-toxins-to-scare-people from my body".

    The vitamins I've been taking have pyridoxine hydrochloride in them! These toxins are clogging up my cells!

    Wait.... that's vitamin B6? Oh, so it's got "vitamin" in the name now. Awesome, it's healthy now!

    I don't mean to make fun, but this is the sort of thing this is about. Yes chemical names can be very intimidating if you don't know what the compounds are. But that doesn't mean they're toxins. Your body is full of chemicals with names that would look terrifying on the ingredients list of a Pop Tart.

    It's easy and convenient to just assume "processed" food is full of all these "toxins" with names you've never heard of. That's intellectually bankrupt though.

    It's funny how long names in vitamins are 'ok', but as soon as they hit a label, they are a toxin, huh?

    It's probably best not to advise people about "toxins" and "antioxidants" if you have no understanding of what they are.

    I know what antioxidants are. Can you give me some examples of the "toxins" in our foods that clog our cells and antioxidants fight off?

    I am by far, no expert. But I have been told that processed sugar is awful for you. I have heard that the best sugar to consume is raw sugar. But still in high moderation. Sugar quickly turns to fat, causes your blood sugar levels to spike, gives you that 'crash' feeling, etc.

    Lovely. :drinker:

    I was referring to her, not you, but please go on. :) I'll listen.

    And you know, virtually all vitamins have harmful effects in high doses. Just like sugar. And sodium. And fat.

    Anything, in too high a dose, will be bad for you, especially if the high dose is chronic. Iron, colloidal silver, fish oil, vitamin A, raspberry ketones, whatever. That doesn't mean these things are toxins. Yes, chronically high levels of sugar are bad for you. But sugar is not a toxin. If your blood stream were ever glucose-free, you would literally drop dead. If you ate no sodium for a while, you would develop *serious* issues.

    Sugar, in moderation, is a healthy and normal thing.

    hi. i read here a bunch that really processed foods and foods with preservatives are bad for you. but ive also heard a bunch of people say that sugar is toxic!?! does anyone know what sort of toxins come from sugar?

    carbon dioxide and hydrogen monoxide are by-products of the breakdown of sugar. Your cells metabolise sugar into these two chemicals, each of which can kill you. If carbon dioxide builds up on your blood it'll kill you. And the perils of hydrogen monoxide have been widely publicised online, a quick google search will reveal them to you.

    Oxygen is also toxic, and it's explosive too. In fact oxygen is what enables sugar to be broken down in your cells to carbon dioxide and hydrogen monoxide in the first place. Additionally, a 50% mixture between oxygen and any airbourne combustable substance, including very innocent things like icing sugar, is explosive. Oxygen is highly dangerous.

    We must stop eating sugar in all its forms, and also stop breathing in oxygen, in order to protect our bodies from the horror of carbon dioxide and hydrogen monoxide, caused by the breakdown of sugar in our cells.

    And you're absolutely rude!
    They weren't being mean, just asking a question.
    And you jumped down their throats.


    Btw, you have an error in your post, besides the bull about toxins.
