The Dance

Imagine insulin as a graceful dance partner gliding across the floor of your bloodstream, gently taking glucose — your blood sugar — by the hand and leading it into your cells where it can shine. When the music is slow and steady, the dance is smooth. But when you flood the floor with too much sugar at once, the room gets crowded, insulin starts scrambling, and the whole routine turns messy. Those big sugar surges keep insulin on its feet nonstop, and any extra fuel gets tucked away as fat. Try this today: pass on soda or juice and reach for sparkling water or unsweetened tea instead — you may feel the difference when the dance floor stays calm and the rhythm smooths out.

"Diets high in sugar cause blood sugar levels to spike. Once that happens the body releases a hormone called insulin to bring blood sugar levels back to normal. One of insulin’s many functions is to promote cell growth, whether we’re talking normal cells or cancer cells."

"The Dunkin Donuts slogan “America runs on Dunkin” scares the hell out of me. The suggestion that a country prides itself on being “nourished” on donuts and lattés is rather curious."

"But Sunkist forgot to mention that fruit juice is very bad for us and we can get vitamins and antioxidants in dozens of other foods that don't hurt us in the process."
