No Escaping It
The addiction of the American population with C12H22O11 is so complete that the social use of tobacco, alcohol, and drugs all pale by comparison. This substance is so entrenched it is hard to not eat it. Without purposely adding any to our diets and simply follow basic eating schedules, Americans eat a pound of the stuff a week.
According to Bart Hoebel, professor of psychology at the Princeton Neuroscience Institute, when tested on laboratory rats C12H22O11 showed to change neurochemicals in the brain and affected the nucleus accumbens, or the forefront part of the brain, in the same way as cocaine, amphetamines and other addictive chemicals: withdrawals, chattering teeth, and binge consumption if C12H22O11 withheld for small periods of time. The more this chemical is consumed the more dopamine is produced in the nucleus accumbens, and the more dependency upon the chemical. C12H22O11 is linked to: high blood pressure, problems of weight control, skin ailments, high cholesterol levels, a depressed immune system, eating binges, and tooth decay. In her book Lick the Sugar Habit Ph.D Nancy Appleton has listed more than one hundred different medical consequences from excessive intake of C12H22O11.
Unlike tobacco and alcohol there’s no age limit for the purchasing of C12H22O11H. If a kid has the money, he or she can buy it at will most everywhere they go. We stand next to some form of it in grocery stores, department stores, gas stations, video outlets, movie theatres, bars and taverns, office and school buildings, and it was present with astronauts on the moon in the late sixties. As consumers, we’re inundated about this chemical from the television, radio, and the print media. We seldom see this element in its raw form. We push it to each other on holidays, birthdays, get-well greetings, as snacks, and was at one time suggested as a medical advantage.
In the past one soda company used six hundred thousand tons in the process of making its soft drink and 127 different countries would produce 135 million tons a year for global consumption. Numerous delivery agents distribute C12H22O11: peanut butter, canned foods, breakfast cereal, ketchup, some vitamins, most processed foods, and even toothpaste. It’s an essential item in alcohol and can be used for currying meat. Many tobacco companies use it when processing cigarettes, cigars and pipe tobacco adding as much as forty percent to the product.
C12H22O11, or (sugar) is found in nearly every American kitchen. It is in our food, medical products, and social lifestyles. If you were born in the 1950’s, chances are you have eaten so much that you could already be addicted. Trying to consume food without C12H22O11 laced through it takes a knowledgeable, organized effort with some acute sacrifice. As a culture, we have allowed the saturation of sugar in the American diet for the last two hundred years. As a nation, we should look at our own kitchen tables and determine of ourselves if we are a nation of addicts.
