Eating sugar in excess of what can be immediately burned causes it to be stored in the liver in the form of glucose (glycogen). Since the liver's capacity is limited, a daily intake of refined sugar soon causes the liver to exceed its ability to store sugar, and the excess glycogen is returned to the blood in the form of fatty acids. These are taken to every part of the body and stored as fat in the most inactive areas: the belly, the buttocks, the breasts, and the thighs.

Eating even two teaspoons of sugar creates a wide range of deficiencies and toxicities for a period of six to eight hours, causing massive cellular malfunction.

Insulin signals cells to absorb excess sugar, which solves the problem of too much sugar in the blood, but it creates a host of new problems. Now the body's cells have too much sugar. To correct this imbalance, cells turn the sugar into saturated fat.

People who regularly consume artificial sweeteners may find naturally sweet foods (like fruit) unappealing, and unsweet foods (like vegetables) intolerable. Artificial sweeteners may also cause insulin secretion, driving calories into fat cells and stimulating hunger.62 In addition, fat cells have been reported to contain sweet taste receptors—similar to those on the tongue. Artificial sweeteners may promote fat cell growth by stimulating these receptors or in other ways.

Without carbohydrate, insulin secretion plummets and the body switches from the sugar glucose to ketones (chemicals derived directly from fat) as its main fuel. Some
