The beauty of this is that even the most bizarre perversions of diet aren't overly harmful. Very little long-term research has focused on the whole of dietary intake. The Framingham study showed us that the earlier we correct our diet, the better our long-term prognosis will be. In other words, the earlier in life we start to take in balanced nutrition, the better off our later years will be in terms of health. It only makes sense.
Sugar is the basic energy-providing molecule.
Yes, we can use alternative sources. Our body can make sugar from both fats and proteins. Sugars, starches, and complex carbohydrates are all in this category. The complex carbohydrates help fight cancer, help regulate blood sugar, and even lower cholesterol. Wild rice is better in supplying these than white rice.
