I think most people know the classic signs of eating too much sugar, which is fatigue, brain fog, belly fat, cravings for carbs, cavities.

我想大多數人都知道吃糖過多的典型症狀，那就是疲勞、腦霧、腹部肥胖、渴望碳水化合物、蛀牙。

But I need to clarify exactly what sugar is and the difference between a sugar and a carbohydrate because there's a lot of confusion in the area of complex carbohydrates or simple carbohydrates or simple sugars. It's a big blur for a lot of people.

但我需要澄清糖到底是什麼，以及糖和碳水化合物之間的區別，因為在複合碳水化合物、簡單碳水化合物或單糖領域存在很多混淆。這對很多人來說都很模糊。

A carbohydrate consists of three things, sugar, fiber, and starch.

碳水化合物由糖、纖維和澱粉三部分組成。

But starch is the hidden sugar that no one's talking about.

但澱粉是隱藏的糖，卻無人問津。

Now, of course, you have like starch in vegetables, but then you also have starch in this stuff right here, right? Or this stuff right here.

當然，蔬菜中含有澱粉，但這些東西中也含有澱粉，對嗎？或者這裡的東西

So what actually is starch?

那麼澱粉到底是什麼呢？

Starch is sugar, okay? It's just a bunch of sugar connected together.

澱粉就是糖，知道嗎？它只是一堆糖連接在一起。

And so the word that the user described it is poly, which means many, saccharides, which means sugar.

是以，用戶描述它的詞是 poly，意思是很多，saccharides，意思是糖。

So when you're eating starch, you're actually eating sugar, okay?

所以，當你吃澱粉的時候，實際上是在吃糖，好嗎？

And when we talk about starch in the grocery store, we're talking about this stuff right here, powdered starch. We're not talking about potatoes or vegetables.

當我們在雜貨店裡談論澱粉時，我們談論的就是這些東西，粉狀澱粉。我們說的不是洋芋或蔬菜。

We're talking about ultra processed food, calorie starch.

我們說的是超級加工食品、高熱量澱粉。

And this starch will spike your blood sugars way, way, way higher than actual sugar will.

而這種澱粉會讓你的血糖飆升，比真正的糖還要高。

On the glycemic index, you have table sugar, which is 65.

在血糖生成指數上，食糖是 65。

You have glucose, which is 100.

葡萄糖是 100。

But there's starches like maltodextrin, which can go up to about 185.

但麥芽糊精等澱粉含量可高達 185 左右。

That's like a massively high spike.

這就像一個巨大的高峰。

And it's not just maltodextrin. It's like modified food starch and modified corn starch.

而且不僅僅是麥芽糊精。它就像變性食品澱粉和變性玉米澱粉。

And it's pretty wild because you can make starch from corn.

這很瘋狂，因為你可以用玉米制造澱粉。

You can make seed oils from corn.

你可以用玉米制作種子油。

And you could make sugar like in glucose syrup or corn syrup from corn.

你還可以用玉米制作糖，比如葡萄糖漿或玉米糖漿。

You can buy one metric ton of corn for $198.

你可以用 198 美元買到一公噸玉米。

Now from that investment, how many boxes of cornflakes could you make?

這筆投資可以生產多少盒玉米片？

And cornflakes are mostly made out of corn.

而玉米片主要由玉米制成。

And you can buy those from Walmart for about $4 a box.

你可以從沃爾瑪買到，一盒大約 4 美元。

So $200 of corn will turn into 3,636 boxes of cornflakes, giving you profits of $14,500.

是以，200 美元的玉米將變成 3,636 盒玉米片，給你帶來 14,500 美元的利潤。

That's a 7,150% profit margin.

利潤率高達 7150%。

Now, what other investment can you get over 7,000% profit from a raw material to a finished product?

現在，還有什麼投資能讓你從原材料到成品獲得超過 7000% 的利潤？

Can you do with meat?

你能用肉做嗎？

No. Meat has like a 30% margin.

不，肉類的利潤率大概是 30%。

So somehow cornflakes and Cheerios and even vegetable oils are not attacked for being unhealthy.

是以，不知何故，玉米片、奇樂果甚至植物油都不會因為不健康而受到攻擊。

They're heart healthy.

它們有益心臟健康。

But meat, for example, is vilified. That'll cause cancer.

但比如肉類，就會遭到詆譭。那會致癌。

But anyway, I digressed from the topic.

但不管怎麼說，我還是離題了。

But I think it's important to know that the biggest reason for ultra-processed food, aka junk food, is massive profitability.

但我認為，重要的是要知道，超加工食品（又稱垃圾食品）的最大原因是巨大的利潤。

So now let's dive into the seven surprising signs that you're eating too much sugar.

現在，讓我們來了解一下您吃糖過多的七個驚人跡象。

Number seven is reduced collagen.

第七個問題是膠原蛋白減少。

When you consume too much sugar, you're going to produce less collagen.

攝入過多的糖分會減少膠原蛋白的生成。

And that's going to show up in loose skin, more wrinkled skin.

這將表現為皮膚鬆弛、皺紋增多。

People that eat more sugar are going to age prematurely.

吃糖多的人會提前衰老。

Number six, a chronic white tongue.

第六，舌頭長期發白。

So you have a white tongue that just doesn't seem to go away.

所以，你的舌頭髮白，似乎就是無法消失。

That is a form of candida.

這是一種念珠菌。

Because you're eating too much sugar, you're feeding this fungus.

因為你吃了太多的糖，你在餵養這種真菌。

And it's continuing to grow.

而且還在繼續增長。

I do not think you can get rid of this candida without eliminating sugar from the diet.

我認為，如果不從飲食中剔除糖分，就無法去除這種念珠菌。

Because it loves these simple sugars.

因為它喜歡這些單糖。

And number five, we get into chronic sinus problems.

第五，我們會遇到慢性鼻竇問題。

Most chronic sinus problems are a fungus called Aspergillus.

大多數慢性鼻竇炎都是一種叫做麴黴菌的真菌引起的。

It's the usual type.

這是常見的類型。

And that microbe actually feeds off of sugar too.

而這種微生物實際上也是以糖為生的。

So again, I don't think you're going to be able to get rid of a chronic sinus infection unless you completely get rid of sugar.

所以，我還是那句話，除非你徹底戒掉糖，否則你不可能擺脫慢性鼻竇炎。

Because it keeps living off the sugar that you consume.

因為它一直靠你攝入的糖分為生。

All right, number four, red or pink gums.

好了，第四項，紅色或粉紅色牙齦。

You brush your teeth and you see a little pink in the toothbrush.

你刷牙時看到牙刷裡有一點粉紅色。

That is a very mild version of scurvy where you're having a vitamin C deficiency.

這是一種非常輕微的壞血病，你會缺乏維生素 C。

So when you eat sugar, you block vitamin C.

是以，當你吃糖時，就會阻斷維生素 C。

And one place that it shows up is in your gums.

牙齦就是其中的一個表現部位。

All right, number three is low testosterone.

好了，第三個問題是睪丸激素過低。

That's right.

這就對了。

Sugar will lower testosterone.

糖會降低睪酮。

That can lead to erectile dysfunction, decreased libido, and also difficulty building muscle as well because testosterone is involved in that.

這可能會導致勃起功能障礙、性慾減退，也很難增肌，因為睪酮也參與其中。

Number two, susceptibility to infection.

第二，易受感染。

That's right.

這就對了。

Having too much sugar will weaken your immune system to the point where you're more vulnerable to acquire an infection.

攝入過多的糖分會削弱免疫系統，使您更容易受到感染。

And the number one sign that you're eating too much sugar, and this is actually very surprising, high levels of adrenaline.

你吃了太多糖的首要跡象，實際上是腎上腺素水準過高，這一點非常令人驚訝。

Too much sugar damages the cell's ability to make energy in the mitochondria.

過多的糖會損害細胞線粒體制造能量的能力。

And so the way that the body compensates for that is by increasing adrenaline, not just for energy, but to help mobilize glucose and to make new glucose for fuel.

是以，身體對此的補償方式就是增加腎上腺素，這不僅是為了補充能量，也是為了幫助調動葡萄糖，製造新的葡萄糖作為燃料。

That's called gluconeogenesis.

這就是所謂的葡萄糖生成。

High adrenaline doesn't come from mental stress.

高腎上腺素並非來自精神壓力。

It comes from physical stress or stress that happens in your cells because you're not able to make enough energy.

它來自於身體壓力或細胞內因無法產生足夠能量而產生的壓力。

And so this is why you might notice when you're fatigued that you have a lot of nervous energy, restlessness.

這就是為什麼當你感到疲勞時，你會發現自己精力緊張、坐立不安。

That's the big symptom of mitochondrial damage and a low vitamin B1 because the motor is broken.

這就是線粒體損傷和維生素 B1 含量低的主要症狀，因為電機壞了。

And vitamin B1 is a spark plug to help activate it.

而維生素 B1 則是幫助激活它的火花塞。

And the more sugar or starch, the more requirement for B1, and then it kind of puts out the flame.

糖或澱粉越多，對 B1 的需求就越多，然後它就會熄滅火焰。

So now you get this nervous energy or this lactic acid buildup.

是以，你現在會產生緊張能量或乳酸堆積。

So this leads to insomnia, restless leg syndrome, and also the adrenaline is going to affect your digestion and also increase clotting in the body, heart attack and stroke.

是以，這會導致失眠、不安腿綜合症，腎上腺素還會影響消化，增加體內凝血，引發心臟病和中風。

Now, since I did mention ultra processed food calories, if you have not seen this video on maltodextrin, you should check it out.

現在，既然我提到了超加工食品的熱量，如果你還沒看過這段關於麥芽糊精的視頻，就應該去看看。

I put it up right here.

我就放在這裡。
