He goes onto explain that “sugar, while natural, is being consumed at the rate of about 175 pounds per-person per-year, compared with an average of 15 pounds 50 years ago. This increasing sugar overload has led to an increase in metabolic syndrome (syndrome X) and Type 2 diabetes.”

Additionally, Dr. Laursen points out that “caffeine is a drug that adversely affects blood sugar, heart rhythms, anxiety, and insomnia.”
