Yesterday was my husband's and my first year anniversary of no added sugar. What a joy to have made this change. Not only do I no longer live continually hungry, but my husband had a 50 year chronic (and getting increasingly more debilitating) sinus infection clear up in weeks after starting no-sugar. It's gone. He lost weight also, and I a bit but I wasn't overweight, just starting to add with age.
But for me, the amazing and unexpected result came in the form of cessation of hair loss. I am 68 and had begun to lose my hair at a rate that I thought I would soon be a candidate for a wig. The sink would be covered in it. It was most disturbing, but I found what grace I could and accepted that as my deal.
One day, however, after having stopped eating sugar for about 8 months, I washed my hair and noticed essentially NO hair in the sink. It just stopped falling out and now has come back. I remember thinking from my sheep ranching years, how fleece loss was always an indicator of ill-health in the flock. So it then made sense to me, how unhealthy I had become with no other outward sign but traumatic hair loss. Who knows what other bullets I've dodged by this change to sugar-free living.
Mr. Gillespie, you are the lead voice in a serious area of health, that needs our attention, especially for our children. We have been misled for far too long. Thank you for being that voice and having a mate that has joined you and added so much to what you both have to offer.
