Sugar accelerates aging, inflammation, and insulin resistance. It hides in 74% of packaged foods, even the “healthy” ones. But here’s the good news: understanding how sugar works in your body can help you break free for good, without deprivation.

A calorie burned is a calorie burned. I don't argue that. That's true. That's the first law of thermodynamics. But that doesn't mean a calorie eaten is a calorie eaten. That's not the same.

The game. Just. Changed. Throw the switch on my new "no added sugar" filter, and you can filter out all products in the US food supply with #addedsugar. That's 74% of the products on the shelf. perfact.co
