Sugar leads to inflammation, blood acidification, and bone demineralization.
Without sugar, there is no acidification or demineralization.
When the blood is less sweet, or more acidic:
This prevents inflammation, blood acidification, and bone demineralization.
High sugar:
Serves as a direct food source for fungi and bacteria and weakens the immune system.
Acidification:
Combined with sugar, inflammation and microorganisms produce acids that disrupt the blood's pH balance.
Because sugar serves as fuel for invaders:
High blood sugar (hyperglycemia) opens the "gate."
Many pathogens, particularly the fungus Candida albicans, grow exponentially faster at high glucose levels.
Process:
Bacteria and fungi eat the sugars in food and convert them into acids.
The "good" bacteria have consumed all the available sugars (there is no more food for fungi).
The bacteria have made the environment so acidic that even fungi (which can tolerate a certain amount of acid) are inhibited in their growth.
Some bacteria can produce natural antibiotics (bacteriocins) that kill harmful invaders.
Protection:
The combination of a low pH (acid) and the lack of sugars prevents unwanted fungi and bacteria from surviving.
In addition, high sugar levels weaken the white blood cells (neutrophils), making the immune system less effective in responding to inflammation.
Bone breakdown:
To neutralize these acids, the body mobilizes alkaline minerals (calcium) from the bones.
Conclusion:
High blood sugar can lead to bone weakening through inflammation and acidification.

An imbalance in the sugar balance (due to diet or stress) weakens the internal systems (white blood cells) and the external protection (skin barrier), resulting in drier, more vulnerable skin that reacts differently to metals such as copper.

Note from writer :
Vegetables, fruits, and nuts remain very important for providing the body with the necessary low-glycemic carbohydrates, which provide your body with extra energy and even help lower your triglycerides.
Your body always strives for a healthy, balanced pH level for your blood, which should also be your goal to support. An optimal balance that leans slightly toward the more acidic side will always be healthier for your body than the sweet side.
If your pH would fall outside these narrow limits, you would be seriously ill. Acidosis, also known as acidic blood, can be caused by high blood sugar (diabetes), among other things, but that's precisely what we want to avoid.
Refined sugars, starches (and other stressors, such as chemical waste products) can acidify your blood and further increase high triglycerides, just like PUFAs, by the way. And that's not what we really want...
The benefits of a healthy blood balance that is slightly on the more acidic side, means a.o. there is more margin (limited) for blood sugar levels.
Wishing you good health 💝 .
