if you have too much of it, you may be more likely to get high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, dementia, and certain cancers, including breast cancer and colon cancer.
The fat doesn't just sit there. It's an active part of your body, making "lots of nasty substances," says Kristen Hairston, MD, assistant professor of endocrinology and metabolism at Wake Forest School of Medicine.
If you gain too much weight, your body starts to store your fat in unusual places.
With increasing obesity, you have people whose regular areas to store fat are so full that the fat is deposited into the organs and around the heart, says Carol Shively, PhD, professor of pathology-comparative medicine at Wake Forest School of Medicine.

About OFF GRID with DOUG and STACY:
We moved to our 11 acres in 2011 from a large city in the Midwest with zero carpentry and farming skills. We live with no solar / wind power / public water or well. We share our adventure to a sustainable life, growing our own food from vegetables to meat. We post videos DAILY and they range from HOW TO to EVERYDAY LIFE and NUTRITION on the off grid homestead. We were city folks just like you probably and wanted to enjoy life and have more control over our food. We share food recipes as well as natural remedies.

I avoid all soda and sweet drinks. I have lost about five pounds since my last Doctors visit. He and I are both pleased. I get so much out of your videos, thanks for posting them. I avoid corn syrup, I never realized that sugar was so prevelant in our diet. Thanks for sharing.

I’m so thankful for this channel. I quit the “white devil” a year ago after feeling unwell, doctors kept telling me I was the epitome of health , they changed the metrics when testing for pre diabetes , I was on my way there ( for 4 years) and no doctor was even warning me, my own body was though; I was tired, hypoglycemic, my leg was numb, my circulation was horrible. I’ve learned so much about food this last year, I’m so grateful to God for opening my eyes to it all. I just found your videos a month ago, I literally write almost everything down you say on notecards. Y’all have had a HUGE inspirational impact on my wellness journal and paradigm shift. I’m grateful to God for what you’re doing. I was born and raised a Jewish city girl (former Detroit), now I’m feeling healthier than I have my entire life…at 46, hallelujah!! ThankYOU for glorifying God friends by sharing your knowledge!!

As an older diabetic woman, stevia saved my life. When the doc said "change your food choices or you'll be dead in a year", I admittedly went a lil overboard and threw out or donated EVERYTHING in the fridge/freezer/pantry that contained over a few grams of sugar. Most everything, in other words. Took me a month or so to break the addictions, but stevia is my new best friend. I've lost 225 pounds to date. Oh, and I'm not dead yet. So nyaa nyaa, mister know-it-all doctor!

For several years, due to health concerns, I was forced to give up sugars and flours. Before Christmas however, I started baking again, and now, I'm getting sick again (irregular heartbeat, headaches, and swollen joints, feet, and hands). Because I'm allergic to honey and maple syrup and don't like the taste of Stevia, it looks like my baking days are over. To cheer myself up though, I've decided to give fermenting a try (which I learned on this site. So, thanks, Stacy). Lord willing, it will keep me busy, happy, and healthy (in my cozy little kitchen), for many years to come.

We’ve also been supporting with whole food supplements that are amazing. I (Troy) started running again and feel like I’m back in my 30s. Keep getting the word out about hfcs & refined sugar!

My son was sick with something called PANDAS. He is 13. This it a ammune reaction to strep throat, that causes a sudden onset of Terrets and OCD among other things. The short of it was that his ammune system was attacking his brain causing swelling. This is often miss diagnosed as a form of autism, but thank goodness my doctor was well informed. He still had strep in his intestinal track that needed to eliminated, and we had to get rid of the inflammation. This is relatively a unstudied and not well known thing. So treatment is still in the experimental stage. I did not want to ruin my son's intestinal bacteria with antibiotics and unknown chemicals that may or may not help. So I did some research and found that some essential oils were found to solve this reaction.(EO are not usually consumed and not FDA regulated) there are only a few oils that can be ingested (only pure EO can be eaten, thy are extremely strong form of plant essence) I used oregano 3 drops 3 times a day in capsules (oregano oil can burning your it's a hot oil and must be deluted in oil). This is good for killing bad bacteria, and strep bacteria. Then I used manuka honey 1 TBS twice daily for enflimation, and 1 drop of frankincense mixed in for immune stabilizer. It worked he no longer is yelling random words or making sounds all day, and the OCD is going away slowly. I read from a pandas face book that i will have to keep treating him for imflimation for a while to help his body fix itself, and that Everytime he's exposed to strep throat the symptoms will return ant to treat with oregano oil again.(oregano oil should only be used for no more than 3 weeks , 6 weeks for extreme). I'm so happy I just wanted to spread the news! Also check out the book the cure is in the cupboard it's about oregano oil. ( Essential oil companies per the FDA can not make claims that their oils can cure sickness, and Manny people like myself can not recommend a brand or risk their post being taken down, the FDA will not allow claims, Manny EO companies have to state not for consumption do to the Regulations) Essential oils need to be 100% pure, to be ingested only in very small amounts(drops). EO can be dangerouse do your research buy a book. I am not a doctor or professional and am not recommending for you to do what I did. Just putting the info out their for others to be able to make informed decision
