Today's Health Awareness Tip 974: "Stevia" and our children's "Puberty" - continued
So, yesterday . . . we spoke about how the sweetener called "stevia" . . . can "alter" the hormone called "cortisol" in the body.
And how it can "especially" affect our PRE-TEENS and TEENAGES . . .
So, let's continue . . .
The Nation Wide Children's Organization said this . . .
When a "child" experiences "toxic stress" . . . the Hypothalamic Pituitary and Adrenal hormone axis . . . is "over-activated" . . .
And this blood level . . . of the "stress" hormone called "cortisol" . . . becomes "higher" than normal . . . and can result in long term changes in inflammation and "immunity".
And unfortunately . . . in today's crazy world . . . our "children" are in a "heightened" level of "toxic stress" all the time.
Now, add to that . . . presenting our "children" with high levels of "simple sugar" and/or "stevia" . . . this sends their "cortisol" level . . . over the moon.
And with that . . . the U.S. National Library of Medicine states:
"Stressful" experiences during "puberty" . . . disrupt "behavioral" responses to gonadal hormones . . . both in "SEXUAL PERFORMANCE" . . . and on "cognition and emotionality"!!!
So, my question is this people . . .
IS THIS WHAT'S HAPPENING TO OUR CHILDREN OF TODAY???
ARE HIGH LEVELS OF "CORTISOL" ACTUALLY AFFECTING OUR CHILDREN'S SEXUAL PERFORMANCE . . .
COULD IT ALSO BE AFFECTING SEXUAL PREFERRANCE . . . ORIENTATION . . . OR . . . IDENTY???
JUST SAYING PEOPLE . . . SOME FOOD FOR THOUGHT!!!
Okay . . . so how do we know if our children have "high" levels of "cortisol"???
Well . . . some of the symptoms would be . . .
Weight gain
Rounded face
Fatty hump between the shoulders
and Pink or purplish marks on the skin . . . just to mention a few.
So, tomorrow . . . let's dig a little deeper . . . and discover even more devastation to our "children's" health . . . in a result of "too much" cortisol.
