If you’re looking for the top impact candy to freak out the kids on the block this Halloween, hand out the Zit Poppers Gummy Pimple Candy. It’s gooey, it’s gross, and you can pop those zits as you relieve the pressure of massive pimples by squeezing them between two fingers until they burst forth their icky fluid. Zit Poppers are plump candy pimples, goo filled gummies ripe for squirting…. and come in 2 fruity flavors, Strawberry and Watermelon.
If you want to be mainstream, the choices are down to M&M’s and Snickers, two of the top selling chocolate candy bars in the U.S. and worldwide. The Mars family named Snickers candy bar (the U.S. favorite) after their beloved horse in 1930.
As you hand those cute little kids their sugar candy snacks, and scarf down a handful or bag yourself, don’t be alarmed if you start to see a personality change. Sugar, according to the studies, can transform an ordinary guy or gal into a monster.
As you pack down 10 to 2o pounds of sugar this week during the Halloween frenzy, sugar consumption in America is one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease. It raises the insulin level, which inhibits the release of growth hormones, which in turn depresses the immune system. An influx of sugar into the bloodstream upsets the body’s blood-sugar balance, triggering the release of insulin, which the body uses to keep blood-sugar at a constant and safe level. Insulin also promotes the storage of fat, so that when you eat sweets high in sugar, you’re making way for rapid weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels, both of which have been linked to cardiovascular disease.
Complex carbohydrates tend to be absorbed more slowly, lessening the impact on blood-sugar levels. Is there benefit to sugar besides tasting good and providing an energy boost? Sugar depresses the immune system. The health dangers which ingesting sugar on an habitual basis creates are certain. Simple sugars have been observed to aggravate asthma, move mood swings, provoke personality changes, muster mental illness, nourish nervous disorders, deliver diabetes, hurry heart disease, grow gallstones, hasten hypertension, and add arthritis.
Because refined dietary sugars lack minerals and vitamins, they must draw upon the body’s micro-nutrient stores in order to be metabolized into the system. When these storehouses are depleted, metabolization of cholesterol and fatty acid is impeded, contributing to higher blood serum triglycerides, cholesterol, promoting obesity due to higher fatty acid storage around organs and in sub-cutaneous tissue folds.
This item was provided as a public service announcement to those who can’t control their candy intake as we enter not one, but three food holidays–Halloween in October, Thanksgiving in November, and Christmas in December. The next food holiday after that, Super Bowl Sunday, comes well over a month later in February.
