How do we start the day? With an energy boost. Energy comes from diverse foods, not just sweet products. Consuming sweets every day, even in the morning, is linked to increased fats in the...blood.

We wake up. Billions of neurons quickly crave sugar. We can provide it immediately with something sweet. But the biological costs are too high! Or we can provide it slowly through a varied meal.

Dr. Antonela Burlacu, Chief Diabetologist and Nutrition Specialist: "Morning hunger indicates that we ate correctly the day before. If we ate late, I have a full stomach. If it’s full in the morning, normally I wouldn’t be hungry".

There are perfect connections between the brain, liver, pancreas and intestines. We destroy them with sugar, eating to calm ourselves and feel better. With too many calories taken at once. We learn what really happens in our body from Professor Laura Iliescu, MD.

Prof. Dr. Laura Iliescu, Internal Medicine, Fundeni Clinical Institute: "We think nothing happens, 'Oh, I ate a bun or a cake, nothing bad will happen'. But I’m upsetting the endocrine system and the nervous system with the hypothalamus, and it can’t regulate anymore".

All abnormal processes cause inflammation. We look at the liver. This is where fatty cells appear. This is because the sugar and fats in food can no longer be properly processed by this organ. The dietary aggression continues. A croissant in the morning, a few cookies, a piece of chocolate. The next step is inflammation in the liver.

Now is the time for dangerous cells to activate in the liver. They are called stellate cells. Normal liver cells are gradually replaced by stellate cells. The liver no longer performs its function correctly.

Prof. Dr. Laura Iliescu, Internal Medicine, Fundeni Clinical Institute: "Everything changes, and inflammation appears. Then these stellate cells migrate. They have extensions, little feet, because they secrete substances that activate them and, in turn, they secrete substances that stimulate collagen. This fibrosis appears, which on the skin is like a scar, but in the liver looks like a nodule".

Stellate cells do not allow the liver—the body's main energy factory—to produce energy. Essentially, they block all its functions. The liver suffers, and so does the gallbladder or cholecyst. It fills with... fat. Gallstones form. Most are cholesterol stones. They’ve been made by sugar all day. And the gut bacteria are overwhelmed by too much sugar. They become vulnerable to harmful, pathogenic bacteria.
