\"\"Once upon a time, sugar was mostly relegated to desserts. But now, excessive amounts can be found in our everyday foods and beverages, and it\u2019s taking a toll, according to recently published studies.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center exposed high-sugar diets as major risks for cancer, especially breast cancer.<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Frontiers in Molecular Neuroscience journal indicates that sugar may cause not only diabetes and obesity, but also brain defects similar to those triggered by stress or abuse.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Sugar accounts for much of our country\u2019s weight gain and the rise of fatty liver disease.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe already knew it was very bad for us, but alarming new evidence just keeps pouring in,\u201d says nutritionist and juicing pioneer Cherie Calbom, MSN, who is known as \u201cThe Juice Lady.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cDespite the case against excessive sugar intake, we know its prevalent use remains in things like ketchup, yogurt, canned soup, salad dressing, tomato sauce, bread, granola bars \u2013 not to mention soda or dessert-style coffee beverages.\u201d<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why Calbom suggests taking full control of the sugar in your diet by making your own meals, snacks and drinks. Her most recent book, \u201cThe Juice Lady\u2019s Sugar Knockout\u201d (www.juiceladycherie.com), offers recipes for overcoming sugar.<\/p>\n

Samples of her \u201cSugar Knockout\u201d recipes include:
\nCurb your carb craving with a Jerusalem artichoke-based juice cocktail.
\n<\/b>Here\u2019s a traditional remedy:
\n\u2022 3-4 carrots
\n\u2022 2 celery ribs
\n\u2022 1 Jerusalem artichoke
\n\u2022 1 cucumber, peeled if not organic
\n\u2022 1 lemon, peeled if not organic
\n\u2022 1\/2 green apple
\nWash produce first and, once juiced, drink as soon
\nas possible.<\/p>\n

Longing for dessert-time? Try a delicious alternative\u00a0to traditional Chocolate Mousse.<\/b>
\n\u2022 1 medium avocado, ripe
\n\u2022 2 Tbsp. unsweetened cocoa powder
\n\u2022 2 Tbsp. coconut nectar or 1\/4 tsp. stevia
\n\u2022 6 Tbsp. almond milk
\n\u2022 Optional: pistachios, strawberries, raspberries
\nor goji berries<\/p>\n

Put large chunks of avocado flesh in the blender. Add the cocoa, sweetener and almond milk. Blend, starting on low and then moving to high speed until smooth. If the avocado is larger, you will need a bit more of each ingredient. If it is too thick, drizzle in a bit more almond milk. Add more cocoa or sweetener to taste. Refrigerate the mousse and serve cold. Top with nuts or berries.\u00a0\u201cThese recipes let you know that, once you decide to live without sugar, it\u2019s deliciously possible,\u201d Calbom says.<\/p>\n
