Candida requires sugar as food. This can come in the source of any chemical that ends in “ose” such as glucose, fructose, or sucrose, etc. Carbohydrates such as bread and pasta are also converted by the body into sugars that act as another food source for the yeast. When glucose (from sugars and carbohydrates) is digested by Candida it creates the alcoholic chemical ethanol and its extremely toxic by-product acetaldehyde.
Candida and this alcohol, acetylaldehyde, are transferred via the placenta to the developing fetus and are capable of doing harm during development. After birth the baby continues to receive alcohol through the mother’s breast milk.
Alcohol can cause malnutrition by preventing the body from digesting proteins. Many liquid herbal tinctures contain alcohol. Be sure supplements are alcohol free.
Associated problems from alcohol:
• Aggressive and violent behavior. Alcohol causes damage to areas of the brain that can increase aggressive behavior to violent behavior.
• Anxiety
• Lethargy
• Impaired co-ordination, speech, and memory loss.
• Liver damage causing a lowered ability of the bodies’ detoxification processes.
• Damage to the intestinal lining reducing the ability for proper digestion and absorption of nutrients.
• Inability of the hormones released by the thyroid to become activated. NOTE: The thyroid may produce an acceptable lab test because it is releasing the proper hormones. The problem is that, once released, the hormones cannot do their jobs due to acetaldehyde inhibiting the working sites needed by those hormones.
• Malabsorption and malnutrition due to inhibition of pancreatic enzymes and reduced ability for the stomach to produce hydrochloric acid.
• Altering the bodies’ ability to utilize vitamin B6 which assists in the production of neurotransmitters for the brain.
