Health & Nutrition Systems Announces the Launch of Carb Cutter A&B

Per capita sugar consumption among Americans is 150lbs. per year, for many of us that means we consume our own weight in sugar per year!

WEST PALM BEACH, FL (PRWEB) July 5, 2004 -- Soda is the largest contributor to refined sugars than any other food or beverage. In 2002, Americans consumed slightly less than 53 gallons of carbonated soft drinks per person per year (National Soft Drink Association). And although juices can provide nutrients such as Vitamin C, they are also quite high in sugar. Some fruit drinks are only partly fruit juice and contain about as much (or more!) sugar than soda! Alcohol is also a large contributor to weight gain -- alcohol, in fact, is a super refined sugar -- worse it is a fermented sugar (predigested) and once ingested makes an immediate assault on the body's stores of vitamins and insulin.

Studies have shown that our bodies don't register calories from liquids the same as it registers calories from food. In fact, a study published in the "International Journal of Obesity" showed that people who drink refined sugar beverages with or between meals consume MORE calories leading to significant weight gain.

Although more Americans are aware of sugar and carbs thanks to low carb diets -- research has shown that Americans are unlikely to shun refined sugar beverages anytime soon. In fact, more Americans are consuming refined sugar beverages compared with 20 years ago. And although there are low carb alternatives available, many still don't measure up to their full carb-counterparts leading dieters astray.

Health & Nutrition Systems International Inc. (the makers of Carb Cutter®) have recognized this fact and developed Carb Cutter® A&B (Alcohol & Beverages) to support dieters who consume refined sugar beverages. This revolutionary new dietary supplement may have an important role to play as consumers watch their intake of refined sugar beverages. This includes metabolizing excess sugars, filling nutrient gaps caused by excess refined sugar intake, enhancing the effectiveness of the diet, and providing options to low carb dieters that make it easier to stick with the program when they "cheat".

Carb Cutter® A&B is available at Wal-Mart, GNC, and other fine retailers.
