Also, if you indulge that craving a lot, you may well have systemic yeast or candidaiasis. This flora, which eats sugar, can overgrow your intestinal tract and crowd out the other beneficial flora. Your cravings are actually demands by the yeast to be fed. Gross, huh?
“Candidiasis, or yeast syndrome, is an infection caused by an overgrowth in the gastrointestinal tract of the usually benign yeast (or fungus) Candida albicans.i,ii Normally, Candida albicans lives harmoniously in the inner warm creases and crevices of the digestive tract and vaginal tract in women.iii The immune system usually keeps Candida proliferation under control, but when the immune response is weakened, Candida growth can proceed unhindered. Candida is an “opportunistic organism,” meaning, when given the opportunity, will attempt to colonize all bodily tissues. In small amounts, this fungus is harmless, but an overgrowth can be destructive and cause numerous health problems. In fact, candida can produce over 140 different symptoms.
Candida thrives on sugar (including natural forms from fruit), carbohydrates, yeast, processed and refined foods.”
Since it is a condition that has a number of other unpleasant side effects too, you should see if you have any of the symptoms.
