Most people know that Louis Pasteur invented the process of pasteurization back in the middle of the 19th century.
Pasteur looked under his microscope and saw germs—parasites, bacteria, and amoebas—doing things he thought could harm human health.
To kill these bugs, he invented a process of heating liquids and food, such as dairy products.
Sugar Attracts Parasites and Bacteria
Unfortunately, a by-product of pasteurization is that the healthy proteins these liquids and foods contain are also destroyed.
As it turns out, Pasteur had a scientific rival, another Frenchman named Antoine Béchamp.
Béchamp saw things differently than Pasteur did and proposed the Terrain Theory.
To Béchamp, germs weren’t a problem that had to be killed off. They were simply a part of the world, the way a hill, river, or field is part of the terrain.
He argued that these germs serve a valuable purpose because they challenge us biologically to increase our host resistance, the barriers we erect to keep these germs from infecting our bodies.
Today, I would argue that sugar is one of the critical attractors for harmful germs.
Sugar attracts parasites, bacteria, and amoebas that hope to feed on that sugar and thrive.
Just look at what happened with COVID-19.
Some of the people who got sickest and died from that virus were people ridden with metabolic diseases such as diabetes.
In other words, their overconsumption of sugar lowered their host resistance.
I’m not saying we don’t need modern medicines to survive.
I’m arguing that we need new perspectives that can lead us to innovations.
