SWEET DOESN'T HAVE TO MEAN SUGAR
Sugar and Traditional Chinese Medicine..
In TCM, the digestive system is viewed as the pivot of health. It's where our vitality, mood, hormones, and weight stems from.
In TCM dietetics there is a concept called 'The Five Flavours' with each 'flavour' corresponding to an organ, we learnt about organs and the emotions here, so we know nourishing the organs is important.
'Sweet' is associated with the spleen.

What Dr. Nat TCM has to say...
“Foods that contain sugars and gluten can be extremely taxing on the gut, and for those of us with poor digestion, they can wreak havoc and further damage the gut lining, severely lowering our overall immunity and digestive ability.”
"Whilst the cause of PCO/S is unknown, what is well understood is that by altering your sugar intake, your symptoms of PCOS are decreased dramatically."
