Have They Been Poisoning Us with Sugar?
Sweet Seduction, Silent Damage, and the Body Under Siege
A Kasa de Franko Spanish Social Event
(This conversation will be conducted entirely in Spanish)
🗣️ What to Expect
This is not your high school Spanish class.
It’s a guided, unfiltered group conversation where you’ll:
- Practice real Spanish by diving into the hidden health crisis on every plate.
- Learn vocabulary about medicine, biology, emotions, and deception.
- Explore how sugar doesn’t just taste sweet — it wages war inside the body.
- Question whether the “comfort food” we love is slowly poisoning us.
If you like your Spanish mixed with health, culture, and raw truth, this is your dose.
💥 The Poison Disguised as Pleasure
One spoonful lights up the brain like love.
But inside the body, sugar becomes a silent saboteur.
It spikes blood sugar, crashes your energy, strains your liver, inflames your organs, rots your teeth — and still whispers: “Just one more.”
The result? A legal, celebrated poison that rewires your biology and profits from your pain.
This isn’t just about food. It’s about power, profit, and the chemistry of control.
🧠 The Questions We’ll Tackle (in Spanish)
- How exactly does sugar damage the body — from brain to liver?
- Is it fair to call sugar an addictive drug?
- Why do we crave what’s killing us?
- Who benefits when illness becomes normal?
- Can we fight back — or are we trapped in a toxic love story?
📖 Light Theory, Heavy Conversation
We’ll touch on:
- Robert Lustig — sugar as a chronic toxin, fueling disease worldwide.
- Michael Moss — “bliss point” science that keeps us hooked against our will.
- Susan Peirce Thompson — the psychology of food addiction and brain chemistry.
- WHO & global health voices — why public policy still bends to Big Sugar.
No medical textbooks, no lectures. Just sharp truths you can argue about — in Spanish — with people who want answers.
🎯 This Event Is For You If…
- You want to practice Spanish through real-world, high-stakes conversation.
- You’re curious (and maybe nervous) about what sugar really does to your body.
- You like mixing health, culture, and rebellion in one spicy discussion.
- You’re ready to discover why your sweet tooth might be political.
🎤 What’s Going Down?
- A crash course on sugar’s effects on the body (in Spanish).
- A guided group convo with vocab support and prompts.
- Laughter, shock, and the occasional existential sugar crisis.

✨ Why Don’t You Join Us?
Don’t come if you’re looking for polite small talk about tapas.
Do come if you’re ready to speak Spanish, confront the poison in your pantry, and leave with a sharper tongue — and maybe a bitter aftertaste.
Sugar may seduce, but in this conversation, we strip it bare.
Bring your curiosity. Leave your excuses. And maybe… rethink that dessert. 🍰💀
