Serge, who
for a time studied Max Heindel, commented on this:
« One of the reasons why I stopped
following Max Heindel is because he claims that the consumption of sugar is
healthy (Whaaaaat!!!!). Well, it is enough to see his obesity to realize that
once again this statement was made by a charlatan; or "his older
brothers" played a prank on him, since today it is known that man lives
much better without consumption of added sugars, and if you consume them, it
affects your metabolism and damages your insulin receptors, which can cause
diabetes and even some types of cancer. »
Here is a
photo of Max Heindel which shows that he did indeed put on weight:
Serge did
not specify where Max Heindel said that, but searching I found that he stated
it in his book Occult Principles of Health and Healing, and
more precisely in the chapter entitled "The science of nutrition"
where Max Heindel wrote:
« It is popularly supposed that
sugar or any saccharine substance is injurious to the general health, and
particularly to the teeth, causing their decay and the resulting toothache. Only
under certain circumstances is this true. It is harmful in certain diseases,
such as biliousness and dyspepsia, or if held long in the mouth as candy, but
if sparingly used during good health and the amount gradually increased as the
stomach becomes accustomed to its use, it will be found very nourishing. The
health of Negroes becomes greatly improved during the sugar-cane harvest time, notwithstanding
their increased labor.
This is
attributed solely to their fondness for the sweet cane-juice. The same may be
said of horses, cows, and other animals in those localities, which are all fond
of the refuse syrup fed to them. They grow fat in harvest time, their coats becoming
sleek and shining. Horses fed on boiled carrots for a few weeks will get a coat
like silk, owing to the saccharine juices of that vegetable. Sugar is a nutritious
and beneficial article of diet and contains no ash whatever. »
(Chapter
10)
Max Heindel in
this text states that sugar is very beneficial for health, but that has been
disproved by science as I show you in this video:
And not only
do scientists say that sugar is harmful to health, but so do Transhimalayan
masters, as I demonstrate with the advice Master Kuthumi gave to his lay
student Alfred Sinnett:
« You use too much sugar in your food. Take fruit bread tea coffee and
milk and use them as freely as you would like to, but no chocolate, fat, pastry
and but very little sugar. The fermentation produced by it especially in that
climate of yours is very injurious. »
(ML
127, p.455)

And this is one more example of the big ignorance that
Max Heindel had and how harmful his teaching can be.
