Whatever you do, AVOID WHITE, PROCESSED SUGAR AT ALL COST. This addictive yet extremely unhealthy, poisonous substance works insidiously at destroying your body and ruins your health. I speak from personal experience folks. For years, I used to consume disproportionately large amounts of chocolate ice-cream sweetened with this toxic chemical. Not to mention, the fact that pasteurized dairy in and of itself is no good either as it contributes to or causes disease. Well, over time my health completely deteriorated and rapidly so. I once had wonderful feelings of unlimited youth and vitality but that's no longer the case now. I can clearly remember the catabolic, acidifying effects the sugar had upon me... it felt as though I was slowly dying and withering away; as though I were sinking into my bed. My neck, arms and legs became flabby, weak, and skinny. Eventually, the acidosis took a huge toll on me and I lost a lot of muscle mass as it was eaten away which left me very weak and emaciated. Sadly and unfortunately, the ice cream binging has left me feeling and looking like a much older person long before my time. As a result, I've aged prematurely by at least 20 years and the effects are irreversible. I now find myself weak, frail, fatigued, depressed, languished, and totally disabled at the relatively young age of 31. I'm also diabetic and suffer from thyroid insufficiency. But to my utter discontent and misfortune, no matter what I do now to try and regain my former state of exuberant health, it simply does not work! I clearly attribute this inability to rebound/recover to the permanent, damaging effects of sugar upon my body's delicate internal glands and organs. So, as you can see, processed, white sugar is a robber of essential nutrients required to maintain a strong and healthy mind/body well past adolescence. Thus, it is critically important to avoid all white sugar/flour. For your sake, you've all been warned. Now please, go warn others.

Since my late 20's, I have suffered from arthiritis in my knees. I have eliminated HFCS (high frutose corn syrup) from my drinks and foods and noticed I do not suffer from arthritis anymore. Who needs all that sugar anyways???

You say too much sugar is bad for you. How much is too much?

The hardest part of getting my kids off of sugar are all the "sugar" rewards and good intentions of everyone from teachers at school and church to family members and even strangers at stores and banks thinkng they are being nice constantly giving us "treats". We try and be good and say no most of the time. However, lately, I've notice a few nice people trying to talk my kids into taking the treats when they think I am not looking. It used to be just holidays. But, somehow it has melted over into everyday courtesy when dealing with kids? We actually get the impression from some people that we are being rude not taking their cheap sugar rewards. What ever happened to simple rewards like sincerely saying, "thank you" or "good job". I try and reward my kids with attention from me, activities, and extra play time. Food should never be a reward but a way to nourish and build health. Of course, good, clean, tasty food is fun to eat, but only when you are hungry.

With this many reasons, you think people would actually get away from the stuff, though addicting i guess sometimes it can be hard for some to quit i guess.
