The FDA is worried about controlling the distribution of raw milk and yet sugar is abundant and everywhere. This article is outstanding, speaking about sugar in the context of it being like the next tobacco. I personally think of it as stronger than that. Maybe one day we will have sugar anonymous. Sugar is addictive, it causes so many problems in the body and these problems translate into more and more inflammatory type problems and worse, some researchers have connected sugar with feeding cancer. 

But, this is hardly discussed. I was at a birthday party this weekend, and I love our friends, but, like all children"s birthday parties, there was tons of candy! Everywhere you go it is abundant and unavoidable. I am certain that if parents were more educated on this subject, they would not give their children so much of it, but, maybe a big part of the problem is that the parents are addicts as well.

If you try to keep all of this down in your fmailies life, it is very complex and often you and your children feel like outcasts. This becomes such an emotional issue. Anyway, I thought this article was very illuminating and spot on-sugar should be a controlled substance, and if not by the FDA by parents and teachers and all of the establishments that give it out as if it were something wonderful.
