This is a nice article about sugar, but only begins to describe how destructive it is. Sugar is rampant in our society, it it everywhere-so difficult to avoid. I get so frustrated as a mother because it is so hard to keep my children from it, and, in order to prevent eating disorders later in their lives, I do allow them to have some sugar in things (very limited) so that they don’t start hanging out at their friend’s houses hroding goodies behind my back! It is a fine line we have to walk as parents. But the more you can get sugar out of your life and the lives of your children, the better off everyone will be. It causes a lot of disease and inflammation in the body and there is just not enough awareness on the subject.
