Quote:
*Try* to limit yourself to 10 tsps of *added* sugars a day? Ummm, that's a lot of sugar. Pour 10 tsp of sugar on your counter and see what they're really recommending. And they're talking about people who actually are already eating a healthy diet. Quote:
Oh, and one other quote: Quote:
10 million tons annually. Wow.

Re: What's wrong with Sugar? Convince me it's poison, please?
[quote][Oh, and one other quote:
Quote The UN's World Health Organization has launched an international campaign to cut consumption of refined sugar, which it says is the principal culprit in the current epidemic of obesity and its associated diseases, diabetes and cardiovascular disorders. Americans, who comprise only 5% of the world's population, account for a whopping 33% of total global sugar consumption - over 10 million tons annually. http://www.commondreams.org/views04/0125-01.htm 10 million tons annually. Wow. /quote] And that certainly explains why we have to spend way more on health care per person than any other country and yet we have terrible overall health ratings. We keep eating more and more processed and refined foods and spending more and more on health care only to keep getting less healthy. |

Update: Sugar free since Feb 26. Had one small intentional "free sugar" moment Saturday night, but went right back to being sugar free the next day... Loving this! Thanks everyone for helping me make this change.

Sitting here drinking a coke.
I was able to be sugar free for a couple of weeks, and then life sort of caught up with me and I stopped being vigilant about it. It's a lot of work! The major benefits I saw were that my appetite was nil, my energy levels were more consistent, and I had very few cravings... |

Re: What's wrong with Sugar? Convince me it's poison, please?
It's weird... the hardest part of going sugar free is dealing with the stigma of it... you know? People look at me like I have 5 heads when I tell them I don't eat sugar or white stuff... My darling sweet hubby misses our sweet treats together... Socially, this is not an easy thing to do. Oh, and I hate drawing attention to myself, which inevitably happens when I'm sugar free in a social situation.

Re: What's wrong with Sugar? Convince me it's poison, please?
Great thread. Does anyone read Body Ecology information? I like what they have to say about sweeteners. I do wonder if we candida sufferers have a harder time with sugar. I often think alcoholics are really overcome with candida, but why some people overdose on sugar and others on alcohol, I don't know.
I was sugar free for a while and it was hard that first week-my head was killing me and I was SO Tired. However, I have really cleaned up my diet all around over the past year and I find that when I overindulge in sugar/flour my head hurts so bad immediately, that I really don't want to do it much. Even cow's milk gives me a headache. So, once you work sugar out, it does make it hard to cheat. I wonder what causes the headaches though? Thinking of all my sugar free, or should I say anti sugar sisters.
