Did you know...Sweet topic!

"The average American consumes an astounding 2-3 pounds of sugar each week, which is not surprising considering that highly refined sugars in the forms of sucrose (table sugar), dextrose (corn sugar), and high-fructose corn syrup are being processed into so many foods such as bread, breakfast cereal, mayonnaise, peanut butter, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, and a plethora of microwave meals."
Reference




"Sugar contains no real nutrition. If we never had another teaspoon of dietary sugar in our life, our nutritional health would not be affected in the slightest. So from a health viewpoint sugar is valueless."
Reference

It's everywhere, it's everywhere! Watch for hidden sugar.


A hearty thanks to Capt. Awesome for forwarding this...Happy Valentine's Week!
