but, so sweet!

there is added sugar in so many processed foods. i tink at mcdondalds they put sugar in everything, even the french fries.

this article talks about new findings of sugar's ill effects on our health. particularly how it causes heart trouble and increased cancer risks. I', going to try to not eat any added sugar today. (fruit sugar only) but i thought honey was a more beneficial sugar, the article seems to lump all sugars together.


it's strange how food science facts are often contradictory. you would think after 13,000 plus years of existance that humans would know what to eat by now. truth is we forgot how in the last couple hundred after food companies started dyeing and mixing and bleaching up ingredients to try and make a profit. now the foods that our cavepeople ancestors ate are harder to find. and kids are reminded by the government to eat 5 fruits and veggies a day because they dont know what to eat anymore.

anyway, i'll stop ranting, just something to keep in mind.
