Thing is, if sugar caused cancer, I’d expect cancer rates to be way higher in women than men, because men don’t tend to be such suckers for sugar as women are. Men tend to crave meat and salt. It’s women who are the chocoholics, generally. Yet men are more susceptible to cancer than women are.

In my circle it’s the opposite. The husbands enjoy generous amounts of desserts at every gathering and even their drinks of choice are sugary. The men never order red wine or whiskey with club soda. It’s always something with coke whereas all the wives are careful about their sugar intake. I dislike candy, even chocolate, but my husband loves it.

Thinking about family gatherings, church and fire department potlucks it’s the same-the men generally eat more sugar than the women.
