“Sugar is ADDICTING”
There was a book in the ‘70s called “Sugar Blues” and it talked all about that.
I don’t eat much sugar, but I eat two or three pieces of bread a day or equivalent and I turned to pure stevia except for that rare occasion where I have a foo foo coffee and I will use three teaspoons of agave in that, but that’s rare I usually drink coffee black.
One ex of mine on the other hand, tho in good shape is a sugar eater, plus there’s 2 pancreatic cancer victims in her immediate family. She’s just asking for it IMHO.
I have not given up sugar 100%, as I’ll occasionally splurge on a piece of cake at a gathering or some sweet tea, but on most days, I consume no added sugar in the form of candy, sodas or other sweets. It benefits me greatly, as I feel much better physically, and I have also noticed a 20-point drop in my systolic blood pressure. I am always skeptical of a lot of dietary claims and sensationalism, but I do believe added sugar is detrimental to health.
