Processed SUGAR is a TOXIN, period.
The sugar industry has known for DECADES it causes heart disease, as has the FDA, yet they kept right on blaming saturated fats.
Trans Fat is indeed horrible for your heart, which they generally replaced saturated fats with, but processed sugars and carbs are the worst thing you can do for your heart health. Let alone your overall health.
I try to refer to sugar as Poison..to remind myself not to consume it.
