sugar...

july 2009
I keep telling my husband, even though it's tradition, that's it not good to put syrup all over his waffles weekly. The kids and I have long gotten out of the habit, putting fruit on our waffles, pancakes and french toast, sometimes jam(which has sugar but I'm hoping it's not AS bad). It's very intriguing to me, the subject of sugar. In researching the subject, I have found a couple of very interesting articles, including a couple of youtube videos about the history of where sugar comes from, even how it influenced parliament in making decisions about who would keep what countries that were being fought over.

Part 1 and 2:

The article http://www.healingdaily.com/detoxification-diet/sugar.htm , I find very informative, especially the part in how sugar greatly effects the immune system, cancer and the spread of cancer in the body, all because of sugar. One might start thinking a little more about what exactly they are eating. Sugar is consumed in almost all forms of food. I was surprised to see however, that honey, is actually just as bad, or worse than refined sugar. Take a gander, and decide for yourself where you fit, and if you care what it really even does to your body!
