Why does something that tastes so good in foods have to be so bad for you? I love sugar!!

Same reason our dogs are getting too fat and having cancer more now than ever, and not living past 10 . When i was a kid, dogs never were sick and there was one Vet in our town and one drug store. Now the same town that has not grown that much has  5 Vets and 6 drug stores. Sugar in dry dog food is in insane amounts.   I had a order from Amazon using up a gift card and added on a bag of dog snacks that were  2.99 cents , I make 98% of all my dogs snacks but after all the stuff happening from my move, i figured i'd be lazy ..... Ingredient list on snacks..  Chicken, corn syrup, animal fat and so on, the bag of treats went in the trash.  Sugar and corn syrup made with GMO corn is killing us and our pets.

I've heard that there are more people addicted to sugar than drugs.  I believe it to.  So much sugar in pop, specialty coffee shops, smoothie shops, fast food.  And our palettes become trained to not like good healthy nutritional food when our brains are constantly triggered to eat more sugar.   I'm a professional baker/decorator and am around sweets 100% of the time. When I'm not working with them I'm researching them.  Everything in moderation I say - but once a month I can't stop myself from shoving junk in my face.

I love sugar in lots of things, but I agree with sak4kat "Everything in moderation"  Just not everyday.

Sugar causes so much havoc on the body, which is unfortunate because it's so yummy

Things that can offset/neutralize sugar levels in the blood:

water
apple cider vinegar
charcoal
green tea

Hope this helps!

The last couple of years I have cut way back on sugar and I feel so much better.  I still have some sweet stuff...but in moderation.

I spend more time at the market reading labels for sugar and carb content than I do actually shopping!

I have a big sugar addiction. Thankfully I was able to kick the soda addiction last fall, but I still have trouble with candy

Isn't that the way it always is.  Fortunately they have given us permission to enjoy a little chocolate now and then.

you left out the wonderful act of sweating(nothing like having a sugary  drink,going to sleep then waking up sweating) Once June hits I'm done with all processed sugar until mid October.

Sugar, I surely love it but because of it I have diabetes. But it is totally my fault, my fork/spoon didn't make me over weight and have diabetes.

Recently gave the police a lost diabetic kit,wonder how bad the person who has diabetes was being w/o days. Funny how with all the info in it like lot # the pharmacy I went to couldn't trace it to the owner. Hope the person had a back up and didn't drop over

I'm a sugar addict.  I've cut back some but I can't give it up completely.

    Do not use: Sugar.
    Do not use: High fructose corn syrup.
    Do not use any other dangerous product.
    It is that simple!
