When I think about the amount of sugar I ate as a child, I am appalled. Every holiday was a love-fest of jelly beans, chocolate kisses, candy canes, and frosted cookies. At the time, we didn’t know any better, other than the fact that we were making our local dentist wealthy.
Now we know better, but unfortunately we eat far more sugar today than we did back then, both in the form of sweets and sugars hidden in foods that have no business sporting sugar at all. We now know that sugar is not our friend and should be avoided.
