Watching this really changed the way I think about Sugar..........

The "Secrets of Sugar" aired on CBC's Fifth Estate last October, I only got around to watching it this past weekend, and it has really changed my thinking. I have a history of obesity, I'm thin now after losing quite a bit of weight but I've gained it back and lost it several times in my life, my intention this time is to keep it off any way I can! I immerse myself in nutrition information to learn all I can because of my tendency to gain weight so this show caught my interest, I really thought sugar was natural and harmless other than causing weight gain - better than artificial sweeteners! There is a pediatric endocrinologist that is interviewed that has a youtube video called "Sugar - the Bitter Truth" << also mindblowing - he has 4.3 million hits. I went out and purchased Dextrose (glucose) to see if I can incorporate it rather than Sucrose (sugar) if I really need it for anything.

No one needs sugar. It's poison.

I know, I would have never believed it though, I was so down on people about using artificial sweeteners and I would say "just eat the sugar!" Sugar seemed so harmless.
