I thought I would post a quick note about why we should all be avoiding sugar. Most people know that excess sugar can lead to weight gain and problems with cavities.
However, possibly more serious effects of sugar result from the inflammation that excess sugar causes. Inflammation within the body is linked to various diseases such as arthritis, irritable bowel syndrome, colitis, Crohn's, Alzheimer's, asthma, heart disease and 'clogging of the arteries' to name just a few. Excess sugar consumption also increases your cholesterol and can lead to osteoporosis. Of course, sugar is not the only culprit, but it's a BIG one.
So, why not spare yourself some future health problems by reducing your sugar intake. Try one day without sugar - Wednesday June 1st, 2011.
Life can still be sweet without sugar! (maybe even sweeter...)
