Sugar REALLY is Bad for You

I found a very interesting article about sugar and the many ways that it is bad for you not too long ago. I posted about it at Moms Talk Forum.

WOW!! I knew it was bad, but I guess I didn’t realize just HOW bad it could be. As if one reason wasn’t enough, the article listed 146 of them. I was hard pressed to find one organ/body part that sugar doesn’t hurt. It affects every part of your body in one way or another.

I’ve been making a real effort to watch my sugar intake and my body can definitely tell, because when I nibbled (ok so it was more than a nibble heehee) some of the peanut brittle I made the other day, my stomach didn’t like it at all. Good to the taste buds just not to the tummy.

After reading this, I sure am glad my body knows what’s good for me and what isn’t now. Has anyone else experienced this with sugar or any other “not so good for you” foods?
