SUGAR IS NOT GOOD FOR YOU

Sugar is not good for you. I am guessing that this is probably not a completely surprising fact. A recent article in US News and World Report listed 9 Reasons why sugar should be avoided (and weight management was not on this list)  I have summarized the 9 reasons:

1. Risk of Cancer lessened. (Studies have found correlation between too much sugar and cancer.)
2. Increased Happiness. (Sure you get the 'sugar buzz' but that is followed by the 'letdown.'
3. Increased Mental Abilities.  (Sugar can inhibit normal brain functions.)
4. Increased Heart Health.  (Thin folks that consume too much sugar are still at risk of heart disease.)
5. Better Teeth.  (Your Mom (and mine) were right....sugar can rot your teeth and lead to decay.)
6. Healthier Liver. (You don't need to be overweight to damage your liver from too much sugar.)
7. Decreased risk of Type 2 Diabetes. (Here too, one does not need be overweight to be at risk.)
8. Better Skin. (less acne, and less aging - what's not to like about that?)
9. Increased Life. (If you are avoiding sugar completely... do you really want to live longer?)
.
Here is my question for God.... If sugar is so bad for us, why did you have to make it so tasty, delicious and addictive?
