Ooooh Black Cherry - a recent convert to Hanks - well, I'll have to look for it! Haven't seen it in the area. May have to travel (but there are other reasons for road trips too!)

Know your sugars--The dangers of white sugar:

*Interesting info on the various types of sugars.


Sugar's effect on your health

*Different ways sugar can effect your health

124 Ways Sugar Can Ruin Your Health: Dr. Joseph Mercola

*The title says it all. References added at the bottom

Health Danger of Sugar:
http://home.datacomm.ch/rezamusic/sugar_misc.html
*interesting site that explains how sugar is made

Just a few sites that covers the "dangers of sugar". This isn't to try to sway anyone from using sugar..if you use it, so be it.

I haven't used regular sugar since I found out I was diabetic, so I think I have a pretty good reason to not use regular sugar.

If only anyone used it anymore. All the soft drinks and nearly everything else that's sweet is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). By 1971, that's pretty much what all the soft-drink companies switched to.

What's the difference??? As it turns out, HFCS suppresses the hormone that tells you that you have had enough to eat. This is why all the fast food joints and restaurants started kicking up the portion size of soft drinks - the more of it you drink, the more you can eat before you get full.

Its not a coincidence (in the opinion of many nutritionists) that the obesity revolution in the US and elsewhere in the world started in 1971 - pretty much the same time that HFCS took the place of sugar (sucrose - which does not suppress the "I'm full" hormone).

Here's an article from the Washington Post for more info.

Our family has switched to Gatorade at home and water when we eat out.
