hard when your food source only stocks sugar laden food. the food is made to disguise the sugar used. marketing and advertising is aimed at children to pester their parents to buy sugar food. the supermarkets give main priority to sugar infested foods..

Well you are right about that.. but I am not going to worry because I am healthy the way I am. I am not obese, so the people who are obese who are children or adults should be looked into first because they are more at risk.

Diabetes being the main problem. Many on here will go on to develop it in later life if they eat too much of sugar!

Also ask your doctor and he will tell you about the increase in life expectancy over the years........Bit of a contradiction from the medical world saying we eat dangerously but live longer.....And before you say that is due to medical science just remember people are living longer before requiring any medical intervention.......

I think there are too many assumtions made about sugar and causing diabetes.

If your pancreas is unwell sugar sure can be deadly.........If it well then sugar is dealt with as it should be.....Diabetes runs badly in my family.......My father had type 1 via pancreatitus. My brother has type two....others have it.......

I am nearly 69 and have eaten sugary food on a massive scale all my life.......Not yet diagnosed with it fingers crossed......I do not believe sugar causes diabetes excep if you have a pancreas that is weakened.

I can vouch that sugar rotts ones teeth however so yes it is sensible to control intake of sugar.......But don't believe all that medical people claim as they change their minds as often as fashion changes......


Remember eggs high in cholestoral so say the scientists.......Having ruined the egg industry they now say they had got it wrong.......

When I was a young man scientists were predicting a new "ice" age now they say it's global warming.......When I was young they predicted automation would make everyone have hours of leasure and no need to work for two thirds of the worlds population.......Believe scientists at your peril........They mean well but like the rest of us they jump on band wagons and get their knickers in a twist......

Listen to medical advice but alway always qestion it. Make them prove what they claim......
