I've been using sugar substitutes with great success. In a big fan of Aguave nectar.

Refined sugar is responsible for such a litany of health issues it's unbelievable.
Take a look at the advent of Type II diabetes and that of refined sugar at the beginning of the 20th century.
I truly believe that sugar and carbs in general are the scourge of our health issues today.

I blame the internet. Go outside and play. Just remember to be home by dark.

I don't care much for honey in my tea as it covers the taste of my tea for the most part. I'm a tea snob. Everything in moderation including moderation.

I may not be spot on here, but I thought I saw a YouTube video a while back - some years ago refined sugar was banned by the FDA because they saw the effects it had on the brain in lab animals. But it kept coming around for another vote thanks to industry pressure. So the final go around, it was more or less a tie vote in the FDA - the guy that broke the tie in favor of allowing refined sugar to be produced immediately quit the FDA and went to "work" as an executive for the company that started manufacturing refined sugar.

I'll tread lightly but this and most all of these type issues stem from money in politics. Until everyone (both parties) gets together and concentrates on getting money out of politics these things (environment, education, food, etc.) will never really change.

Thanks for the heads up on this one. I still haven't finished watching it yet but I will require my whole family to watch it soon.
frightening stuff
In the last six months I've dropped 45 pounds and most of it was from eating better and WAY LESS SUGAR. Oh and NO POP........
