Sugar: The Good, The Bad and The Ugly

Bad!!  Are we eating too much sugar? Yes, way too much! There is too much "hidden" sugar in food we eat each day - over 80% of the sugar we eat is hidden in "every day foods". Lets just take ketchup as an example. Ketchup contains far more sugar than most chocolate does! People eat in general around 100 grams of sugar every day - or 41 kilos a year!! That's two times more than we should!


Each cube of sugar represents a teaspoon!! 
There are 4 teaspoons in each ounce of sugar

Good: What's the different between the sugar in fruit and refined sugar? Sugar in fruit will be absorbed more slowly by the body than refined sugar and will keep insulin and blood sugar stabile - refined sugar will make insulin and blood sugar rise very quickly and drop just as quickly...not satisfying the reason you wanted something sweet in the first place.
