Sugar

Why is sugar so good but yet so horribly bad for us to eat? I mean, REALLY!? It's in candy bars, soda, and a lot of every day - table food items. Yet, we aren't supposed to eat it! Check out this article about how many pounds we have all put on over the last decade or so just by eating too much sugar!

And get this --> Sugar is noteworthy as a substance that releases opioids and dopamine and thus might be expected to have addictive potential. --- Just pulled that line from another website! WOW! It just keeps getting better and better!

45 grams of allowance a day? That sounds about right. I try to keep my meals (3 meals) below 13 g per meal...doesn't always work but it's a goal at least. I have a number in my head. It's a great place to start! ;-)

I don't drink any soda, and I eat candy bars very rarely. If I do eat one, I split it up over a couple of days instead of all in one sitting. I have to still have my chocolate - typically try to stick to the dark so I can get my extra nutrients out of it and not feel so bad!
 (Not this kind of chocolate but couldn't resist the picture! ---- Don't you just want to catch the chocolate drip?! HOLY CRAPOLA!)

Have I made you salivate yet?

Time to head out! See ya!
