"146 Reason Why Sugar Is Ruining Your Health"

Here is an article I found highly interesting and informative. I also wanted to ad a quote from another book, "What's Eating Your Child" by Kelly Dorfman. "Sugar, in particular, has been proven to be as addicting as heroin to some people (and certainly in rats)." Hmmm. I refuse to drink alcohol or coffee, and use tobacco, because they are addictive and unhealthy for my body. But sugar? It's so available, so easy, very socially acceptable (ever try to refuse dessert when visiting someone else?), and SO yummy! But then, as the Lord's servant, can I continue to eat something that is impairing my health, and thus not allowing me to be useful to my full potential? Something to think on...
