I haven't checked all the research about sugars, but given our sugar consumption has skyrocketed, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't a contributing factor.Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-31470349896654582512011-07-20T23:59:17.528+10:002011-07-20T23:59:17.528+10:00You know... when I was in college, I used to cut s...You know... when I was in college, I used to cut sugar when I was concerned about my weight and it totally helped... I later though, switched to a fat obsession and didn't think about sugar, and it has been harder... I had attributed this to age...<br /><br />Thank you for planting this...

I was just looking at one of those baby cans of luncheon tuna and even that has an extra 1/2 teaspoon of sugar added on top of what was already in the tomato paste - it's a flavoured one - I think I'll begin to look at the ones with brine instead...but then I'll probably start worrying about the salt!Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09715879775216108688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6289360952268100151.post-64236780237970210072011-06-27T10:13:00.615+10:002011-06-27T10:13:00.615+10:00I am trying these days to make as much as I can fr...I am trying these days to make as much as I can from scratch.
