Sugar is not Poison.

That's right - I am disagreeing with at least 100 opinions of different commenters and bloggers I've read over the past week. In my eyes, sugar is most definitely not poison.

Here's why;

- Yes, sugar is addictive, but 4 days without was enough to curb this addiction. I was once addicted to water; is water poison, too?

- I do not have a weight problem and the amount of sugar I have is no longer effecting my health. I truly do not believe the limited amount of unrefined sugar I eat would.

- An excessive amount of any food is poisonous, as it too will make you ill.

- If man was not meant to eat sugar, was man not meant to eat boiled potato and live on a raw food diet? Or kill animals with tools, (not his claws and teeth like other animals), and be vegetarian?


I don't know, I didn't read the books and I don't intend to. Yes, a diet low in sugar is a diet I would consider healthy, but banning it doesn't seem logical. Sugar is everywhere, especially in the form of fructose, and I'm very sure that I'm not about to give it up. Even if I have significantly reduced my independance on it and my chocolate serving sizes.

I'd only suggest trying this if you feel you are addicted to sugar, but certainly not if you have any blood glucose issues.

Stay well,

PS. Eating a bit of something fatty, (almonds, or nut butter), as suggested by Sarah Wilson and I assume David Gillespie, really does work on curbing the sugar craving (if you need to curb them).
