Re: I knew Sugar was bad, but never knew it was this bad for our health!
You are welcome, I felt the same way when I read this. actually the culprit is REFINED SUGAR, in its natural forms like in friuts and vegies or like sugar cane it is not as harmful, there was a study about the sugar plantations in Hawaii, the workers in the fields had fewer or no instances of diabetes where as the Owners of the plantations suffered from diabetes because of refined sugar consumption! so you go figure.
Refined Sugar is an excellent preservative! and has infinite shelf life, well suited for commerce! and it is no doubt addictive!
aik Urdu ka Muhavrah hai: Meethi Churri se katna 
and that is what refined sugar does to our bodies
