Sugar Is A Toxin

Mercy it is already past noon, where does the time go?

This morning I came across an article, I felt was worth sharing. It is about sugar being regulated as toxins.

Sugar and other sweeteners have been proven to be toxic to the human body. The researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) released in an issue of the journal Nature, that sugar should be regulated as strictly as alcohol  and tobacco by governments worldwide.

The researchers propose regulations such as taxing all foods and drinks that include added sugar, banning sales in or near schools and placing age limits on purchases.

The researchers cite numerous studies and statistics to make their case that added sugar and to be more specific, sucrose, an even mix of glucose and fructose found in high-fructose corn syrup and in table sugar made from sugar cane and sugar beets has been as detrimental to society as alcohol and tobacco.

As much as I am against to much government control and feel our current administration has went totally over board with their rules and regulations. I am not sure, I am against some of the proposed regulations made by the UCSF researchers. Considering in the United States, more than two-thirds of the population is overweight, and half of them are obese.  About 80 percent of those who are obese will have diabetes or metabolic disorders and will have shortened lives. And about 75 percent of U.S. health-care dollars are spent on diet-related diseases. Maybe it is time those that choose to over indulge in sugar should pay a price.
