I may be losing this epic battle with my sugar addiction, the McFlurry I had this evening tells me that. I have begun to search articles about why sugar is bad for us, the first search brought up 224,000,000 results in 17 seconds, making me think that many people feel very strongly about this topic.
The first one I read says sugar isn't bad as long as we have it in moderation, this was referring to sugars from fruit and kind of ignoring processed cane sugar, n that's what I'm talking 'bout.
 

"We actually need sugar; it's our body's preferred fuel," says Dr. David Katz, director of the Yale University Prevention Research Center. "But we eat too damn much of it."

Naturally occurring sugar -- which gives fruit, some veggies, and milk their sweet taste — is perfectly healthy. It's added sugar (sweeteners put in during processing and prep) that we need to not OD on.

OK I know that bit about naturally occurring sugars, that’s why I love water melon and oranges.  Processed cane sugar didn't get a mention .

I’m having trouble with lots of sites timing out, maybe that means I don’t need to know this information!!!!

So far that fact that I have had to stop eating wheat has been the best thing for me, my old best friend and worst enemy TimTams are no longer on my menu.

I became a grandmother on May 11th, a beautiful baby girl, Aurora, I want to live long enough to enjoy time with young Rory as she grows up so this battle will rage on.

I'll add a photo of the life saving princess soon.

Even though I'm my only reader, I'll continue to blog my battle.
