It's my personal belief that the increased sugar consumption is what is responsible for more cancers especially childhood cancers

This should surprise no one. Big business does it all the time! The cigarette companies did it. Drug companies do it and car companies do it. Greed or the bottom line dictates morality these days. The welfare of the consumer is the last thing 2 be considered!

We need "some" sugar, not the ungodly amounts most of us take in today. Our bodies aren't equipped to handle it.

Obesity related illness are the #1 killer in North America. Alzheimer’s, gout, diabetes, and heart problems are all increased sigh high sugar intake.

Yup. I cut out refined sugar, and my arthritis symptoms all but disappeared and all my numbers (cholesterol, etc.) improved.

Once you cut out extra sugar it becomes nearly unbearable to eat so many mass produced foods. I tried a coke the other day and could not for the life of me figure out how I used to drink something so cloying.
