Do you think the Government should play a part in prohibiting the amount of sugar that's 'hidden' in processed foods? Perhaps imposing a tax on sugar? Do you think more education should be given on the dangers of excess sugar intake? Have you cut out sugar in the past and noticed a difference in your health and weight? Do you have a sugar substitute? Or do you simply not care...?

used to take 2 spoons of sugar in tea and coffee but as I have 11 cups a day decided to reduce sugar, now take none. Tea and coffee taste better, especially tea. I too could once eat anything without gaining weight but as middle age passes that no longer applies
