What's the deal with sugar?

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...?

sugar keeps surprizing me with new ways to do harm to your body. i always say if 1 person can have a bad reaction it might not be as good we think for us. lots of people get diabetes and thats not the people with something wrong its the sugar and those people should be a warning to us sugar dosnt mix in our bodies. sugar makes kids jump from wall to wall that proves we dont need that much energy and there are other ways to get it. they should make it more clear what your buying and what it does. they like to trick you by putting the least ingredient on the cover of the product so you think its got lots of it but when you turn it over youll see it barely even contains that ingredient. if sugars in the first 5 ingredients avoid it.
