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...?

definitely agree something should be done with the amount of childhood diabetes and overall obesity levels in Australia - and like many of you who have commented I am also lucky with my weight/health and can eat anything I like and get away with it :) There's always honey, but that can affect cholesterol levels, so what do you do in the long run??? Abstain, pig out or eat a bit of everything in moderation................
