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 if I was a health minister I will do what ever it take to re-educate people about the danger of that sweet poison call white sugar.Prevention is better than cure its not fun when you have your love one who is battling this disease and the pressure that we put on our hospital when we could have prevent it.I rather scarify myself than suffering for the rest of my life.Our health is our wealth if we don't take care of it we will loose it and its only then we will realize what we have lost and yet its our choice
Why allowing people to eat the wrong food or drink the wrong drink then we have to find million to fix the problem that's crazy stop it before its spread.
