The enemy is processed sugar - in fact, if sugar were to be introduced into the marketplace today, it would need to be classified as a pharmaceutical, because it is crystalline pure and has addictive properties. The process to turn the beet or the cane into sugar mirrors the process to turn poppies into heroine. <br /><br />That said, I agree that government intervention will be just as useless or detrimental here as anywhere else - the solution lies in common sense and proper education. <br /><br />Additionally, the principles surrounding processed sugar can be applied universally - the further removed the food from its natural state, the more useless and/or toxic it becomes.

It is grounded down (often GMO treated) corn substitute.<br />One example: that is why so many of their major soda pop brands, temporarily issue Kosher versions each year - with actual sugar.<br />Some of Canada's long standing food approval rules, including dairy products, haven't been identically altered so far.CQhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14812751573047844045noreply@blogger.com
