I cut my sugar intake by 80% now everything is way too sweet. I have to add water to juice to drink it. Soda is totally out the question. My glucose levels have always been normal

Thinking about cutting out the sugary stuff im used to makes me wanna cry… but i feel like i need to because ik its inflaming my muscles. It really is an addiction

This makes it all the more ironic TV banned cigarette advertising 50 years ago while doubling down on ads for sugar and beer.

Sugar is in everything either directly or indirectly

Wow actual decent health advice shown by mainstream media...too bad the commercials then probably cut to big pharma drugs, sodas, and cereals.

Sugar is addictive. I hope i will live longer.

People play like sugar isn't highly addictive, but fMRI scans show that sugar produces *500 percent* the addiction response in the brains of obsese people that cocaine produces in cocaine addicts. That's WILD, and also true.
