9/18/12 SUGAR HIGH?? pr


Here is the SUGAR HIGH out again and again!  In a large nutshell: in 1966, we ate 113 lbs of sugar.  The last count in 2010 is 132 lbs of sugar.  From 1960, the amount of obese people was 12.8% and in 2010, the amount almost tripled to 35%.  This is not because we are all bad!  It is because there is so much added sugar in foods we think are safe.  We do not thing of all the sugars in coleslaw, low-fat yogurt with fruit, 2 tablespoons of jam or preserves one cup of tomato sauce, even two tablespoons of ketchup.  Perhaps the best thing to do is keep a daily sugar diary or journal.  In plain English, just write it down for your own knowledge and see how you can go from your new knowledge of your sugar high to your well high. Gee! I am going to start that today! Hugs,phyllis 05/06/1933       www.women70andover.com
