Toxic

It may seem a harsh way to describe a naturally occurring substance that is after all an important part of the human diet, but the truth is we are now at the point with sugar that we were many decades ago with tobacco.

There was a time when it too was not viewed as toxic. The only difference between the two as far as I can tell is that there is a safe limit to the amount of sugar we can have and indeed require in our diet.

Highly processed, highly addictive and everywhere, the supermarkets are wall to wall with hundreds of thousands of products, and about eighty percent is processed with added sugar.

It’s not just the obvious things like candy or the rows of sugary drinks. Breakfast cereal is better suited to the confectionary section, kids’ cereal with smiling, happy, fun characters that contain more sugar than chocolate cake.

‘Diet’, ‘Low Fat’ options to appeal to those wanting a healthy choice yet contain FOUR teaspoons of sugar per thirty gram serving. That’s well over half the recommended daily allowance on what is being touted as a ‘healthy option’.

We are being sold the idea that fat is the enemy, therefore slogans and sales pitches that proclaim ‘Fat Free’ are seen by people as a better choice, especially by those that are trying to lose weight.

The thing is that ‘Fat Free’ almost always means ‘High Sugar’ when it comes to processed food.

That kilogram of candy I mentioned before is of course one hundred per cent fat free. But does that mean someone who ate that everyday would not get fat?
