We are all in a way slaves to a sugar-diet. Today refined sugar is believed to be one of the most harmful. In 1997 the average American ate 27,3 pounds of candy and gum and six regular chocolate bars a week. It is believed that we eat 35 kilos yearly.
Some call refined sugar (white sugar) a drug. The right name is sucrose and is a pure chemical extract from the plant and is more pure than cocaine.
Sugar manufactures are aggressive in defending their product and they have a strong political lobby that makes it possible for them to keep selling this deadly product.
As I told earlier sucrose (white sugar) and cocaine have very similar addictive effect. The chemical The body gets fast energy from sugar. But the energy level last a very short time and is more fooling the body. Sugar is a carbohydrate and contains no fiber, no minerals, no proteins, no fats, no enzymes only empty calories. For the body to be able to metabolize the sugar it need to borrow other substances from the body such as calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium. If too much sugar is eaten the body use so much calcium from that the bones become osteoporotic due to the withdrawn calcium.

The body needs an amount of sugar and fat to get energy from to get us through the day. but too much of anything is never good. You have to keep it in balance. I think if we would know what was in everything we eat, we couldn't eat anymore. As long you don't exagurate with food it will probably not be too harmfull.
