    I had no idea I was consuming so much….

  4. This article is very misleading. An average person cannot function on 25 grams of sugar per day. Most health expert agree that around 60 percent of your calories should come from carbohydrates (this includes refined sugar such as table surgar, HFCS and complex carbs such as potatoes, fruits,grains etc). If this is the case, for average man needing 2000 calories per day, this mean he needs around 300 grams of carbohydrates. Remember, complex carbs will break down to simple sugar glucose which our body needs to function in its biochemistry. It is estimated that our brain needs around 10 percent of daily caloric intake to function properly… which means that around 200 calories from glucose is needed. This amount itself is 50 grams of sugar! When writing an article such as this, more background information should be presented to be fair and balanced.

    p.s. HFCS = evil.

      Rich, processed sugars are a not necessary in an optimum diet. HFCS is full of mercury, and processed sugar is depleted of all nutrients.

      1. I am not advocating refined sugar for consumption. I am just pointing out the wrong information in the article.

        Processed sugar by definition is just that, sugar. sugar is also by definition a nutrient, one of the 3 MACRO nutrients that is needed by the body everyday. (Carbohydrates, proteins, and fats). If you are referring to other micronutrients such trace minerals, vitamins and phytonutrients, then yes, processed sugar lacks those. But you still need sugar.

        And HFCS is NOT full of mercury, ONLY if they are contaminated.

    2. 300 grams of sugar is at least 2700 calories.

      And we don't need everyday a carbohydrates fully diet.

      From excessery carohydrats comes to much fat and colesterol( bad one) being produced.

      We really don't need sweets as it is today consumed .

      Sometimes once in the month it is just a pleasure but never a necessity . From daily bread, potatos , other vegetables and fruits we take more than enough carbohydrates.

      Never get addcited to sugar products. Never.

      Coca-cola and Pepsicola are the worst drinks you can drink.

      Fresh , everything fresh will be the best !

      But where could be found today !

  5. This title is misleading. Sugar in raw organic form doe snot cause cancer. I don't eat any of that crap you talk about. Eat an organic diet of free range meat, raw dairy, vegetables and fruits, and make things from scratch, using only raw organic sugar.

    1. Raw foods have nutrients and naturally-occurring sugars that aid the body. I believe this article is talking about excessive amounts of sugar through processed foods and other junk.

      Great points though Chuck. Raw for life.
