More about sugar

Here are my last three entries on Facebook.
I have been in a lifelong struggle with obesity. Last night 60 minutes had a report on sugar. Studies have been done that show that sugar causes obesity, heart disease, childhood obesity, diabetes and even some kinds of cancers. It seems that cancer cells have insulin receptors and just pull that sugar into the cells and grow like crazy. A huge light bulb went on in my head! As Desi Arnes would say, That 'splains' everything!!!!
One teaspoon of granulated white sugar is equal to about 4.2 grams. If you are buying a bottle of cola with 44 grams of sugar, you would divide 44 by 4.2 which is equal to 10 teaspoons of sugar. 

As I switched to a weight loss diet, I have been getting as much sugar out as possible. In effect I have been slowly weaning myself off over the last week. Im no longer craving sugar. I realize that Im a sugar addict. Many people are. If I have sweets in the house, cookies, cakes, ice cream, (all low fat of course) I can't stop thinking about them, even if I limit myself to one serving a day. 
I feel like I have been freed.
