'Tis the Season for Sugar


Is sugar toxic? It is when you consider the levels the average American swallows each year—a whopping 130 pounds of added sugars ingested annually. That's about 22 teaspoons a day.  It's the added sugars that are affecting your body in all sorts of strange ways.

Just look at the list of ingredients above (or below) for this holiday frosting.  

Ingredients: Sugar, Partially Hydrogenated Soybean and Cottonseed Oils, Water, Corn Syrup, Corn Starch, Contains 2% or less of: Salt, Artificial Color(Including Yellow 5, Blue 1 and Red 40), Artificial Flavor, Modified Cornstarch, Mono and Diglycerides, Polysorbate 60, Potassium Sorbate and Sodium Benzoate (preservatives), Soy Lethicin, Citric Acid - must I go on for the ingredients in the candy bits?

Not one of these ingredients except the water is beneficial to your health.

Simple Sugar Tip:  Read the ingredient list.  Food colorings cause hyperactivity in children. Processed oils wreak havoc on your digestive system and your arteries.  Last but not least, preservatives - this product expires in 2015.
