Sugar!!

Greetings Healthy, Happy Friends!

I recognize that this week’s topic might be a bit unpopular with some, but for many health practitioners, “sugar has become the new tobacco.”

Following are three articles from my favorite website/information source (MDA), in chronological order – 2010, 2015, & 2017.

As many of you likely know already, sugar is “hiding” in so many food products, especially processed items and various forms of sugar are often used in cooking in many countries (including Thailand, for sure) – adding that little bit of sweet flavor everybody craves. One interesting statement I heard recently – “the more glucose a person ingests over a lifetime, the shorter the healthspan/lifespan” – and the less healthy quality of life, obviously. In my current aging years, I am consciously endeavoring to be aware of all types of my own sugar/glucose consumption.

Please feel free to send any questions or thoughts regarding sugar intake.
Hope you have a wonderful, healthy & happy weekend!
