SUGAR, AH, SUGAR, SUGAR!!

I was going to title it some other word for sugar, but couldn't find one.  Though I did find a lot of things that is called or use sugar!  A LOT!!!  I suggest you look up words for sugar and see what I found.

I like to watch Sugar movies.  That Sugar Film, Sweet Suicide, Sugar Coated, Fed Up, The Secrets of Sugar, even W5 had a show on Sugar. There are more I'm sure.  Just looking up for this blog I found a few I didn't watch, and those I have not listed.   I find them all interesting and insightful.  Each time we watch, at the end, I turn to AJ and say we aren't eating any sugar!  Do you know how much sugar there is in things?  All the names for sugar.  (not the same list as the above words for sugar)  It amazes me that so many foods need sugar in them - NOT. The companies put in the sugar - to get us to that sweet addiction.  Which makes getting off the white crack train all that much harder.  Yes, sugar is just like crack.  Apparently heroin and food hit the same spot in the brain.  (ok, I'm probably not exact on my drugs but I know it was some drug and food along that line).

I also heard on how when they study cancer, they use sugar to grow it.  (I'm not saying those who eat sugar get cancer or vice versa!  I'm no medical expert - or any type of medical person!  I'm just blogging on what I've read/heard)  I've also read that in the 1900's diabetic people were advised they were not to eat any form of sugar and very low carbs.  Then the Sugar Association in the 1920's or 30's sponsored diabetic cookbooks and SUDDENLY there was sugar in the recipes. Big companies.... I'm just saying.  Hopefully my little blog will not be attacked by them!

I looked up carbohydrate movies and really only found two:  Carb-Loaded, and Low Carb Diet;  Fact or Fiction.  Not sure what the second one is about, if it is for or against it.  I will need to watch them.

Either way, they are great to help me remember why I don't want to eat sugar and carbs, so I will watch them again and again.  Good movies to curl up with AJ, Jax and... a glass of water!  :)
