Here is the reason why not. If you have a weight problem then you should not eat sugar being over weight leads to diabetes and heart trouble and heart attacks. No matter what anyone tells you sugar makes you FAT!!! If you like to be fat then sugar is where it's at. I do not mean some man who is and has always been skinny all his life and he says I eat sugar and it doesn't make me fat. well we are not interested in whether it makes him fat. It does make most people fat and women even more so. sugar is addicting just like cigs or alcohol. You also get a thing called a sugar high when you eat it and it gives you wonderful energy for a little bit then it is gone. It also relieves depression in the same way for a little while. Beware of sugar it is not good for you and do not eat those cancer causing sweeteners like aspartame and equal. to stay thin an healty do not I say do not eat any sugar at all read labels make sure.
