5.1.13. sugar day.

So... due to my boredom and amount of free time i have when i'm traveling and sitting in an airport i tend to google things and therefore i started reading different blogs on sugar... i found one in particular that i loved about a woman who had gone without refined sugar for 4 years (myyearwithout.blogspot.com). She posted the video below from a 60 minutes segment on sugar. I highly suggest you watch even a minute of it and listen to the reaction from the Sugar Association (embarrassing)

some facts:

Americans on average consume 1/3 of a pound of sugar a day.  However, if i said that Americans on average consume 1/3 of a pound of fat a day you would've puked. Sad, because ya know, its pretty much the same darn thing. In the words of Alisha Meek, my make up artist last week, 'white bread is recognized by the body as sugar which turns into fat which just gives you a fat a$$'; she is so wise.

So as of today, for one year, i'm saying goodbye to refined sugars and saying hello to...
unrefined sugars (in moderation). Why? Because i seriously doubt that at any point in life i'm going to want cancer, diabetes, or a fat a$$. i'm still going to eat dessert... hello... i'm human... but i'll stick to honey, date sugar, honey granules, or maple syrup.

5.1.13.
