I have sugar in the cupboard somewhere but rarely use it. Given the option I buy sugar-free so about the only sugar I eat is the stealth variety.

On checking, I see my bran flakes have 6 grams per serving, lite yogurt has 8 grams, and I'm sure my apple muffin mix has some.

I don't use sugar substitutes except those that are already in diet sodas, etc.

If offered a glazed donut...I'll gladly accept :)

It's all about balance......

It's hard to imagine cutting ALL sugar out of your diet. What, never eat fruit again? etc. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Mar 5, 09:46 3
- They usually "added sugar," so what occurs naturally is fine. The real problem is processed/packaged foods. The thing is, it's so easy to *cut back* - mara Mar 5, 09:49 2
  - Exactly. I (try to) eat a lot of fruit but nothing with 'added sugar.' -- nm - MojaveMeg Mar 5, 10:09
  - if anything, our bodies *love* to process it. they're built for it. (that's part of the problem :) ) -- nm - Beryllium Mar 5, 09:50
