Sugar, that staple of our modern diet is actually a very toxic substance. Who would have thought? Isn’t it one of the major food groups? Lets see, there is meat, vegetables, fruit, dairy and sugar. I’m pretty sure it goes like that. A popular New York Times article – Is Sugar Toxic? is presenting a totally new, and out of left field revelation to many people. It suggests that
What a novel thought, that putting sugar on your “Capt’n Crunch” cereal may not be a good idea. I can remember as a kid eating this and other sugar enhanced cereals and adding sugar to it just to make sure it stayed sweet until the end. And then you got to drink the left over milk from the bottom of the bowl and man, what a sugar rush that would be. Woo Hoo!
And now some upstart has come along to say that sugar may not be good for me? Excuse Me! I was raised on sugar, it is what gave me energy, right? That’s what it said on the sugar containers, that’s what we believed.
So listen up. If you actually believe that sugar is good for you, it is time to get a reality check. The days of Father Knows Best and Leave It To Beaver are gone. We know a lot more about such things as the carcinogenic effects of cigarettes, and the price we pay for a high sugar diet.
And in fact, not only is sugar toxic, but it comes to us in so many disguised forms that it is a shock to most people when they find out the awful truth. From diabetes, to tooth decay to obesity and so much more, there is no excuse not to be informed.

Hi Tony,
What about soya sauce? Is that bad for me?
Lately, I’ve been eating sushi for lunch since it’s easy on my stomach. I particularly like the California rolls with crab meat (avocado, carrots, crab meat, white or brown rice, seaweed) which I eat with ginger and soya sauce mixed with wasabi (horse radish).
Today, someone told me that soya sauce is made from pickled soybeans and may not be good for me because it’s too salty. I try to avoid salt by using herbs and spices when I cook.
Any thoughts on soya sauce?
The only thing I would caution about Soya Sauce is that there may be flour and hence gluten in it. You can buy wheat free soya sauce.
