The idea behind a little sugar is okay does not advocate eating refined table sugar (SUCROSE) by the spoon full. Rather it is intended that it is okay to eat foods with a little sugar in them. The emphasis is on a little not several spoonfulls on your cereal or in you tea or coffee. Think of it as a condiment and not a food staple.

Table Sugar (SUCROSE) use to be refinded from Sugar Cane. Now about all of it comes from Sugar Beets.

The Fructose found in fruits, corn, and other plants is chemically different than Sucrose. For the last 20 or 30 years High Fructose Corn Syrup, refined and concentrated from sweet corn, has replaced Sucrose in processed foods.

The ability of humans to abuse substances is never ending. To say it's okay to have something does not equate to say it's okay to abuse it.

The title should have been "A View on Sugar and the ADA."
