Ah sugar - it seems to be everywhere now. You know sugar is in sweet foods like candy, cookies, chocolate and baked goods. Did you know it’s also in about 80% of the savory foods you see in the grocers? Sugar hides in bread, crackers, cereals, sauces, salad dressings, condiments and so much more. Its highly addictive and a sure fire way to demonize your health.  Avoiding refined sugar is one of the best things we can do to avoid disease.
 
Refined sugar is an anti-nutrient: it starts out as sugar cane, and then goes through an extensive refining process that destroys all of the enzymes, fiber, vitamins and minerals. What you're left with are empty, naked calories also known as nutrient thieves.
