Sugar is an ominous and silent killer and it’s everywhere.
It’s frightful discovering how many foods are filled with sugar. Even if you’re avoiding adding sugar to your foods, sugar finds its way into most all packaged foods from yogurt, milk/non-dairy milk, baked goods including most breads, muffins, cookies, cakes, pizza crusts and flatbread, sauces, broths, condiments, dips, crackers, protein bars, nut and seed butters and on and on. Then there is candy and alcohol. Mega sources of sugar.
You’ll find high sugar in endless forms and added sugars in all kinds of beverages from (the not so smart) ’Smart’ waters and sports drinks, coffees, juice shop smoothies, flavored lattes and Chai teas, many tea leaf blends, so-called healthy protein bars, cereals, many North American, Indian, Thai, Chinese and Japanese foods including the perceived healthy sushi. It’s the reason most of us are so addicted. And this drug is legal, available most everywhere and encouraged. Help is needed to beat this addiction and I have it.
