There is a fascinating article about sugar in the August issue of the National Geographic magazine. It tells of the history of sugar and that the amount many consume is toxic. Richard Johnson, a nephrologist at the University of Colorado has noted..." It seems like every time I study an illness and trace a path to the first cause, I find my way back to sugar."
It's hard to believe that the average American consumes more than 22 teaspoons of added sugar a day!
Here's the link to this very informative article. http://ngm.nationalgeographic.com/2013/08/sugar/cohen-text
Hope you have a great last week of summer! Be sure to check back later in the week for some ideas of healthy snacks to pack in school lunches.
Blessings,
