Sugar is bad in many ways!


Just skimming through these recent articles from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, you would think that refined carbohydrates are associated with:

cancer;

loss of sight (updated 8/10/07...the Modern Forager blog has a good posting about this story); and


increases in the so-called "bad" LDL cholesterol.

Indeed, fructose is presented as a pretty dodgy thing to eat.

It is amazing that we are told to eat so many carbohydrates!
