    Did you know that if you keep taking in oxygen you will eventually die? You'll slowly oxidize. 

    So it just stands to reason that if you stop taking in something else so essential to life, something like sugars (carbohydrates) you die.

    Leave it up the idiot Belgians to come up with the pop health issue de jour . . .

    Years ago but not long ago I learned cancer loves to feed and grow faster and stronger on sugar, honey , corn syrup and other kinds of sugar. This post was edited by Kittigate at October 20, 2017 2:01 AM MDT

    So do all the other cells in your body.

    In fact, your body only "burns" one kind of sugar. the monosaccharide glucose. It breaks all more complex sugars (disaccharides, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides down into glucose before it can use them for "fuel".

    My brain cells like to feed on 'big words' but I avoid that as well because they might become fat cells.

    So you are cautious about its use then  m'dear? Several years ago I was diagnosed as being "pre-diabetic" so I'm very cautious about using it.  I never really ate a lot of sugary things. I prefer the salty crunchy stuff. My doctor said that as you get older some people's ability to metabolize sugar isn't as good as it was when they were younger. So being pre-diabetic isn't due to my overdosing on sugar so much as that I'm getting older and different things are working less efficiently. Thank you for your reply Kg and Happy Friday to thee! :)
