Sugar Isn't the Problem- Too Much Is

[Dan Defigio]

One of the biggest nutrition myths I hear is, "I have to give up sugar to be healthy."

The truth is, you don't.

An occasional dessert or slice of cake isn't what causes most health problems. It's the added sugar that quietly builds up from soft drinks, snacks, cereals, and processed foods over time.

Rather than trying to eliminate sugar completely, focus on eating more whole foods, drinking more water, and keeping treats as occasional treats.

Healthy eating isn't about perfection- it's about making good choices consistently. Small habits, repeated every day, will always beat extreme diets.

I mean this is kind of obvious. No matter how good something is for you, too much of it will kill you. Even water.

It's near impossible to completely avoid it

Honey is the best sugar. But you can just assume everything at the grocery store is fake, as in it has cheaper sugars mixed into it to make it more profitable. Real honey comes from bee keepers, and even then, a lot depends on what the bees have to work with. If all you can see is soybeans in every direction, that's the nectar in the local honey. Health wise, the best honey comes from areas with a lot of biological diversity, like national forests and wildlife preserves. The swamp around Tupelo, Mississippi makes some famous honey.
