[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes. Everything in moderation.[/quote]
Only if you aren’t a sugar addict, right?

You don’t tell an alcoholic to have some wine in moderation, do you?[/quote]

DP, but I would yes. 
Abstaining from something is a sign of weakness, saying you cannot control your urges, so it's good for someone to confront it and learn to moderate it. That's better than just avoiding it. [/quote]

DP: I suggest you read up on the studies about actual sugar addiction. Sugar acts on the same brain receptors as heroin, so if you are susceptible, this is bad. It's like saying to an addict, have a little heroin in moderation, it'll be fine![/quote]

I mean conflating heroin and sugar is a choice.  Avoiding all sugar ever isn't possible, it simply isn't.  Learning moderation and addressing it with a doctor  if possible is the appropriate response to a sugar addiction, if someone is truly that level of addicted.[/quote]

If you make your own meals, it is very possible to avoid all added sugars.  You can get all your carbs from healthy sources---fruits and veggies.  You don't need to add sugar to anything.  Fruit can sweeten a smoothie--nothing else needed.  
Once you do that, when you eat out you notice sugar is in all the dressings/sauces---your body really notices it once you are not addicted to it.  And you actually crave NOT having the sugary stuff once your body adjusts.

^ This is not the PP. I wouldn't say stuff like that. :D And all carbs = sugar. Sucrose is what this ^ poster is on about. [/quote]
