Although I consider this as ve...Thank you Stephan,<br /><br />Although I consider this as very worthy subject matter I don't expect people to really fully grok the message. There are a number of reasons for this. One is that many people were not breast fed and instead put on some kind of a "formula" that included sugar. In other words they have been bio-chemically and neurologically wired throughout their most intense developmental years into having a steady intake of sugar as a main stay in their diet. That is only reinforced over the rest of their childhood with virtually all the foods of commerce as nearly everything has sugar as one of the ingredients. About the only way around that is to prepare your own food or scrutinize the ingredients like a detective! <br /><br />I have blogged on this topic:<br />"The Glories of The Renaissance Were Created With An Average Intake Of One Teaspoon of Sugar Per Head Per Year" and have added a link to here.<br /><br />http://www.curezone.org/blogs/fm.asp?i=1454564<br />Chef-doctor Jemichelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391640645108769469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-86833695939533858922014-03-05T11:53:14.542-08:002014-03-05T11:53:14.542-08:00Your assumptions about consumption versus producti...Your assumptions about consumption versus production over estimates production.

It will have to level off at some point because there will be so many people with health problems such as diabetes that it will naturally start go back the other way. Additionally, a certain level of sugar is key to a healthy diet, but I don't see people replacing vegetables with snickers bars at every meal. <br /><br />Christian<br /><a href="http://www.snorepros.com" rel="nofollow">SnorePros.com</a> CRogershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16815211916484558094noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1629175743855013102.post-67239545185584673402012-04-22T06:57:40.475-07:002012-04-22T06:57:40.475-07:00Very sick statistics.

Eye-opening and hopefully enough to motivate everyone to rethink what they allow in their homes, put into their bodies and feed to their families.<br />I think there is a groundswell now and a small but growing awareness that the old food pyramid needs to be turned upside down to some extent. If you can't pick it or kill it, don't eat it. Thanks for the article!Steven A.
