new daily allowance on sugar

we are becoming obsessed over sugar

they will have us eating grass all day long soon

Sugar is a killer ebul.

The piles of crap that is stuffed into our food - even the so called healthy options!!!!

it might be but seriously, they showed a little girl having cereal and a bread thing with chocolate spread on it for breakfast. apparently she had twice the recommended daily sugar intake. in that one meal!

giving this kind of advice cant be a good thing.

people will just think well thats not happening is it, i may as well just eat as much junk as i like and not bother trying to eat sensibly.

one can of pop is now more than a womans rec daily sugar intake. or 4 biscuits. not including any actual meals. its just not vaguely realistic at all. 99% of people will have eaten their daily allowance with their breakfast alone.

we are turning into women

what is the number one thing women worry about
their weight!

I think food is tastier now ....children diets need to be kept balanced
but for adults it is their own decision

this is so simple

eat less
exercise more

neither of which I do, but when we are older it matters little, we are not immortal

true. i eat a lot of crap, but my weight is pretty stable.

the advice is just plain daft imo. people who are obese eat a lot more than the equivalent of 4 biscuits a day in sugar!

saturated fat is the killer

hth

When I was diagnosed as diabetic I joined a healthy eating programme to give me the knowledge to deal with it.
I'm no longer in the diabetic zone as it were die to a combination of exercise and watching what I ate.
One of the eye openers was the long term, and irreversible, damage that sugar can do to your body.

well done akabula
but that was your own choice to deal with it, which of course sensibly you did

What I object to is people blaming food manufactures, alcohol manufactures, tobacco companies
for their own lack of will power
They demand governments should protect us...no they should not
this is an individuals responsibility

One of the basic problems is we live a far more sedentary life style than we used to
and our food is probably tastier

But I still think adults must deal with this themselves, one can offer them support
but no compulsion, and neither does government have any obligation here
these are women's values...which harm us

children are the only exception here

I also have diabetes 2
I have been on the courses...yes a too high sugar level in our blood is not healthy,
and saturated fat prevents our major organs being bale to break down sugar, so of course if remains in our blood stream
twin enemies

but it is still my own responsibility to deal with this, nobody else is to blame, just me

Here's my fatbusting diet plan: don't eat anything that is sold in a plastic container. Job done. Give me my million pounds.
