the body needs sugar/glucose to functionThat's true. The body evolved to make most of the glucose it needs from carbohydrate and fat.Until recent times sugar was only available in our diets from eating fruit and certain roots and occasionally honey. It is not adapted to cope with huge quantities of refined sugar poured into it every day.I think we have to read the labels and avoid highly processed foods packed with additives as much as possible. The food processors will only make stuff they can sell in quantity, if we leave it on the shelves they will stop. The public need to be educated, they have been largely failed so far.
The government need to be much more pacific when it comes to nutritional advice.
I was really pleased with myself for eating all the colours of the rainbow, until someone pointed out that I shouldn't include skittles.
