Sugar is evil

So after a fairly challenging first trimester (I didn't deal with the all day morning sickness too well), I'm feeling really great.  And I have been for the past few weeks.  I"m starting really bond with my little one.  AND I've actually started to feel her/him kick.  SHe's one tough cookie.  No light taps here, just really strong definite kicks.  Being that I'm feeling so  much better, I"m back on my "Sugar/high fructose syrup" is evil kick.

I found this great post:

Read the whole thing, if you like, but the meat of it starts about a quarter of the way down the page where the video of Lustig's lecture is.  This basically summarizes it, for those who don't have time to watch the whole thing.  I watched the whole thing over a year ago(and was gushing about it), and I think it is wonderfully intriguing. I don't necessarily agree with the author's view point on NO MEAT, but no sugar is a FOR SURE thing.  That's the common thread between the Paleo, Raw Food movement, and all the diets that seem to be giving people the greatest results.  This is the LACK OF SUGAR.  This stuff is poison, and I don't think that's an exaggeration.

If you reduce the rate of carbohydrate absorption in your gut by eating a high fiber diet--the bacteria will get to it.  Which means, in life you have just two choices:  It's fart or be fat.  The decision is yours!

The funny thing is that sugar makes me WAY more gassy than fiber ever has.   Any which way, farts are ALWAYS funny!! Be healthy and FART ON FRIENDS!

Let me know what you think!
