Would you check out my sources?  If you did would you give them any credibility
(they aren't AMA approved [blessed])?  The subject of sugar is almost a
non-subject in the natural health field, you don't put any of it in a refined
state into your body!  I'll give you the name of two of my favorite books on
the subject: "Body, Mind, & Sugar" by E.M. Abrahamson,M.D. and "Sugar Blues".
However, if you enter any "good" health food store you should have no trouble
finding many books on the subject.  If you feel bad about going into a health
food store then find a naturalpathic doctor and ask them for a reference.

Want more information?  Find your closest chapter of the Natural Foods
Association (NFA) and ask where you can go to lectures or talks on health where
sugar might become a topic.  I am big into herbs, once a month we go to a
meeting where a medical herbalist carries on a lecture/disscusion group and
sometimes sugar is made a subject, with others relating real-life experiences. 

Lack of proof is a bad excuse for using sugar.  It has the value to life of
cigarettes and illegal drugs.  It has no positive effects.  So why use it?
Reference another book "Fighting The Food Giants" by Paul Stitt.  This subject
is outside this news group unless the politics of the medical industry is to be
considered.
