O.K. I have been keeping quiet but I want to refute the stuff about lack of
refined sugar making you feel great.

During the mid-60s when I was a ten year old kid, India had a serious
food-shortage.  Sugar was available only intermittently through the rationing
system and we could not afford the price in the open market.  

Our diet was mainly unleavened bread made of whole wheat flour, lentils and
lots of vegetables( These were really cheap.)  We went for several months at
a time without sugar in any form.  We never ate processed food so we never
got any sugar from that source.  The same story was repeated in 72-73.

I was never hungry at that time.  However I never felt any different
because I did not eat sugar.

I wonder how Mr. Stoll accounts for that?

P.S. A side effect is that I don't like sweets or anything containing a lot of
sugar.  I don't know how to explain this to others but they leave a horrible
aftertaste in my mouth.--
