Sugar is not that bad for you. Come on! As long as you take everything in 
moderation, you have nothing to worry about. It is one's attitude towards food
that causes one to over indulge. Sugar can make the attitude show on one's body
faster than many other foods, but there are other things one can eat to make
one get bigger as well. The point is : sugar is not inherently icky or
unhealthful unless you happen to be hypoglycemic or diabetic. It is not a
cancer causing agent (as far as science knows now) and is, in my opinion, safer
to take and tastier than any of that dubious artificial crap that we have been
conditioned into desiring.
