	Currently there is no evidence that links sugar directly to
   obesity or heart disease.  In fact, the only conclusive evidence
   on the affects of sugar to the human body, is that it aids (causes?)
   tooth decay.
	Just for a side note, I believe that sugar has 16 calories to
   the teaspoon.  With that in mind, it might be worth those extra
   calories to avoid some of the artifical sweetners, that seem to be
   a little more questionable. 
	If you are worried about heart disease, remember that ice 
   cream is not a threat due to its sugar, but rather to its fat
   content.
