Should Sugar Be Outlawed


I've heard about the evils of refined sugar for many years, but I've never made the connection like I did when I listened to psychology professor Susan Peirce Thompson talk about how heroine and cocaine are made. It's the same process.  The essence of a plant is refined into a powdery white substance. It's the same process! 

Why has that never soaked in before? More proof that when the student is ready, the teacher appears! 

No wonder it has been so hard to stop eating sweets and why the cakes my husband brings home from the bakery outlet down the road seem to be calling my name. 

It does make me wonder how one drug is used in nearly everything we eat and the other similar drugs get the dealer locked away in prison for many years. Could it be, dare I say it... MONEY?!!! 

Our brain cells are being high jacked for profit. I don't know about you, but it's unacceptable to me. The price of eating sugar is way too high. It costs us quality of life. Sugar may not be outlawed in society, but it is to me. I'm beyond tired of letting this drug control my life.
