Trying hard not to swear...........

I ferment mine before consumption

 

"Serene I stumble amidst the flowers......"

Seriously though, the medieval teeth I dig up at work have got no decay on them, only sugars they had were honey & fruit. Lot of wear on them though.

 

Well that's me doomed then (again) and I haven't had sugar in tea or coffee since my first term as a student , when I got fed up of buying it for the whole house.
I am also doomed due to my caffeine intake, my alcohol consumption, my enjoyment of both butter and full fat milk and we'd better not mention the pork dripping, smoked bacon sarnies and the occasional fried slice.
I don't worry too much about these stories anymore as there will be an opposite one from the World Sugar Organisation or such like along in a month or so and I do need to keep the blood pressure down.

 

I agree with everything that's been said but obesity is now a major problem particularly in children. I also eat butter, I drink alcohol and I smoke but I don't consume much sugar so I must be OK!!!

A healthy balanced diet, I love a fried egg sarnie, in lard so the edges go crispy, with jalapeno sauce(the only thing the Americans got right), but only an occasional treat, or a quick supper if too tired to cook.
What is needed is some cookery shows, showing normal everyday cost effective, basic ingredients, not a sea bass or scollop in sight.

 

Well i've got a sweat tooth(sorry sweat teeth) but mine started when i was very young, when mum would make us a cup of tea or coffee it wouldn't be 2 spoonfulls in a cup it would be more like 3 spoonfulls as mum couldn't get any more sugar on the tea spoon and even some sugar would be flying through the air and going into the cup from the sugar bowl so more like 3 and half spoonfulls

 

Jeezzzzzzzzz............................

Here I am thinking that having quit booze and the recreationals all I need to do now to be perfect is to quit the fags. Turns out that I need to give up fruit juice and sugar in my tea and coffee now as well

 

I'll be boring and sad with out any sugar, i'll still keep the sugar and die a happy man

 

When I see the blobbies wandering around the supermarkets I just tend to think,"well done, good to see you are doing your bit for the planet", the more people that die young, the better off the planet will be.
We all have a choice, its not up to the government to dictate to us, although I think its more to do with sounding out public feeling on a sugar tax, in order to make a bit more money.

 

I still say all this 'obesity' business is down to life style in the majority of cases...yes I'll go back in time (luddite) but when I was a nipper we ate three square meals a day,proper cooked dinners.When we came home from school a bag of crisps weren't shuvved in our hands,we'd play out until called in for tea,none of this sat in front of the telly,then if it was summer we'd play out some more until called in for supper...
I was only having this conversation with my Mother the other day actually,as kids we never kept still,always running around and only felt tired at bedtime...
Too much telly,too many computer games and too much junk food...Simples
