On my cluttered desktop this first week of May (W1 may 2017) you might find an interesting mish mash of things. This week I’m working in the gardens, keeping up with my fitness reading, and working out a knitting pattern for my mother. It certainly is an interesting mix; gardening and fitness roughen up my hands making yarn handling more interesting.<\/p>\n

This advertisement from the 70’s misleads the public into believing sugar is a weight control ingredient, appealing to women. The ice cream in the image is very phallic, which appeals to men. Image via Nerd Fitness<\/p><\/div>\n

One of the first things I’ve had on my desk is fitness reading. This morning I have a really interesting piece by Nerd Fitness regarding hidden sugars in our foods, what to look for, and a few steps to avoid added sugars.<\/p>\n

Michael Pollan, author of the Omnivore\u2019s Dilemma said it succinctly: \u201cEat food, not too much, mostly plants.\u201d<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

That’s excellent advice that is definitely worth following. In the article by Nerd Fitness titled, “That Time I Worked For the Sugar Industry\u2026<\/a>1<\/sup><\/span> a little briefing on sugar history, advertising, and the fleecing of America as it relates to sugar and manipulation.<\/p>\n

Apparently, or so told by NPR as it related to JAMA Internal Medicine<\/a>3<\/sup><\/span>, they report that the sugar industry funded research to say fats were bad and sugar was the good guy. You know what happens when studies are funded by an industry; follow the money for a report slanted toward said company.<\/p>\n

That really burns my biscuits!<\/h4>\n

This era is full of misleading advertisements relating to sugar, some of which suggest weaning babies off breast milk and onto coca cola.<\/p>\n

Nerd Fitness Fitness, and myself, have noticed people who believe they are making an improved choice with fruit smoothies, juice, and water with vitamin. This seems innocent enough until you read labels and realize the healthy alternatives are filled with crack, in the form of sugar.<\/p>\n

“These beverages, despite everything you\u2019re told on their labels and what they advertise, are as bad for you (or worse) than drinking a soda:<\/strong><\/p>\n
