Editor;
Re: Sugar is not so bad (PM – Mailbag Friday, 29 November 2013) – I almost want to apologize for starting this conversation a few weeks ago with my post about vegetarianism.
I think everyone here is right and everyone is wrong. The correct answer is moderation and balance. Anyone who believes that the best diet is all of something or none of something else is getting it wrong.
There was a “meat only” diet a few years ago that people used to lose a lot of weight. But it you looked at the books promoting it, they listed all the supplements you had to take. Same with most books promoting vegetarianism. They tell you it’s great, then tell you what vitamins or other supplements you need to take. You cannot have a diet without sugar. Sugar occurs naturally in nearly all foods, including fruits and vegetables.
Moderation. Balance. The only answers.
