Up on You tube the latest documentary

The CBC fifth estate looks at how toxic sugar really is, the demented rats swimming in a tub and just as bad the links to cancer, the fact that it drives the insulin which drives the storage of fat until the person becomes diabetic is well known.

    Yeah you lost me at how well-known it is that sugar "causes diabetes". Well, actually you lost me at "toxic sugar", but causes diabetes was the point when I had proof positive that your link was a crock of crap.

    I can sense a new after dinner snack idea (refuses to give up my Greek yogurt for breakfast habits) :bigsmile:

    @Stage14. Im guilty to admit I've never had Frankenberry! Something about chocolate with chocolate which then makes chocolate milk was all I ever wanted in life...

    Because we all know that something is automatically true just because it's on the interwebz ...

    I watched the YouTube video linked above, and I am going to immediately decrease my sugar consumption .. as I think that it has real health implications.

    You guys can joke and make fun of it .. but the science tells me that consuming sugar like most of us do, is not a good idea.

    Thanks for this thread. The 45 min I spent watching the video is time well spent.

    Definitely grab a box to try this season! While I agree that Count Chocula is king, I do love that wacky strawberry cousin of his. Plus, alternating between the two makes them last longer. :)

    You do get that the "science" in the video isn't actual sound science, right? Read the links posted by PP for more info on why this guy is a joke.

    I found two of the old monster cereals at Target: Yummy Mummy and Frute Brute. Soon I will be enjoying orangey and fruity goodness.
