This excellent NY Times Magazine article offers lots of food for thought--no pun intended. It's long and pretty detailed, but definitely worth the read for nutrition and wellness reasons.

    Haven't read it yet but my guess is could be. I have Fibromyalgia and decided to change my bad eating habits and exercise rather than take an expensive pill (it worked!!). If I overload on sugar - mainly refined or added sugar and we're talking 100g or more in a day - my all over pain will come back for a couple of days.

    It can also contribute to Chronic Fatigue and Candida Overgrowth.

    I think it has more to do with how much sugar you get rather than sugar in general.
