The skinny on sugar
If you're trying to lose weight, you know public enemy numero uno is refined sugar.
Cane, beet, corn syrup, high fructose corn syrup, sucrose, dextrose, they are none of them of any food value. They all raise insulin and convert in the body as stored fat. Too much blood sugar can cause Type 2 diabetes. Sugar-laden carbohydrates constitute the infamous "junk carbs"(not bread or starch that is so often deemed the culprit). Bread with sweeteners and without whole grains or fiber is empty carbs too. But you can't get rid of sugar completely or you could just go crazy with deprivation and cravings.

But taking that out means replacing it with another sweetener becauserefined sugar is so addictive most people can't quit cold turkey. The American diet which offers empty carbs galore, has given people such a taste for sweet and saltythat if it was removed from diets it would drive some mad. There's even a fake sweet-salty additive to amplify cravings further--monosodium glutamate (MSG) and it's in everything.
