Reducing sugar in packaged foods can prevent disease in millions
The nice thing about reducing sugar is that after a while your taste buds realize how <i>insanely</i> over-sweetened many products are in the US.<p>My current favorite example is bottled teas. When I was a kid I remember drinking Snapple, now I can't understand how I ever downed that stuff, it's like drinking syrup. If I'm lazy I'll get a bottle of unsweetened tea and mix it about 4-1 with sweetened tea. I get something that has a pleasant, natural, gently sweet taste, and even if I drink 3 of these a day I'm still getting a lot less sugar than a single glass of fully sweetened tea.
