Sugar…evil or not?

There has been an interesting debate going on in the papers recently about sugar. This first article written last week in the New York Times is titled:

IS SUGAR TOXIC?

Another article with similar thoughts from the Atlantic wire titled:

THE CASE AGAINST SUGAR (AND ITS LOBBYISTS

However, not everyone seems to think sugar is bad for you. The Huffinton post ran an article today called SUGAR ISN’T EVIL: A REBUTTAL.

I personally have some strong feelings about an excess of sugar, but I think it’s important to see all sides of the coin and make educated decisions. Enjoy the reads!
