We all know that sugar is bad for you as we all know smoking
is bad for you but people still consume sugar and still smoke.
I won’t bore you with all the facts but I assume you are
aware that sugar is responsible for a good percentage of all cancers, diabetes,
dementia, obesity and obviously tooth decay.
I start thinking that there is something like a sugar
conspiracy. Imagine this...since you are a kid you grow up with the idea of
candy as a reward. You have behaved well so you get a lollipop, you have a
birthday party and there are plenty of sweet treats to choose from. Growing up,
you are given heart shaped chocolates by your boyfriend and as an adult; you
receive boxes of expensive handmade truffles from your business partners. If
you think about it, there isn't a celebration where sweets aren't somehow
involved.
You go to the cinema and along with your ticket you buy
popcorn, chocolates or ice-cream. You are out for dinner and you have a three
course meal that involves dessert. You spend Easter and Christmas with your
family where you will share a huge variety of traditional desserts.
If you walk into the tinniest petrol station shop, you might
not find anything proper to eat but i am sure they will sell chocolate bars.
We have taken for granted that sugar is in our lives to
stay, it is definitely addictive but thinking about the bigger picture do you
really want to give up your health for something that gives you instant reward
but a possible lifetime of pain and disease?
If you really feel like something sweet at least choose the
freshly baked option and preferably organic or made with fine ingredients, it
will not only taste better but will also feel special and with that in mind
suddenly the vending machine doesn't sound that appealing.
Like anything in life, moderation is the key, unless we are
talking about kisses, there’s never a limit for kisses or hugs.
