I found a few sites today on sugar...I was stunned! (I shouldn't have been.)
Make sure you know what you are eating. As a new mom, I am constantly
thinking about how my husband and I are going to raise Elina. This is a
bid thing. We have chosen to not allow her to consume sugar for...a long
time. :) Looking at these sites today only more solidified this feeling.
We are living in a continually growing nation. I don't going in numbers,
but weight.The U.S.weighs in at #9, with 74.1% of those over 15 years
old considered overweight.Just walk down the street, and you can see
it! No doubt in my mind that sugar play a MAJOR role in this. So As a
mother I will not allow Elina to harm her body in this way.
I have posted one of the sites in my sites list on the right. I challenge you
to take a look at the site, and see just what you are allowing into your body.
