Sugar, is an important ingredient in numerous recipes. They include cakes, candies, cookies and drinks. Holidays would not be the same without sugar. Who ever heard of a Christmas without candy canes or Halloween with candy. Birthdays without cake or ice cream. Coffee without sugar, okay some people don't take sugar in their coffee but I am not one of them. We have been conditioned since early childhood to eat sweets. From our first animal cookies to our twinkies.
Snickers, Milky Way, Nestles, Butter Finger, all candies that most of us grew up eating. Pixie sticks, fire balls, dots (which by the way you don't see much of anymore) candy necklaces. Snow Cones, Ice Cream Sandwiches, Italian Ices, all contain sugar. What would a day at the game be without a Super Big Gulp, Dr. Pepper, Pepsi, Coke, Sprite, Seven-Up or a large Slurpee.
If you are a diabetic then don't eat any of these things. If you are anyone else, my only caution is don't eat a lot of these things. Every thing in moderation!
