Why avoid sugar when the dietary guidelines say it's OK 'in moderation'?

As Gillespie says in the 'Sweet Poison Quit Plan', it's almost impossible to moderate sensibly your sugar intake if you are sugar addicted.

Saintly people - like my Stewy - can stop at just one square of chocolate. He knows when he's had enough. The rest of us have our appetite control switch blurred by a sugar fog so we just eat and eat and eat.

True sugar addicts have to go 'cold turkey' and give it up.

You can never fully be without sugar. It's naturally in fruit etc However, fructose is added to everything. So, am grateful that his book tells you how to work things out. You can subscribe to his site called something like, "How much sugar?" but I haven't done that yet. First things first!

On Monday, 14th Feb, it's the big day. One calls it being 'sugar aware'.
