Health Note - Making Ourselves Stupid

 Beloved, 
I wish above all things that thou mayest... be in health....
3 John 1:2
 
"Eating too much refined sugar–which is found in most sweets, sodas, white breads, and pastas, virtually all “fat free” and “low fat” snacks, fruit juices, yogurts, energy drinks, sauces (ketchup, BBQ sauces, mayo, pasta sauces), and countless other packaged foods–has now been shown to 
--make us cranky
--and make us stupid
 
The American Heart Association says men should eat no more than
37.5 grams of sugar a day and women should eat no more than 25 grams. But the World Health Organization now says even those allowances are too high, suggesting both men and women should eat 25 grams or fewer each day. The average American currently eats 126 grams of sugar a day–though most don’t realize it."
