I think that most people can handle a moderate amount of sugar (especially if they exercise). The biggest problem with HFCS is that it's so cheap that drink cups became bigger and bigger and it got added to just about everything in the store.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02700614225224691712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4520412246310459623.post-51160498262294100782014-06-14T08:24:02.029-04:002014-06-14T08:24:02.029-04:00I've often thought the same thing about medica...I've often thought the same thing about medication for depression and/or anxiety. Lifestyle changes could very well treat them better than a pharmaceutical, with no side effects. Think about that - no side effects! Only good ones!<br /><br />(Which is not in any way to suggest that people with those conditions shouldn't seek treatment, no doubt there are situations where a medication is the best solution and it's not for me to judge)<br /><br />Lifestyle changes ARE hard, as I can attest whenever I try to improve my life. But definitely there's a sort of threshold to get over, where you just can't envision that one CAN live that way. Try it out and discover it's entirely possible, and that in fact millions and millions of people live/have lived that way since the beginning of time and it worked out quite well for them :-)<br /><br />It's simply difficult for us to envision or believe in something we haven't experienced. You and I are old enough that we remember life without video games or the internet, when we literally <i>walked</i> to a library to get books made out of paper, when fast food and convenience food were rare, etc. So we're familiar with those concepts - but the generations younger than us don't have any experience with that, and to them it's like us hearing about how our grandparents walked 5 miles in the snow uphill. People don't voluntarily elect to make their lives harder; we didn't hear those stories and decide to incorporate those hardships into our own lives. I guess we need to redefine what constitutes a hardship...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
