The food industry is showering us with more Sugar than at any time in history. They load Sugar into packaged foods on purpose to make us sickly & addicted. They push sugary drinks on us. It is SHOCKING how much artificial Sugar people eat, last I heard about 150+ lbs per year!
The solution is a strict Paleo Diet, no soda pop, In days of old, it was real sugar, not the artificial crap they use today.
