Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nancyclarkrd.com/2018/09/12/the-great-sugar-debate/ Quotes to ponder: "Sugar is not an essential nutrient. Our bodies can make sugar (glucose) from the dietary fat and protein that we eat." "Lack of physical activity, more so than sugar, is the greater threat to our health."
