That's just how it goes.<br />But now that I know about my ape ancestors' love of and need for fructose, I'm going to blame my being a sugarphile on my genetic programming going back millions of years.<br /><br />Thanks for this rationale.

The other part of the health puzzle is how much sugar is in all our processed foods that many people eat without knowing it. <br /><br />Next up, salt?

I'm...I'm a sugar producer and proud of it. I'm also not ashamed to say that I have slaves (well over a hundred thousand), and while I don't whip them or cut off their appendages, I do on occasion crush a few. Such is the life of a beekeeper and a grape-grower. Alas, I'm unrepentant in my ways, and happily sip the wine from my grapes while my bees slave away on my bee-half.

Those luscious-looking pastries are so very tempting, and it seems unfair of you to display them in the middle of this condemnation.<br />An added historical note. The Arabs took slaves in East Africa and shipped them to work in the sugar cane plantations in what is now Iraq.<br /><br />And I cannot help wondering, what of the sugars in alcohol? I guess that's another subject.Annamaria Alfierihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12311596277267789834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1990338437877873686.post-21636167042222293702014-08-07T07:38:25.138-04:002014-08-07T07:38:25.138-04:00And I used to think it was nice when folks called ...And I used to think it was nice when folks called me "sweetie."
