    Thats a lot of sugar however, even those responsible to bring light to this indulgence, should also be held accountable, why now what about prior to more healt scares. The media was ill equipped to cause systemic change

    Sugar’s not even good for you!  That’s why the body produces insulin to COMBAT it.  Jimminie Cricket!  And don’t get me started on that NEURO TOXIN high fructose corn syrup!
