Friday Funny: Sugar is Killing Us (or maybe not so funny?)

It’s no secret, I’ve been trying to cut sugar (particularly fructose) out of my and my families diets. It’s a challenge! Sugar, or more specifically high fructose corn syrup, is in most everything you buy packaged at the store. You think you’re eating a healthy diet including foods like yogurt, marinara sauce, salad dressing, and deli turkey…then you check the label. High fructose corn syrup in every one!

This is one of the reasons we’ve been trying to focus on a whole foods diet: meat, vegetables, and a little bit of fruit (not so much for mamma though, she doesn’t need the insulin spike from the fructose in fruit). This video illustrates some of these points in a fairly comical way. Have a great weekend!

Sugar is Killing Us

  1. Thanks for the video! I’m glad you are tackling the sugar issue this month. While I’ve cut white sugar and HFCS for quite awhile, and I use stevia in liquids, I’m still hooked and needing to cut it all out.

      I have found that even the natural sugar in fruits can give me cravings. Focusing on the lower sugar fruits like blueberries and strawberries has been better for me in trying to cut sugar.
