Saturday seemed to be about sugar for me! It all started while I was at the gym having a casual conversation with another member. I commented on how I was working through the effects of the extra sugar I had consumed during the holidays. I was stunned when met with opposition on any sort of adverse effects of excessive sugar. I never met anyone who stepped up in defense of sugar before, I was flabbergasted! I assured him that I continue to read the latest studies on diet and health and that excessive sugar does have an adverse effect on the body including increased inflammation.
