Yep, the world has enough diabetics as it is. No wait, that didn't sound right. There are too many people suffering from diabetes as it is, and all of the co-morbid problems associated with such, like heart disease, kidney disease, blindness, loss of limbs, etc, etc, etc. A little sugar is good, a lot is not. Sugar is a treat, not a food group, or rather, it's not supposed to be. I mean, they sweeten everything these days--even salad dressing and lunch meat. I heard that beet sugar is grown from GMO beets but not sure if it's true b/c I haven't checked it out for myself. I buy cane and try not to use too much.
People use way too much sugar in cooking too. Just the other day I was at my boyfriends' parents' house and his father made some salsa. He put sugar AND agave nectar in it. Why? To "cut the heat" from the chilis in the salsa. There are other ways to do that...such as add more tomatoes and onions. Or use fewer chilis next time.
