You are more likely to come to a sticky end rather than a bloody one!

Around the world in 2012 620,000 people died from violence.

120,000 died from war.

500,000 died from crime.

 

But in the same year 1,500,000 died from diabetes.

 

Human beings have a liking for sugar. It is because we still have the palate of hunter gatherers. Natural occurring sugar was to be found in fresh ripe fruit and honey. We rarely had enough of it to satisfy. Now we have it refined and added to most of our food, we gorge on sweets and chocolate bars, ice-cream and sweet puddings. Even our savoury food has added sugar. The huge intake of sugar is creating an epidemic of diabetes and obesity.

 

Death is such a sweet thing.

    1. I think you have to take it with a pinch of salt JL. But seriously – sugar is now a major cause of premature death.

  2. Indeed, some form of refined sugar is in all prepared foods – our food supply has been slowly killing us for decades… but we need to outlaw weed because iot might impair us in some way. Insanity!

    1. Yes there is no logic to the way we have our lives controlled. I wish they’d get their act together with health warnings. They confuse people.
