of the so-called “civilized” diseases are pretty rampant in American culture today, and that there isn’t much doubt that certain over-consumption of some foods has contributed to it. It’s just saddening...

Sugar is not inherently unhealthy. A little sugar isn’t going to hurt your kids — it’s the overconsumption of sugary foods (and foods with HFCS) that’s “unhealthy” plus eating...

's industrial manufacturing. I too have a container of Accent in my cupboard. About once every 4 years or so I pull out an ancient Anne Landers meatloaf recipe that requires it. That wouldn’t be overconsumption. While...
