I don't have any questions, I just wanted to thank you for bringing life back to me.

I was so sick and now I am feeling as good as I did twenty years ago! It has been a long battle: no energy, aches and pains going from one Dr. to the next. They told me it was anything from arthritis to depression; they had me on steroids for three years... All behind me now!

I just don't know how to thank you. I think it would be wonderful if you could just be everywhere with your caring heart. Information and the real reason behind all of the bad, sick days that so many of us have had.

Sincerely, Jessica...@telusplanet.net

Guidelines For Sugar Intake

The American Heart Association (AHA) has put out exact guidelines on amount of sugar intake daily. Women should take in no more than 100 calories of added sugars per day and men should not consume more than 150 calories. Added sugars contribute to the obesity problem in America and are related with high blood pressure risks, high triglyceride levels, and heart disease and stroke.

Soft drinks contain around 130 calories, which already exceeds the daily limit for women. Soft drinks are the highest source of added sugar in America's diet. The average intake of added sugars for an American is around 355 calories per day, which is three times the normal guidelines provided by AHA.

Sugars like ordinary table sugar and high-fructose corn syrup added to breads, sodas, and other processed foods, increase the calorie consumption and is a big factor in the rise in obesity in America. Therefore, experts advise Americans to follow AHA guidelines and consume less sugar.
