So, why should we avoid sugar?
How much is “too much” sugar? Traditionally, the World Health Organization (WHO) recommended getting no more than 10 per cent of our daily calorific intake from sugar. However, an update to its guidelines in 2015 saw them half that recommendation to 5 per cent - equating to around 25 grams, or six teaspoons, of sugar a day.

By the 1960s, it was pretty obvious that sugar contributed to health problems.
Several studies had already been published suggesting that excess sugar consumption was a major cause of coronary heart disease. This was a problem for the Sugar Research Foundation— an industry group dedicated to promoting the consumption of sugar. The organization decided to fund its own ‘studies’ meant to discredit all the other research saying that sugar was bad.
In fact, the Sugar Research Foundation directed its funding on studies which exonerated sugar and instead blamed fat for people’s poor health. For one study that was conducted in 1967, for example, the Sugar... |

05/06/2021 - Contemplation of changes
This is about changes. We have definitively crossed a red line. We are changing too much and too fast. But first three absolute true statements:
1. Evolution of nature is slow (in relation to our modern rhythm).
2. Technological development is fast.
3. Government power is always transitory.
2. The progress of human technology has always been fast in relation to the present conditions. After the World got connected by a World Wide Web, www, the changes have accelerated. We should not expect the creation of similar inventions at the same moment from remote locals. The contributions... |
