Default Re: New Dietary Guidelines Will Likely Wimp Out on Sugar Issue

If they think that is going to help stop/slow the ever expanding waistlines and stop/slow the diabetes trend--tehya re sorrily wrong! There is a difference between natural sugar and added sugars--I bet soft drinks would be undrinkable without sweetner--things like orange juice and grapefruit juice are not! They are not the best for you, but they are drinkable without added ingredients!
