my name is t, and i’m a sugar addict
t says: I just saw the 60minutes special featuring some sugar researchers. Interesting stuff – it’s a shame they had to cut it down to less than 15 minutes, because I can tell the researchers had a bit more to say before Sanjay Gupta’s voice cut in.
Check it out and decide for yourself:

Also, here’s the original 1.5 hour Lustig lecture – he’s a little abrasive here, but it’s all part of the “show”. He has a watered down version in 2011 as well where he’s a bit nicer in delivery.
More to the point: is it time for me to start making strides towards that goal of 100 calories a day from sugar? The AHA thinks so. I was planning to do so when I turn 30 this year, but maybe it should be sooner? It’s ironic, because I have some sugary posts coming up soon …
I think everyone would find they are a sugar addict to a degree, even healthy peeps like me! I actually did a post about it a couple of weeks ago
