Sugar and Candy

S is for Sugar, once a sweet medicine (it still is, in places) U do know it was medicine in India in the tenth century - G God knows why it is so addictive these days (money?) (As is tobacco, another medicine from the Other Indians Columbus misnamed) R Refined, white as snow, and like it AVALANCHES of sugar keep on killing CANDY Crunch is a game that exposes itself and Murderous Sugar A anyone who wins. game by game, sees the pancreatic explosions N named SUGAR CRUNCH and SUGAR STARS (awesome; super, delightful) D Do you recall seeing stars at breakfast when the pre-diabetes hit you? Y can't we see "refinement" was a put-on job, fake as WHITE sugar, and half pregnant?

Yes, gentlemen, sugar in small doses, and when young ... may be wonderful. Something about Age and Sugar don't mix may be captured in terms like "Sugar Daddy," - not a compliment. LOL! shalom, shalom friends

You do well to open the eyes of those who fail to notice certain things, Anil. Sugar can somehow be part of a healthy diet, but otherwise it increases the risk of many dangerous conditions mostly related to blood and heart. ~ Regards & Peace // paul
