I often talk about the dangers of sugar and how we should remove sugar from our diet. I am currently reading an interesting book called The Candida Cure by Ann Boroch and she lists fifty-nine reasons why sugar ruins your health. Most of us know that sugar is not good for us. It increases fasting levels of glucose and insulin and it contributes to obesity and diabetes.
