Sugar, especially refined sugar, is hard on the body;  
heavy sugar intake causes a quick rise in blood sugar
that is followed by a quick fall. Sugar has been shown
to cause dental cavities, obesity, high triglycerides, 
and is especially harmful in the control of diabetes and 
hypoglycemia. In addition, the consumption of foods high 
in sugar may be replacing the eating of other, healthier 
foods, such as fruits and vegetables.
