Well, at least all those suckers I eat don't cause lung cancer.

Why are the sweet things always so bad? Oh well... you are right Kosmik... lets pink up the lungs and worry about the hips later. I have been looking online at candy I grew up with... root beer barrels sound really good -haven't had those in years!

(Smile) Cindy do you mean the "Boston Baked Beans" ? I loved those growing up. Can't eat them now, might break my teeth. (lol). I love to eat me some jelly beans. I'm eating more since I quit smoking.

Sugar effects more than the hips...

Researching sugar is scary and really not fun to think about but should also be eliminated as much as possible in everyones diet.

Its more than a weight issue is also has serious cancer connections. So be careful what you replace cigarette habits and maybe find sugar free substitutes when possible. Sorry to be a downer here ...sometimes the truth hurts but at least its the truth.

The sugar and addiction connection is only temporary. It goes away when the person is more stable....except for chocolate....that craving never goes away especially if you are female....known fact, just ask a female.
