We just got back from visiting Zyon's family in Ohio. His mom is a health nut and I always learn lots from her, especially when it comes to food. We were talking about how sugar in food is something that should be watched carefully all the time.

Using the The Glycemic Index can help you get an idea of which foods are good and which are not so good where this is concerned.
