Sugar is found in most foods - candy bars, bread, potatoes, fruits and vegetables.
According to recent studies, as sugar consumption increases, so do health problems. Television commercials are quick to suggest that a candy bar is perfect when there's no time for a meal. As the typical American consumes 42 pounds of sugar a year, sweet tooths are becoming sweeter, and, unfortunately, our bodies are deteriorating. New studies are uncovering a dark side to sugar. Heart disease, high cholesterol levels, obesity and other heath problems are linked to sugar.
