A sugar is a sugar is a sugar...right????

I have been doing much research on sugar. I have 4 (to date) reasons to research this topic.... In a few laboratory studies I have conducted (holiday meals) I have noticed that when my subjects indulged in the "treats" that abounded, they were very difficult to deal with for hours afterwards and then they fall into an almost drug induced sleep. I am thoroughly convinced that white sugar is the culprit! Here is some of my research findings to date:

A: Fruit sugar is not the same as refined sugar. Fruit actually contains the fiber and carbs that God intended to go along with the fruit sugar (also known as fructose). Amazing how God designed it to work that way!

B:Sugar is addictive (remember about the drug induced sleep I mentioned?) - I double dog dare you to abstain from sugar (this includes hidden sugar: ketchup, breads, meats, ALL fast food (reference link below), most sauces, dressings, condiments in general..... You will have a pounding headache in a couple days and be very difficult to be around. Is that not withdrawal???

C:Sugar actually feeds cancer. Yep - cancer feeds on the sugar in your body. Everyone has cancer cells in their body - it is how you treat your body that is the deciding factor. You will either feed it healthy life giving foods or death acceleration foods.....your choice.

Note that all sweetners (i.e. agave, honey, etc..) will cause your bloodsugar to rise (not a HUGE spike like table sugar though) as they do not have the fiber to slow down digestion. however - since agave and honey both have enzymes (if they are raw) your body can easily digest them - no blood sugar spike! Not so with white table sugar........

Also look into the herb Stevia. I have not done tons of research on this as my hubby does not really care for it, but I would venture to say it is even better for you than agave or honey since it is an herb. Though I dont know much about the processesing. I have just read that raw stevia is better for you than stevia extract (the less processing the better!).
I am still researching to date - I will let you in on any other exciting facts :)
