I love sweets. I can eat ice cream by the quart, add maple syrup to cereal and commit many other such atrocities, until recently. A Ted Talk by a microbiologist alerted me to the findings where it has been shown that cancer cells love and respond to sugar. This has been known for quite some time but is new to me. I suppose a bit of sugar in the diet would not be so bad if sugar were not also added in surprisingly large amounts to all sorts of things. Read the labels.
