RE: Our Sugar Addiction and The Slave Trade

in #history7 years ago

Great article. Some of this was covered in the book Sugar Blues by William Dufty. He approaches it from more of a health angle. The biggest thing I got from his book is that refined sugar causes cancer. And thanks again from both me and Kayla for your help- it means a lot!!!

I wish I could hug Kayla and you are all in my prayers. I have the book Sugar Blues and several others I will use for reference when I write my next article on how bad sugar is for our health and how much energy/resources it uses in production. I had no idea about sugar and slavery!

I'll give her a big hug for you! I'm going over to see them on Sunday and see if they need anything. My ex works her butt off and doesn't make very much, so I try to help out... I have to fight her to make her take money, but she needs it more than I do.

I had a sneaking suspicion that you knew about Sugar Blues... I read it in 2010 and it changed my life. I almost cut out sugar, but still wound up with diabetes. I take Berberine and in a month and a half my blood sugar hasn't been over 148. When I use sugar I get raw, it's good- it actually has flavor! Thanks again for everything- especially your friendship!!!
