I was actually hoping to show this to my hard headed father, but I think it would just make him even more confused. The AHA keep talking around in circles.
Like this little gem right here, taken from their Sugars 101 page:

Quote:
Although sugars are not harmful to the body, our bodies don’t need sugars to function properly. Added sugars contribute additional calories and zero nutrients to food.
Over the past 30 years, Americans have steadily consumed more and more added sugars in their diets, which has contributed to the obesity epidemic.

Make up your minds people! If it's not harmful, then how does it contribute to obesity?!?! |
