Hugh ... I had to look awhile to find this, as I could remember it being posted, but not by whom.

I wanted to thank-you for posting the information on sugar, especially frutose, as the information has opened my eyes, and changed the way I eat.

I have watched the entire video by Dr. Lustig (runs about 1 1/2 hours) several times now. Although it proves difficult to eliminate sugar and fructose from our diet as it seems to be present in all process food, I have cut out sugar from my diet (as best I can)

I did not realize my own addition to sugar until I quit using it in my coffee. I was fine for the first 4 days or so, but after about a couple of weeks, I noticed I was having enormous cravings for sugar. So far, I have not given in. It was if I was going through some type of chemical withdrawl, such as withdrawing from drugs .... OOPS, I guess I was!

I have been repeated asked by family members to share this video with them ... so I thought it was a good idea to reserect it on this site for those who missed it last time.
