Thought some additional information might be interesting. Here is a link to the CBS "60 Minutes" segment on the relationship of sugar and heart disease, obesity, and cancer. I found the controlled hospital study on the adverse effects of sugar on blood lipids very convincing. They also recommend max daily consumption of added sugar for both men and women.
