Add to what you said, we're eating too much sugar causing a health crisis no one's talking about (from eating sugar).

So true! The sugar addiction is real and I just don't know how to kick it. For me, it is twisted in with my caffeine addiction and I struggle trying to ward off potential withdrawal migraines with wanting to stop caffeine and also wanting to make it through life/work.

  May I make a starting recommendation - start weaning yourself off of it. Start with your coffee. Work yourself to decaf, start with 3/4 regular, 1/4 decaf. Then, 1/2 sugar, and try 1/2 stevia. It's tough to do it cold-turkey.

    If I can suggest an alternative, reduce the sugar first in coffee and start switching to black without anything else in it. I think sugar is far worse than caffeine including alternatives like Stevia. Decaf on the other hand depending on how it was made into decaf can also be harmful. Kick the sugar first. I replaced it with tarts like green apples and other fruits and not only lost weight but artificial sugar does not even taste good to me anymore. On a side note I'm never typi g from a mobile phone again I'm sick of.typos and I'm done fixing them from here, this mobile phone bottleneck is terrible.

      Same. : ) Typing on a mobile phone is still really bad. I'm not just being a "old person". Key boards are way better, and I'm surprise that we have not had much innovation in this relm. It's almost like the powers that be, want to keep mobile and tablet as consumption devices and not a creation devices. It's really hard to produce meaningful data with a phone... Basically bottlenecked from keyboard and mouse, to just mouse...

  Reducing workload and stress levels worked for me. I am only dependant on coffeine when I need to work a lot, and on sugar when I need to artificially cheer myself up.
