I had no idea America was on track for 50% of the population to be pre-diabetic by 2025, and that a vast majority of americans would be overweight or obese in the next 20 years. Its really made clear to me that I need to be 100% about what I'm putting in my body, and if you look at the ingredients of most food in grocery stores, you find it has some level of sugar. Its also drawn my attention to my own sugar and carb addiction tendencies. As much as I know I should not eat that bar of chocolate, even having the option available sways me to buy it.
To round out my own opinions: sugar is the next tobacco and should be regulated as such.
