How DID I give up sugar?

I frequently get asked why and how I gave up sugar and sweet stuff.  I gave it up because it was causing issues with my immune system (it does for many people).  It was causing my joints to swell.  This leads to arthritis and joint issues as we age.  I personally do not want to follow in my families footsteps of knee replacements if I can avoid it.  But it was hard.  This article on yanking the sweet tooth from your diet is excellent.  I really couldn't have said it better myself:

If you would like to discuss the impact of sugars in your diet, give me a call.  It is one of my favorite subjects.
