do you eat/drink too much sugar?

[einride]

i do. i eat candy all the time, god damn. it's tasty but hardly economical or healthy (i have diabetes running in the family.) i do not drink soda however, so that's something.

so anyway, i just decided to not eat any extraneous sugar for a month, just to see what happens. i get to eat fruit and stuff but no candy. as i sit here i already feel like i wanna go buy LAKRISAL or some shit, all of four hours or so into the decision. man. how bad of a drug is sugar anyway?

I LOVE candy but eat it sparingly. That shit you sent from Sveden that time was awesome too.

I also drink diet soda instead of regular soda, and actually enjoy it more. Although, I have cut back on that as well.

Yeah, and it was strangely intriguing. Kind of like hoppy beer, an acquired taste, then you worship it. And the salted licorice you sent me was the first time I had the salted version, but already loved the unsalted. When I first tried it I went :zombie: then then then then then and finally

I have bought it several times after that at he local candy shop that has every kind of candy known to man.

It makes the medicine go down in the most delightful way.

I put too much strawberry sirup in my beer

Love sugar in my coffee, but never in my tea.

And I think I eat way too much of sweets, candies... I just can't help it. I wish I was careless to that stuff, but I'm not, it's such a drug.
The only sweet shit I don't dig is peanut butter... I simply don't get what's so awesome about it. I do love Reeses Peanut Butter Cups with white chocilate though.

I've gotten much worse with candy over the past year or so. I can't really say what it is, I've just given in I suppose.

peanut butter does not contain sugar though

I wonder if candy, soda, etc is the same worldwide in terms of contents or is a chocolate bar in the US worse for you than a chocolate bar in the UK which is worse than one in Japan, etc.

You'd probably be better off with the normal soda, the chemical alternative in the diet soda is worse.

I just know that there is 120% of your daily reccomended sugar intake in 1 litre of coke/pepsi.


I eat candy 2 or 3 times a year. I can't eat too much at once or I feel sick to the stomach.

I drink my coffee and tee straight, drink 2 or 3 cans of soda per year (as something different).

But I bake cookies every few months and theres a few cups of sugar in a double-batch.

I fucking love sweets/candies. I don't buy them because I love them so much.

Negative.

Um... I have 3 different kinds of peanut butter from US, and on each one it says that it does... (I just checked)

 

[swizzlenuts]

Negative.

Unless he means you're more likely to gain weight with diet soda, then I agree with you.

huh, i've only tried the kind that contains nothing but peanuts and a li'l bit of salt

What?

Also, natural PB does not contain sugar, but Jiffy, Peter Pan, etc etc do contain sugar, amongst a host of other things.
