Why we talk a lot about sugar, and eat little of it

These people say it much better than I do. A must-read on the topic of sugar and why we are trying to curb, delay, or prevent the "addiction" for Eli.

As a family, we cut out processed food a long time ago (we do cheat a couple times a year), and processed sugar a few years ago. Per the suggestion of Eli's pediatrician, we are delaying starchy foods such as potatoes and pasta for Eli, so that hopefully he won't develop quite a sweet tooth as his daddy did. More on our low-glycemic diet later. But for now this article will do.
