well weel i know sugar is bad for you. I actuali eat alot of them.. and they can also make you hyper in a way. People know too much sugar is bad for you nd t can effect sme things in your body.. jus lyke diabetes. Thats awfully bad; you dont really get to choice waht you eat.. its ll the healthy food now. But if you control waht yu eat nd be stsble ;; maintain your body wieght. Dont eat alot of sweets everyday which contains sugar as again. You gotta taste it sumtime but not lyke every single day [addiction] and thats thats. Anyways doesnt mostly all the food contain sugar? except vegess? :idea:

sugar free gum is better. it still tastes like sugar and you can chew it for a long time to keep you satisfied and not thinking about other candy!

lots of foods do contain sugar (especially fruit), but it's not necessarily bad sugar.
