Even though it's unhealthy, we all crave it....SUGAR

Cakes, cookies, icecream, lollipops, cotton candy, chocolate....am I making you hungry yet?
Sugar is in just about everything we consume, from yogurt to milk to fruit to dessert foods. But how do we know what kind of sugar is healthy and what is not? Believe it or not, there are different types of sugar, and they both have different effects on our body. For example, fruits and milk have naturally occuring sugar, which means it is not artificial sugar and is better for your body. Artificial or added sugar is found in most of the products we consume, like that Hershey bar you ate last night.

If a sugar is artificial or added, you can tell by these phrases on the nutrition facts label:
- malt sugar
- invert sugar
- raw sugar
- molasses
- brown sugar
- high- fructose corn syrup
- fruit juice concentrates
- honey
- corn sweetener
- sugar molecules ending in "ose"
- syrup
 - sugar

According to the American Heart Association, Men should consume no more than nine teaspoons (or 150 calories) of sugar per day and women should consume no more than six teaspoons (or 100 calories) of sugar per day.
