Wow, this is a great thread. Sugar is indeed a very dangerous, well, drug. I finally made the connection years ago that I would frequently wake up with a headache - after consuming a bowl of ice cream the night before. Any and all processed sugar tends to give me a headache after a few hours, but for a long time I never realized that sugar was the culprit. For a few years recently, I gave up all processed sugar and limited myself to one piece of fresh fruit daily, and I felt terrific. That kind of a diet is hard to maintain, so now I am not as strict, but certainly am prone to headaches if I overindulge.
I haven't had a regular soda in years and have very few diet drinks. A Reese's now and then is OK, and the ice cream urge is satisfied with quality, not quantity. Sugar is indeed dangerous and is the cause of an overwhelming array of health problems. Use it very sparingly!
