You are right. I eat sugar like crazy but work like mad = not fat. (-) + (+) = neutral

If you're Australian, then you're not Vitamin B deficient. Thanks Vegemite.

I repeat: Who is Honey Boo Boo and why does her family eat condiments like they are a food group?
Ewww! Never mind ... I googled it ... er, her. Surely people have something better to do with their time than watch such garbage?

Sugar that comes to us naturally is of course, naturally wholesome. Too much sugars combine with too much carbohydrates (which are converted into MORE sugar) to lead to an unwholesome life. If we were to just condition our bodies to accept nature's ration of sugar through the foods we eat, we would not need additional scoops from the sugar bowl.

I believe that such feelings notwithstanding, the body of a healthy individual ensures that blood sugar level remains relatively constant. In short, most people who claim to have "low blood sugar" really do not (exception: diabetics).

What do you mean by a "bottle" - how many millilitres are you drinking?
I suggest that chronic ingestion of sugar will cause problems over the long run. Perhaps a young person's pancreas can deal with a "bottle" of soft drink each day. However, I suggest this kind of behaviour will catch up with them eventually as the pancreas "burns out" as it spends years trying to process way too much sugar.
Look at the diabetes epidemic....

Well. I have tried talking to them about this and they wouldn't listen. Usually it is 25cl. At times some consume 35cl.
I would have loved to give the mix (concentration of syrup)...but I can't give a company data;)
well...I've been away tho
We were discussing this topic just this past weekend. We see the lable that says a 20oz. bottle has 70g. But, how much is 70 grams? Almost 20 cubes!!! A 20oz bottle of Coke Classic? 17 cubes!
Yikes! No wonder my blood glucose goes balistic if I drink any soda pop. I can't anymore due to my diabetes.

What an eye opener! I thought when I read this, "That can't be right!" So I looked it up. A cube of sugar is 4.16 mg of sugar. Doing the math, you find that's 16.78657074340528 mg of sugar (OK, so I'm showing off my calculater -- big deal!) per 20 oz bottle. This translates to other foods too.
For example, ever read the sodium content on your packaged foods. Some of them have 160 mgs of salt. That's not bad, you say. A teaspoon of salt is 2,300 mg, so we're not getting that much salt. Really? How much salt do you shake on your food? I don't use salt out of a shaker, but I'm going to start reading the labels on my processed foods, or try to cut out processed foods altogether after doing this little mathematical exercise.
Most people I see shake salt over their plate shake the salt five or six times. Do you have any idea how much that is? The typical "shake" out of a standard-sized salt shaker (smaller than the palm of your hand, about 2-1/2" to 3" high) shakes out 1/16th of a teaspoon of salt per shake. That's 143.75 mg of salt per shake. When you shake the salt shaker six times, that's 862.5 mg of salt! That's a lot of salt, and if you are sodium sensitive, that is way too much salt. But you're getting almost half that amount out of a typical bowl of soup straight off the supermarket shelf, and then if you add more salt, you're really setting yourself up for heart disease, high blood pressure, etc.
I would never have thought about this if you hadn't posted the sugar cube info, WIP. Thanks!

It was news to me too and I had to look it up to verify it.

I believe that, over the centuries, the church has veered away from an essential truth of the Biblical worldview: physical creation is important and, in particular, our bodies are important. It is therefore a matter of Christian obedience to eat a healthy diet and take care of our bodies. In all frankness, eating too much sugar and becoming overweight as a result, or eating your way into hypertension though salt consumption are both as much matters of sin as is, for example, having lustful thoughts.
Many have bought into a false dualism between the "mateiral" and the "immaterial", badly, although perhaps understandably, mis-reading Paul (and perhaps other Bible writers). However, the Scriptures teach that God loves His created world and intends to redeem it. When we are lax in taking care of our bodies, we work against God's redemptive programme.
