Check this out…Some Dunkin’ Donut stores are now offering a Glazed Donut Breakfast Sandwich, a crazy concoction of bacon and a pepper-fried egg on two halves of a glazed donut. (You kind of have to wonder about the exec who thought this was a good idea in our age of obesity but that’s a whole other blog…) Now you wanna hear something really scary? At 360 calories, 20 grams of fat, and 13 grams of sugar, it seems almost tame compared to some other morning meals out there.

Don’t let the sprinkles fool you…sugar is evil.
Having been a sugar addict all my life – now ten years sugar-free – I’ve always known that sugar is addictive, mind-altering, and just plain bad for you.
But it wasn’t until I read the article, “The Many Ways Sugar can Harm your Health” by Nancy Appleton, PhD, author of the book Lick The Sugar Habit that I learned that sugar can…
- Feed cancer cells
- Contribute to the development of cancer of the breast, ovaries, prostate, rectum, pancreas, biliary tract, lung, gallbladder and stomach
- Impair your defenses against infectious disease
- Interfere with absorption of calcium and magnesium
