Refined Sugars

My friend Katy is on a diet (The Perfect 10 Diet) which cuts out refined sugars and grains. I don't know all of the details, but I have another friend who has done the same thing and it has been really wonderful for her family. She said it took her a year to really cut it all out, but it was worth it.

Here are some links with food for thought:

Sugar's effect on your health

Sugars: the Bad

This is some lady selling a book, but has good info.

Replacing Refined Sugars with Natural Sugars one step at a time.
This is on the Weston A Price website. He did the research behind a book I have wanted to check out called Nourishing Traditions. It seems to have a similar idea and over 700 recipes.

We are exploring the idea of getting rid of sugar in our home. It's a big undertaking. Pray for us to be wise.

Ugh, I know sugar is so unhealthy...but it's sooo good! ;) I would love to cut it out completely though...however honey is so expensive that it's hard to rely on it completely. I love molasses, but you can't use that in everything.
