So I was in my neighborhood deli the other day and I checked the label on a Starbucks cold frappuccino. Ready? Sixty-eight grams of sugar. All the iced teas, sodas, energy drinks loaded with sugar. Breakfast cereal, bread, booze, sugar, sugar, sugar. If the food is processed, sugar is present. I am not the food cop. I want you to enjoy life. But sugar is bad to the bone, skin, teeth,
