I think there is more and more coming out about the need to cut down on sugar, due to its link with chronic illnesses and cancer.

I cut out refined sugar as much as possible and certainly limit my use of foods that contain sugar, I think I’m better for it. I notice that if I do succumb to pure sugar in sweetie form then my teeth become instantly sensitive and hurt. It’s like an inner reminder that the sugar is bad.

If I make something that requires sugar I tend to use a good honey and make sure it is wrap and organic.
