I have been thinking a lot about sugar lately.  Not so much because of my love/hate relationship with it but because I have a high school wrestler.  During wrestling season we try to keep the sweets and the junk out of the house; it is just easier for him.  But wrestling has just ended so I went out and purchased some of those things he has been “depriving” himself of.  For the first time in a while coke, cookies and ice cream were in the cart mixed up with fruit and veggies.This got me thinking; how much sugar am I buying for my son?  So, I did a little research on sugar and how much Americans eat.  I figured if I was going to buy it, I should at least be informed, right?  If you really do not want to know how much sugar is in our food, I would not read any further.  It is quite shocking.
