Answer

Processed sugar is not necessary at all in anyone's daily diet. It should be avoided. Our body gets enough carbohydrates from ordinary foods and converts raw carbs to sugars as needed. Grains, fruits, and other carbs provide enough(sometimes too much) sugars as is. Dried fruits such as rasins are especially full of sugars. To add even more processed sugar is harmful. As a dentist, I see daily the harm done by hard candy, chocolate, soda, cough drops (98% sugar), sweetened tea, coffee (with either sugar and sometimes powdered cream substitute (contains high % sugar), pastries, pies , cakes, cookies. NONE OF THESE FOODS ARE NECESSARY AND SHOULD BE AVOIDED UNLESS IT IS A RARE SPECIAL OCCASION. Even worse, many of our schools support certain school programs by selling candy, having soda machines in the schools, having juice machines in the schools (just as harmful as soda), and letting teachers give out candy as a reward to children. If schools found out that something that they served in the cafeteria caused a child's toe to fall off occasionally, I bet they would quit serving what caused the toe to fall off. Am I right?? Well, in the same respect, how can schools allow processed sugars, which cause teeth ro rot and fall out or have to be pulled, to be served in their institution. How can they allow a teacher to award a kid with a substance that is known by EVERYONE to cause tooth decay??? Hope I have been of some help to you. Consult a dietician if you disagree with anything that I have said.
