Wow, this article is really making me want to try giving up sweets for a bit just to see how it changes the way I feel...
Quoted: The average American consumes a shocking 150 pounds of sugar a year, or roughly 20 teaspoons every day. Such through-the-roof concentrations of added sweeteners may contribute to all sorts of health problems.

I know. I wish I could give up sugar too. But, what about cupcakes?! There are some things that are bad for you that make life worth living...like alcohol and dessert. Still, it would be a fun experiment to go off it all for a while. I've managed to give up alochol for up to 4 days at a time, and I always feel great by day 4. Okay, I better shut up before my AA group sees this.
i'm eating a "brownie cupcake" as i type this.
this discussion is making me crave some chocolate and a glass of wine, ha. that's just it though - anytime you forcefully deprive yourself of something, you just want it more!
sounds like a plan for tonight!
Whoa. What's a "brownie cupcake"? I'm trying to imagine the texture and I can't.
yeah, that sounds kinda good. hey mohit, how bout you bring over some of those to dinner tonight? haha.
i think it's essentially a brownie -- but less crumbly so it doesn't fall apart as you're eating it. unfortunately, i just had one.
