The REAL Killers - Added Sugars

If ever you start to get overwhelmed about what you eat, I always find it best to backtrack to what we know for sure. A conscious decision of eating what you know for sure is good and, more importantly, eliminating what you know for sure to be bad, can go a long way for your not only your mental clarity, but also, obviously, you physical health.
There's a lot of discussion out there related to nutrition and the optimal way to eat to live the best life. And while I'm glad these topics are being discussed, I feel for the overwhelming majority of the population, it doesn't have to be that complicated. I feel there are a few hidden (or not so hidden) killers that are largely responsible for the negative health trends we're experiencing today. And what better place to start than the main culprit for the current obesity epidemic.

I should mention that this is a VERY simplified explanation on how sugars work, with the main intent being accessibility and bringing awareness to foods that contain more than you might have known.
