Sugar may be sweet, but seeing facts like this is shocking.
Did you know that the average child consumes 32 teaspoons of sugar a day?

The effects on our society are staggering and, unfortunately, will only get worse unless we consciously adjust.
Thanks to two blogs, Total Health for this infographic and MindBodyGreen for bringing it into my world.

Here’s to being sweet enough without the sugar!
