Last week 60 Minutes had a piece by Dr. Sanjay Gupta. He reports on “new” research showing that beyond weight gain, sugar can take a serious toll on your health, worsening conditions ranging from Type 2 Diabetes to heart disease and cancer.
Check out the video: Is Sugar Toxic?
There is nothing new about this except it is on a major mainstream TV News Magazine.
The cancer link is new to me. Basically, Cancer Tumors may have Insulin Receptors which allows them to absorb glucose and grow.
Eat Low Carb and starve a Tumor.
Still – from my POV this is another example of illuminating the obvious – by and for the ignorant.

Hey – Glad to hear from you. I hope you did not have too much Easter Candy. I understand the chocolate rabbits can hop right into your mouth.
Me – one too many Jelly Beans at Easter Dinner with friends. – Of course the Mint Jelly on the Leg of Lamb washed down by some fine wine – didn’t hurt.
Trust all is well.

All is good TNT it’s just been a busy early season, Making hay while the sun shines. I’ve taken a very limited amount of time off since the close of the winter 52 DC.
My best to Mrs. TNT, I hope her shoulder issues are clearing up.

Glad to hear that business is good. Mrs is recovering – no tears – just tendenitis, bursitis and old age.
