Your sweet tooth is bad for your health -- ways sugar harms you
In case weight gain, tooth decay and lack of energy weren't reason enough for you to give up the sweets, here's some more incentive: Sugar actually harms your health. I'm not sure if the article is intended as a scare tactic by savvy business-types, but apparently it can interfere with immune system functioning, lead to the development of diabetes, increase stress, slow down cognition in children and lead to a deficiency of other more important nutrients in your diet. Wowza! And if this still isn't enough to make you consider giving up dessert, it can make your skin sag! Scary, huh?It's easier said than done -- trust me, I know -- better than most people. But it's worth a try, right? You don't have to give up dessert forever -- just try to limit it to, say, special occasions ... such as Saturday nights.

somehow it sounds like they're attributing waaaay too much to sugar alone.
