MODERATORS
Sugar should prob be regulated at least like Aspirin or maybe Alcohol
At the very least, regulated in quantity by the FDA. Sure, you can add some sugar to bread to help with the rising process, but not so much that it's a cake. Added sugars is modern adulteration, there only to disguise the lack of quality in other ingredients or preparation.
It's mindblowing how sugar (usually in the form of high fructose corn syrup) is added on most food products in the US, even on stuff that don't really need them. I started being conscious and reading labels on the things I buy at the grocery store and it's so hard to avoid the stuff.
No kidding, I remember buying a loaf of rye bread when I went to the US and being shocked that it tasted sweet. It's rye bread, sweetness is not the flavour I was going for.
