Challenge of the Month: July 2007: Refined Sugar

Sunday, July 1st, 2007

During this Challenge of the Month: Don’t use refined sugar.

According to my friend Wouter, refined sugar is basically pure poison. Refined sugar is the sugar you buy in bags to put in your coffee, tea or whatever. It’s bad for your teeth and bad for your body. Sugar breaks down vitamins and other stuff your body needs and gets from the food you take in.

Since I only put sugar in my tea (used to be in my coffee), it shouldn’t be too hard to stop using any sugar. All I need to do is acquire a taste for sugarless tea which, according to another friend, isn’t that hard. So it’s been decided: no more sugar.

Previous challenge: Coffee

I stopped drinking coffee almost completely. Every once in a while (when visiting my parents or when I’ve been out to dinner) I have a single cup. About one in 1.5 weeks. That’s just fine with me.
