Thank you for those great links - exellent additions to this thread.

Sugar has the potential to create problems at all sorts of levels, poor digestion, upsetting of the fat metabolism, empty calories....

Sugar sucrose which breaks down into glucose and fructose from memory. It is a huge subject on its own.

It is clear from papers that consumption of refined sugars, particularly above a minimum can potentially have significant negative effects in the body.

Some are suggesting it is in general terms possibly a bigger factor in IBS than gluten etc. It certainly makes thought provoking reading. Good digestion is essential to health. And yes I could do better too.

Here is one link by way of example.
