For the past few decades, sugar has been said to be the cause of a number of health problems. It is also said to be the culprit of tooth decay and the main cause of children being hyperactive. Studies carried out by the USA Food and Drug Administration in 1986 concluded that moderate consumption of sugar does not cause heart disease, diabetes, cancer or obesity. The scientific data also revealed that sugar does not cause hyperactivity and sugar alone does not promote tooth decay. Scientist today recognise that all fermentable carbohydrates whether from starch or sugar also play a part in dental caries. Hence, we should dismiss our 'sugar-phobias' as sugar at the end of the day is not that 'sinful' after all.
