When push comes to shove, it's all sugar. As long as I'd known him,
hubby drank OJ by the 12oz glass (several glasses a day). To limit
sugar intake, his Dr. finally advised him to eat whole fruit and not
just drink the juice. She told him at least he'd be getting some
fiber with it instead of drinking his sugar straight (words to that
effect). He has stopped drinking juice now and doesn't eat the fruit
either. He did so many unhealthy things to his body that he didn't
think twice about because he didn't gain weight. The chickens came
home to roost a couple of years ago and he had to make a huge
lifestyle change if he wanted to continue living.
