Primarily refined sugars. I think that we all know they are empty calories and
bad for weight and teeth, but she has stated repeatedly that they are poison.

Good idea. I would prefer not to have her at all. He is the late brother in
law's ex wife. She has no family in the country other than her children and her
(ex) inlaws. She is wacko and hard to deal with, but she is the mother of our
niece and two nephews so we include her in family gatherings.
