I was 4 years old when my sister was born in April of 1977. Between bottle feedings, my mom would prepare a bottle with water and Karo syrup. Babies dont like plain water. Not right away, anyway. So moms all around would add a tablespoon of Karo to sweeten it up. It was much more palatable than plain water. In case you don't know what Karo syrup is, it's "a food syrup that is made from the starch of corn/maize and contains varying amounts of sugars: glucose, maltose and higher oligosaccharides, depending on the grade. Corn syrup is used in foods to soften texture, add volume, prevent crystallization of sugar, and enhance flavor. Most table syrups are typically based with corn syrup. It can be processed into high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) by using the enzyme D-xylose isomerase to convert a large proportion of its glucose into sweeter fructose.
Certain proteins in Karo syrups have a laxative effect. However, they are a genetically modified (GM) food and would not be suitable for people who choose a non-GM diet. Karo syrup is also unsterilized, meaning that it contains bacteria that can cause botulism in younger children and infants." (Wikipedia)
This is one of the reasons why sugar is our first addiction.

Why do I say "addiction" ? Unknowing parents often give sugar to quiet a crying baby in the form of the Karo bottle I just spoke of, as a reward for learning how to toilet train; how many of us used m&m's or skittles, or something similar when our child made it to the potty? We use it to celebrate with birthday cakes and ice cream, wedding cakes, baby shower cakes, Halloween candy, Easter candy, etc. Why are we using poison to celebrate?

Have you ever opened a bag of Swedish Fish and wondered why you cant seem to put the bag down? High fructose corn syrup is made to be addicting. Sugar is addicting. The more you eat, the more you crave. The more you crave, the sicker you become.

Sugar rots your brain. Too much sugar in a child's brain can result in ADHD. Too much sugar in an adult's brain can result in dementia.
Sugar rots your eyes by helping to add to conditions like glaucoma. Many diabetics get glaucoma because the excess sugar in your blood circulates through all of your organs, wreaking havoc everywhere. Even insomnia can be a cause of diabetes since extra sugar in the blood makes you thirsty, and therefore makes you get up several times a night for a trip to the bathroom.

Sugar also makes you fat. Why? The more sugar you eat, the more sugar you crave. The more sugar you crave, the more sugar you eat. This vicious circle is dangerous. Is it bad to have a slice of cake at a wedding? No, but if you have an addictive personality, one slice could turn into another, making you eat more than you usually would, making you consume more calories/fat/sugar/carbohydrates than you normally would, making you feel bloated and sluggish and just plain ol yucky.

The biggest and most horrific part of sugar, is that it can trigger a dormant gene known as Cancer. Cancer feeds on sugar. Cancer is a poison that feeds on the poison you're putting into your body. Does everyone experience this? No. But do you really want to poke the bear?

If you're feeling this way, you're not alone. Want to feel better? Want to have a clearer mind, more energy, less weight?

Have you seen my new room layout yet?

Do you recognize this piece of furniture? You know you've seen it somewhere before but you cant quite put your finger on it?

There are a few people who will obviously be exempt from answering this post, but the first person who can tell me where this came from will win a very nice gift from yours truly!

And the guessing starts....

A young couple moved into a new house. The next morning while they were eating breakfast, the young woman saw her neighbor hanging the washing outside.

"That laundry is not very clean; she doesn’t know how to wash correctly. Perhaps she needs better detergent.”

Her husband looked on, remaining silent. Every time her neighbor hung her washing out to dry, the young woman made the same comments. A month later, the young woman was surprised to see a nice clean wash on the line and said to her husband,

"Look, she’s finally learned how to wash correctly. I wonder who taught her this?"

The husband replied, "I got up early this morning and cleaned our windows."

And so it is with life … What we see when watching others depends on the clarity of the window through which we look.

So don’t be too quick to judge others, especially if your perspective of life is clouded by anger, jealousy, negativity or unfulfilled desires.

"Judging a person does not define who they are. It defines who you are."
