Should I stop eating so much sugar?

I just can't resist eating tasty sweet candies every few hours throughout the day. wafers- hershey's, fizz- should I cut down?
Sugar taste so good but I don't want to get diabetes 
how much sugar do you eat? I once heard that your body loses sugar when you smoke weed which means sugar is actually healthy after

diabetes is not a fun disease... Just think how much sugar did the average person consume 100 or 200 years ago... not much

You are addicted to processed sugar, hence the need every few hours after the crash. Put down the candies and pick up some fruit. Eat fruit at every snack you would eat candy. It will give you sugar, but mixed in with soluble fibre, so it releases slowly, sparing your pancreas. Furthermore, fruit is full of other nutrients, not toxic synthetic flavors and colors.

Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole nature in its beauty.

When I saw the title of this thread, I immediately said "yes." Sugar is probably the most unnecessary thing to have in your diet next to saturated fat. If you want simple carbs, the only healthy way to go, really, is to eat fruit. Even eating too much fruit can have the same negative effects on blood sugar and weight.

This doesn't make sense, false logic + stupid assumption.
Yes, you should cut down on sugar. If i understand it correctly, eating too much processed sugar with the wrong sort of metabolism can cause hyperglycemia which in turn develops into diabetes...
I have sugar in my coffee cream, and eat 2 cookies after dinner + 1 or 2 granola bars during the day. I try and stay ontop of my sugar consumption the best i can, but i definately do crave cookies or soda at some times.
I drink 2 coca cola's a week + i would like to do without... but...

QFT. I was in your boat for quite a while - eating candy all the time/ drinking a fuckton of soda. One day, I just quit... wasn't really hard at all! Just weened off with diet soda and fruits. I subsequently cut out the soda entirely. Although, I must admit, this was not necessitated by some far off disease (i.e. diabetes), but shitty teeth via genes. If only nicotine was so easy . . .

how much sugar do you eat? I once heard that your body loses sugar when you smoke weed which means sugar is actually healthy after  

I thought this was a ridiculous statement, but a quick google search revealed a couple of small studies that showed blood sugar levels dropping after administration of a doobie.

^ Interesting. Now I don't feel bad for all those times I raped the vending machine for twix and snickers after smoking.
I usually don't have much sugar, at least not like candy and junk food. Maybe I'll have ice cream or junk food a couple times a week maximum. It's weird, I heard that even most tomato sauce these days has a lot of sugar in it. I guess it goes to show you the times we live in...
I wouldn't worry much about getting diabetes unless it runs in your family or something. Either way, substitute candy for fruits (fuju apples, oranges/tangerines, pineapples, peaches, berries are all yummy) and I'd suggest eliminating soda/energy drinks if you drink them... they're bad.

I gave up soda a long time ago although I still drink vitamin water 
I get the feeling that eating a lot of food when your high healthier then when your sober. I don't proof of this but I've heard your metabolism is faster when you are high- I know me personally I am skinny as fuck but still tend to munch out sometimes

sugar is killing you. find a healthier substitute like sucanant, maple syrup, honey, or stevia.
and no sugar is not healthy just because weed lowers your blood glucose. i swear people these days make up the craziest shit and actually think it's valid.

There is no real proof of artificial sweaters affecting humans negatively; but thats probably big business trying to cover things up. However in 2004, of all children 1-4 years old who died, 26% died from μ-oxido dihydrogen**. Its in our lakes and pools, even in drinks sold at stores; they even spray crops with it and act like nothing is wrong. Fucking can't go a day without some solvent or chemical of some sort effecting the way we think, move, and even metabolize foods.

I rarely eat sweets, I never buy them for the house. I might have 2 sodas a month. smoking or not sugar isn't healthy, considering most of the sweets are flavored by high fructose corn syrup, which is worse for you then sugar.

Cut out the excess sugar and switch to starches. Starches are slow-release dextrose, which is much better to maintain blood sugar than simple sugars are.
Don't switch to diet soda - those sweeteners are quite bad for you. (see link in my sig)
Fruit, bread, juice.. those kinds of things.
The more I look into processed foods, the more I agree with: "don't eat things your grandfather wouldn't have recognized as food"

Yeah, its apparent that some people don't understand sarcasm and others just agree with other people because its "alternative". While others do both.

Yes, my original statement was a joke, because you said chemicals were bad.
Here I'm agreeing with you.
Quote:

In this, I was poking fun at you for saying chemicals are bad. You really can't say that because your whole body is made of chemicals, all drugs are chemicals, and all plants are made of them.

Perhaps you should review "your" point-of-view because you share it with so many "alternative" thinkers. Remember chemicals are chemicals, its origin has no effect on how it will affect you.
