Sweet Poison
It is well known that during the Cuban missile crisis the import of sugar (“Sugar hit,” Connections Vol 25 No 18) to the US plummeted, and so did the curve for the incidence of cancer. I wonder why?

Using anything in excess will have a negative effect on our health and wellbeing. Sugars and fats are an everyday part of most people’s diet. It’s the amount of each consumed and how they’re presented that’s important. Fruits are a valuable source of natural sugars for the brain, for example. It’s not enough to “ban” all forms of sugar just because it’s potentially not good for us in certain forms.
