When I thought about writing this article, I did my due diligence by reviewing the scientific literature as well as doing a simple google search on the “common myths about sugar”. While I shouldn’t have been surprised, the answers that populated my google search made me all but abandon hope.

What I read had so much potential for harm, and went in opposition to everything that I’ve learned through my work as a Registered Nurse, a Nutritionist, a Sugar Addiction Recovery coach and as an informed person with common sense (rarer than you’d think these days).
​
Despite cringing at what the search revealed, I pushed forth, and read through the articles, because I wanted to make sure that I understand both sides of the story, especially when writing about something like sugar consumption, that has become so unbelievably controversial.
