I want congress to introduce food companies to stop putting sugar in the food. Its ok for some people can eat sugar but put it seperate. You read the labels just how much sugar in the food that causes diabetes. I want congress to introduce a bill would make the FDA fine food companies $10,000 each item if they find sugar in the item.
Never, never trust the morons in FDA to handle these jobs. Never. That's why California have a system that allow us, people to propose a law or change the law to handle many problems included foods. Hence California Organic Products Act of 2003 introduced into California's laws, soon will be introduce Biodynamic Product Act into the laws. Sweden, Europe and others already did that many years ago... California is only state in America that put a cap on corporations' controls with Organic Products Act. California also is only state that severely limits corporations' GMO farming (Genetically Modified Organisms). Heard the rumors that they will introduce the new law to put a cap on GMO farming completely.

Jeezzz, ravensteve, I thot most of us wanted smaller government, not larger and larger until there is no individualism left! Pretty soon you will be coming up with ideas about how the government should tell us to go to the potty! Lol, don't let me stop you with your ideas, man!
Well, as long as government allow the corporations to do whatever they want, we have to have a bigger government to deal with other government and corporations' damages. Really.... America government should take a look at Sweden's system (Or Europe and Holland) and cope their system, they will repair 80% of problems in 5 - 15 years.

Eating sugar does not cause diabetes. But if eats way too much sugar, I would encourage those who are diabetes to limit the sweets. foods can fit into a diabetes diet much as Vegetables and fruits, fresh meats, and whole grains are all part of a healthy diet that controls blood glucose levels. Foods that are labeled low carbohydrate are naturals for a diabetes food section.
On contrary, sugar does cause diabetes. Before 'white-sugar' farming era, there is virtually no diabetes. Consuming the large quantity of grains can cause that as well. There are over different 100 researches in medical journals mentioned about these, it is a well-know problem. Diabetes now are in top 5 diseases in America (which it is not in top 5 diseases 50 years ago). The researchers found that consuming the white sugar cause the black death in Europe (1348 ad) included no system for human's wastes. Suggest you to check this good book:
Sugar Blues by William Dufty. Highly recommended to buy and read. It require us (Osteopathic students) to read and write a essay to get a grade. Once you read the book, Sugar Blues, you will wonder how sick americans are and disgusts with governments & corporations in America.
Edit: One interesting fact about sugars in America. There is virtually no sugar in canned, soups, packaged foods, etc in Europe, Holland, Sweden, etc etc.. while there is massive sugar in literally everything at common Supermarket stores in America. People just don't realize how much they put the sugar in common foods in America. You cannot stop these corporations or governments from putting the sugar, it is common nowaday but you can change your diet by educate yourself and be responsible. In other words, you don't have to propose the congress to handle the job for you, you can do it on your own by change the diet or stop buying these common foods in Supermarket. You don't realize how powerful you are to corporations, know what it is? It is power of buying. Corporations heavily depends on people's ignorance and their power of buying.
food labels, even packages that state "sugar free" for the total carbohydrate and fat content.
They have?
