Ok, I don't mean to sound dumb here, but is sugar considered to be a processed food? I totally agree with Dalia about trying to keep out the processed stuff and get back to the basics (and wish I was better at it) but I would have thought that plain sugar would be ok? I just try and avoid overly processed stuff or stuff with a lot of chemicals, but I'll put sugar or honey in my tea. Could this be causing additional problems? Is it better to cut out the sugar as well? It just seems with all the other things we avoid (fat, dairy, red meat, caffeine) cutting out sugar too would be pretty hard! Kelly
