Sugar is bad for so many reasons but is already so high in quantity in our regular day to day foods sold at stores and restaurants. It is definitely best to avoid purchasing even more via way of candies. Although sometimes I admit it is hard... even for myself. Especially when it comes to chocolates :/Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05451976898999558586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6215571588156030388.post-87755709496838422962015-11-15T23:23:19.470-05:002015-11-15T23:23:19.470-05:00These are some great tips!
