Aaron I already mentioned in some other thread, but Americans take an excessive amount of sugar in addition to the fact that they eat a lot. That definitely makes them become overweight. If you go outside of US, visit a couple of countries and see how they eat, it becomes pretty clear that Americans take way too much sugar. What's even worse is that this is not recognized as "addiction". So many Americans actually believe that "sweet" = "delicious."

Yes, it does, but you don't typically say that sugar is nutritious. Generally speaking, most people take some amount of carbohydrate; for example, most people eat bread, rice or potatoes. They are not the most expensive food; as a matter of fact, they are generally cheapest. So, generally people don't suffer from not taking enough sugar or carbohydrate. Consequently, no one really talks about adding sugar in order to have a nutritious meal.

Do you add sugar to your cereal...? Is this a bad thing to do, assuming that the cereal you're eating isn't already sweetened?
