ANOTHER aspect of our unhealthy capitalist diet.
Medical researchers in Manchester and Nova Scotia have found a striking correlation between the amount of sugar in the diet and breast cancer -across 20 countries. And Britain has the HIGHEST sugar s intake and the HIGHEST rate of breast cancer!
Baked Beans Why do we eat so much sugar?
Sugar is added to virtually all processed foods - for no reason in most cases [why is it added to baked beans, processed peas, tomato ketchup, Daddie's Sauce and Colman's mustard?!). It is addictive, and there. for adding it to processed foods makes it more likely that people will keep on buying them, in preference to fresher food products which carry lower profits.
And the price we pay is diabetes, obesity, heart disease, and now, it seems, breast cancer.
