Valentine’s Day Candy Leaves Sour Taste In Mouth Of Ex-Sugar
Junkie
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Avoid giving your honey some sugar
on Valentine’s Day unless you want a crabby, lethargic mess on your hands.
Connie Bennett, an anti-sugar advocate who runs the online
support group
sugarshockblog.com, insists candy and chocolates are not ideal gifts for
Valentine’s Day.
Bennett says there’s a segment of the population that sugar can
turn into moody, irritable witches, souring even the best intentions on
Valentine’s Day.
She says a lot of folks aren’t even aware sugar has this type of
hold on them.
Even worse, Bennett says, some people who consistently eat
sweets are more prone to a decreased libido.
In Bennett’s words, “Who wants to hang out with someone wiped
out on Valentine’s Day?”
According to Bennett, those whom she’s surveyed on what they’d
like in lieu of candy say they’d rather get poems than sweets from their
sweetie.

Rachel McAdams’ Maple Syrup Diet Sours Health Experts
Tuesday, September 6, 2005
NEW YORK (Wireless Flash) – Red Eye actress Rachel McAdams is dishing out diet
advice that is tough to swallow for one fitness author.
In a recent survey, McAdams revealed she stays slim by drinking maple syrup
until she's so hyper she runs around like crazy to burn off the calories.
That leaves a bad taste in the mouth of Connie Bennett, author of the yet-to-
be-published book "Sugar Shock!" because she says drinking maple syrup over time
will lead to a blood sugar imbalance -- and a crash bigger than anything
in "The Wedding Crashers."
And some 250 doctors she interviewed for the book agree -- like one M.D. who
says
a diet top-heavy in simple carbohydrates can easily lead to a pancreatic
insufficiency and/or insulin resistance -- forerunners of diabetes.
As Bennett sums it up: 'Telling people to drink maple syrup isn't good diet
advice. It's a recipe for health woes galore.'"
