Me and my friends were at a store one evening, and we read the ingredients of cereals. Most of the children's cereal had sugar as the first ingredient. And often multiple sugars.
Cookies on the other hand, had flour as the first ingredient.
And sugar looks to be a LOT more harmful.
Like, it should be a controlled substance, it is that bad.
People who have gotten off the sugars have commented that normal foods taste good, interesting, doesn't even need seasoning.
