Everything in moderation is the key except for drugs which you don’t need at all. A little wine is good for you, a little sugar is good for you not 3 cans of soda a day. What happens is people go to extremes. Sugar is addictive as cocaine; totally totally nonsense.

(Per Rabbi Noach Orlowek, shlita) HaRav Scheinberg, ZT”L used to say that all those sweets we give our children help turn them into BAALEI TIVA (i.e. addicts)… Buzz, crash, buzz, crash, buzz, crash…!

The guy has been pushing this agenda for several years. Sugar was introduced at specific times, and while there is strong evidence that the introduction of sugar resulted in bad teeth (people study skeletons and notice the correlations), the growth in diabetes, cancer, etc., only occured when obesity came to be a factor, which seems to be related to increased used of machines rather than manual labor (prior to the mid-19th century, almost everyone walked to work, and there were no labor saving devices), as well as television and computers.

If you are thin and exercise (or do lots of manual labor) there’s no problem with sugar (other than dental problems, which are also avoidable). Parents should aspire to have kids who are scrawny and underfed and worked to the bone (okay, lets add child abuse laws to the causes of juvenile obesity).

Absolutely correct!

And, the addiction begins at a very early age, when well-menaing parents and Rebbeim “Reward” children by giving them sugary treats.

Diabetes is one of today’s fastest-growing illnesses. So, parents, stop the madness. Cut down on those nosh and sodas–NOW!
