All 3 stories on last nights 60 minutes were good, IMO.
Eliminating all added sugar from one's diet would be extremely difficult & unnecessary, IMO. However, watching what you eat and eliminating most added sugar, HFCS, and other nasty additives and preservatives is definitely within one's control.
As many on this board have, I stopped consuming soft drinks (~9 years ago now). For close to 2.5 years now I eat a diet mostly consisting of plant-based, whole foods. I don't limit the amount of seafood/fish I consume (only about once a week or so anyway). I was already healthy but my body fat % dropped more, lost about 10 lbs (I don't need to lose weight - the 10lbs dropped quick and stayed off), and my blood work is outstanding. Living an active lifestyle helps too.
Enjoying a sugary dessert or a good steak every now and then is fine. It's all about moderation. And being Awesome.
