No (calorie) free lunches

Sugar, at least in its highly refined form, is not good for you.

Loaded with calories and lacking any real nutritional benefit aside from the energy it provides, refined sugar has become a problematic part of our modern-day diets.

The obesity epidemic that has seen the average BMI shoot upwards across the developed world is down primarily to refined foods with high sugar contents.

However, there are often "diet" alternatives to things such as sugary soft-drinks, confectionary and other sweet treats. We're told that these sugar-free alternatives taste just as good but are better for our health because they won't swell our waistelines and make us insulin resistant by way of type 2 diabetes.

The safety of these artificial sweetners has long been touted as "proven" by the companies that make and use them.

I think that just changed.

Forums are Down

Damn, why is it so hard to keep any reliable forum capability going these days?

I'll be working to get the forums up again but it seems that it might not be a simple task. The hosting company has obviously changed something but now it's up to me to try and get PHPBB working with their new configuration :-/
