Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 Hi, Bill. I don't know about heart dis-ease, but cancer has never been " virtually unknown. " It has been with humankind since ancient times. Doubtless, white sugar is an injurious product. There is an excellent book called " The Saccharine Diet " that tells in detail what happens from eating white sugar and white flour. But it is certainly erroneous for that source to give us the idea that cancer incidence practically began with the rise in white sugar consumption.
