Indy - After you type in the title, you just highlight it and click the little icon above the text box that looks like a little planet earth. Paste in the link there.

Thanks, Pax. I never would have figured that out.

The one about sugar scares me. I have a bad sweet tooth, so while all my vitals--blood glucose, weight, BP, cholesterol, liver function, etc.--are normal, I wonder if my love of ice cream, cookies and candy will still kill me. Certainly, the article suggests that the more you can limit your sugar intake, the better. Something to think about.....

I'm lucky that my sweet tooth seems to have gone away since menopause. I can eat one cookie and be done now.

Fascinating article on sugar. I love baking for my family, and the article has certainly given me a lot to think about in terms of how much is too much. Even fruit juices are suspect. (I don't drink them myself, but I always have them around for my boys since I don't buy soft drinks.) But I think I'll wait until after Easter to give this any serious thought.

i have the sweet tooth problem combined with a sweet toothed husband who rides SO much that he's constantly hungry. So he buys all this candy!
the good news is just this week the dentist told him to stop it. so maybe I can be in my home without the constant challenge of dishes of candy everywhere.
