Day One

I believe that sugar is not only an addiction, but a product that causes many physical ailments. Morgan Spurlock is famous for his "30 Day" experiments. I intend to go 60 days with an experiment entailing no sugar or high fructose corn syrup for 60 days. I will begin with recording my weight, measurements, and physical ailments that I believe are connected to sugar. I will also post a picture of me currently.
