sometimes.. a professional hazzard really.

I havent conciously added a spoon of sugar or a packet of sugar or said to anything in years...

Now.. sometimes you have to make a maple creme brullee.. isnt that why i buy rALA in the first place?

Sure. I had two pieces of cherry pie for thanksgiving. I had junior mints at the movie theatre today...the whole box. You know what? I still look the same. My abs haven't left my sight in 3 years. Granted this was Thanksgiving weekend and the day I had the candy was my cheat day, but there is no reason a little bit of sugar is going to deter you from you goals.

or only sweetners?

Many artificial sweetners get a bad rap, but some investigation proves otherwise with some of them. Take Xylitol for instance, xylitol is a truly amazing substance. In addition to its cavity-preventive qualities, one controlled study associated its use with a re-growth of dental enamel, in effect reversing and healing existing cavities. Another study showed that breast-fed children whose mothers chewed xylitol gum during their pregnancies had less cavities than children of mothers who had fluoride treatments.

And it doesn't end there. When it is used as an intranasal spray, xylitol can offer protection against ear and sinus infections by preventing bacteria from adhering to the cells lining the nose and sinuses. It also stimulates the body's drainage system in the back of the nose where bacteria often accumulate.

Never never never. I avoid it as much as I can. Maybe consume (besides my post workout shake) about 10 grams per day max.

If you mean strictly sucrose, then I don't eat it unless it's in a cheat food, which are pretty rare. I do use dextrose in my PWO shake, though, which is damn close to sucrose.

I eat a big ol scoop of 100% dextrose in every PWO shake. Hard to argue that dextrose isn't sugar, so yes I eat sugar 4 times a week plus the sugar in my skittles on cheat day.

i used malto in my PWO and my Preworkout, but any other time, sugar is a nono.

And i did alot of reading on aspartame and sucralose (about the history of the legistration and the FDA approval, and how/who got it FDA approved) i try to stay away from the sweetners, not totally but not as much as i used too.

Research shows that "aspartame poisioning" has been mis treated as gaves disease. Crazy.

sugar and cocaine have similar chemilcal structure

Funny stuff. Amazing how much effort people with an agenda will go to make an argument sound credible to the laity.

The psychoactive properties of cocaine come from the tropane alklaloid in the molecule. Sugar has no nitrogen in it, no alkaloid groups, and no psychoactive properties that operate in anything like the same way cocaine's effects do.

Sucrose = C12H22O11
Cocaine = C17H21NO4

Similar chemical structure, offered in the context of physiological/psychological consequences. LOL at that.
