    This was an interesting video that would be quite useful as a learning aid in classrooms. Although our body needs sugar in order to keep functioning and to give us energy, too much has proven time and time again that it can cause harm in our system. Many foods have natural sugars in them; Fructose found in fruits, Maltose found in beer and other alcoholic beverages, but it's interesting how companies put more sugar in them which is probably one of the reasons why it contributes to the increase in certain illnesses and diseases such as diabetes.

    This was an interesting read. Sports and exercise are commonly perceived as an activity that is purely beneficial for ones health, failing to realise that if it's done in excess it can prove to be quite dangerous. Of course with the proper prepation and planning this can be done in a fashion that reduces these health risks, such as; inflammation, broken bones, stress .etc., even for something like long-distance running. As usual; you gotta take everything in moderation.
