There is too much refined sugar in our day to day lives, and although it tastes wonderful it is not good for you. It causes a lot of inflammation in the body, and suppresses the immune system.

It is even better when you have the ability to pick your own salad ingredients. I am blessed to have a beautiful garden to harvest my salad greens and green onions.

I always try different diets/ways of eating (within reason), so I have first hand knowledge of what it does to your body.
