 It's a wonder I didn't lose more than pascal down the commode. They were a
southern thing when I was a kid and could look at a pecan pie without
going into insulin shock. By the time they spread I was past sugar as an
essential food group.
 

 This is interesting! Have you, like me, become increasingly sensitive to sugar as you grew older?
 When I was young, I could drink enormous amounts of Coca Cola nad enjoy it. Today it is not longer possible. At most, I can drink 15-20 cl on a hot summer day, and that's about it.
 Same with chocolate. I can eat 3-4 small pieces, and then I'm full.

Looking at my father who is 32 years older, I think the pattern holds, although at times, he can eat way more candy than I can. His doctors has called him naughty due to elevated blood sugar levels, so he had to cut down.
The other week the doctor called him out for an increase in cholesterol, and suggested a more vegetarian diet. My father told him that's never gonna happen, so the doctor sighed and gave him some medicine instead. End result: happy patient! ;)
