ASA,

Sorry I’ve been MIA for awhile. My Niece and Nephew were hospitalized and they just got released this past weekend. It’s amazing how quickly things can change for the better or for the worse. One moment they were completely sick and now Alhamdulillah they are back to their normal selves.

I was listening to something on the radio today that made me smile so I wanted to share it with you. They were talking about sugar and how the UK is declaring war on it and calling it the new Tobacco. In the midst of their discussion on how sugar is responsible for the prevalence of obesity and diabetes, a comedian in their midst said that women need to stop giving their men diabetes.

One of the anchors asked him to explain and he said that women are always calling their husbands SWEETY, SUGAR, HONEY, PUMPKIN, SUGAR PIE etc and after 20 years of his uncle hearing that from his wife he got diabetes!

Instead, he suggests that women call their loved ones names like FRESH FISH, OKRA, ORANGES etc.

What do you think about sugar? Is it really the enemy? Are fast food companies to blame for making food that tastes really really good because of too much sugar?

More posts coming up in the next few days in sha Allah. So stay tuned!

xoxo,
Nusrah
