Rule # 35 - Eat sweet foods as you find them in nature

In nature, sugars almost always come packaged with fiber, which slows their absorption and gives you a sense of satiety before you've ingested too many calories. That's why you're always better off eating the fruit rather than drinking the juice. (In general, calories taken in liquid form are more fattening because they don't make us feel full. Humans are one of the very few mammals that obtain calories from liquid after weaning.) So don't drink your sweets, and remember: There is no such thing as a healthy soda.
