The K.I.S.S. ~ Know what you are eating!

Let go of sugar because:

You may not be able to escape the sugar fad. But use it responsibly.

Empower yourself. Know what you are putting in your body. Take care of your body. Treat your body well. "Do you not know that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit, who is in you, whom you have received from God? You are not your own; you were bought at a price. Therefore, honor God with your bodies." ~ 1 Corinthians 6:19-20
