In the end, cane sugar is not that bad for you - neither is HFCS. It is the quatities of both that we consume that make them so bad. And, it is so easy not to do so. Buy Stevia instead of sugar, equal, slenda, etc. Also, try green tea with Stevia - I'd say drink unsweetened tea, but that is just not Southern

As for what not to eat - the closer you can get to home grown veggies the better. Yes, almost anything will have the fertilizer and insecticides on and in them, but there is nothing you can do about that short of growing them yourself.
