That may well be, but I'm new to this weight loss game. Normally I wouldn't listen to such 'nonsense', especially on early morn talk back radio. But the anti-sugar guy seemed to know his stuff, and he didn't advocate a sugar tax.
Sugar growers have a lot of political clout here. The anti-sugar guy's answer to their predictable complaint of, "The only thing we can grow in a tropical climate and get a reasonable return is sugar.", was "You said the same thing when you grew tobacco, before you switched to sugar. There's a huge market for palm seed oil, you could grow that on your already cleared land and get a better return."

Teas? Surely there's no sugar in tea, it's dried leaves
I guess you mean those the 'iced tea' drinks. I tried one, once - awful stuff.
A couple of months ago I came up with the idea of keeping a jug of liquorice tea in the fridge. I've since discovered it's another well known sugar busting tactic Ψ²
