Ice cream is not that bad. Even diabetics can have a little ice cream. Knock yourself out  We can't eat salads everyday. My comfort food is a good cheeseburger and fries.

I am probably a little different than some others with respect to what I am eating right now and I certainly don't intend to place something on anyone else who might have a different diet.

My rationale is pretty simple. I have had health issues and I continue to have a few, some of them potentially life threatening. There's no way around the fact that they have proven sugar and the wrong fats, lack of exercise are bad for us, so I'm trying to help my body help itself after learning what over abundance of the wrong foods can do.

So then I had to ask. How much sugar is bad for me? I have never seen a scientific study that says moderate amounts of processed sugar are healthy. Never seen a study to indicate moderate amounts of sugar are inert or neutral either. Not that they may not be. I can't honestly say *in answering this for myself* that any amount of processed sugar is really a good thing.  Naturals sugars are different in how the body processes them. We could draw similar conclusions about bread which is often not much like real bread when they are finished with it concerning white bread. I hear Ezekiel or similar bread is good for us.

They also say alcohol is bad for us. There are even labels for pregnant women to avoid it here in the US. Yet some of us have no issue drinking a beer. 

My conclusion so far is that these things are not necessarily "noticably" bad for us in small quantities. I have heard very small amounts of things like poisons will not kill us, but are still not good for us..0003 percent arsenic you might not notice. When it comes to processed sugar and high carbs though I think many of us are getting a lot more of it than we might realize in our food.

I'm not a food scientist, but I would be willing to wager there is possibly a cumulative effect of these things over time. This is why I think older people are beginning to be more prone to some of the effects of it, because they have been accumulating it for years and years.

In any case, as the steward of my body, I can't be asking for healing prayer and expect God to heal me if I'm eating unhealthy food. I want to be doing everything I am capable of doing for my health. It would be like me asking God to cure me of alcoholism while I'm walking out of the bar with a six pack. Those are MY reasons for it. Not attempting to place it on anyone who doesn't feel they own it. God may also decide to take me regardless. If that happens it can't be said I wasn't doing everything I could to be well. Make sense?
