Around the waist looks like a good place. Once the fat is stored, we all know how hard it is to get rid of it.
Sugar is in almost everything we eat in one way or another. From ketchup to bread to milk, sugar is present under different names. These may include fructose, sucrose, high fructose corn syrup, glucose or lactose in the milk. Everything is sugar.
Some foods rich in sugar are concentrated fruit juices, with orange near the top of the list. Also barbecue sauce, biscuits and pastries, and fruity yoghurt. One of the worst foods, especially for children, is raisins. They not only have a very high sugar content but they stick between teeth and can cause cavities. At 12 oz. You can leave soda up to 40 grams of sugar. I know someone says they only drink soda to the diet. It's even worse. But that is another argument.
