Table sugar is bad, but one spoon of sugar in your coffee once a day isn't going to make you gain 50 lbs. Nor is sucrose/sorbitol/saccharin/Splenda very good for you either. When in doubt, just go w/ limited amounts of the real deal rather than all this Olestra and Nutrasweet crap. Anything that causes "anal leakage" isn't going in MY mouth.
This is why I eat butter, and stay away from margarine. I go through about a stick a month, so I'm pretty moderate.
