Now let’s talk about sugar.
One of the most irresistible temptations of modern life is a cup of milk tea or a slice of cake. That first sip or bite can feel euphoric — almost intoxicating. But this happiness is built on the expense of long-term health.
I have a childhood friend who used to drink milk tea and eat desserts every day. She often said, “Life is short — eat whatever you want.”
