   Hi, Denis!  Recently you wrote in a message to All:   
      
   DM>  What, if east sugar every day?   
        |What if I eat sugar every day?   
        |"east" = a map or compass direction.  "East or west, home is best."   
      
   DM>  Not much, but 100 gramms.   
                          |grams [esp. US] or grammes [esp. UK]   
      
      
               That's 1/2 cup, or four ounces by volume, or about 125 ml.  It may   
   not seem like much... but here's what my NUTRITION ALMANAC says:   
      
      
    Sugar   
      Beet or cane, granulated   
      
    1 c.   
    200 g   
    770 calories   
      [if you want that in gigajoules or something you're on your own ;-)]   
    protein 0 g   
    fat 0 g   
    carbohydrate 199.0 g   
    calcium 10 mg   
    magnesium 1.0 mg   
    phosphorus 2.0 mg   
    potassium 6.0 mg   
      
      
               IOW, table sugar consists almost entirely of refined carbohydrate.   
   While I don't claim to be an expert in nutrition I use it very sparingly.  :-)
