Is keeping an old family recipe book a waste of time?

Question

I have an old family recipe book that was hand written. There is an entire chapter dedicated to cakes, cookies, pies, brownies and a recipe for donuts too.

Now since sugar is on the verge of extinction is keeping a book with dessert recipes in it a waste of time? EVERYONE is cutting out sugar completely since it causes diabetes.

Many people I know are shocked and appalled that sugar is still available for purchase and wonder why it is still allowed.

In the near future there will be no desserts so what should I do with this book? Literally EVERYONE I know is no longer eating any sugar in any form (yes including fruit before someone points it out to me)

ALL forms of sugar are bad for the body. Sugar is the direct cause of Cancer. Doctors use glucose to highlight tumours this is a FACT.

No, especially if you use. Pass it on to other family if you don't..

After my wife's mother passed away, we came into possession of my wife's grandmother's cookbook. Having an obscene amount of spare time, I transcribed it. I treasured it because it illustrated the progression of processed foods into our diets from the middle 1930s to the 70s. Lard just went away. In the 50s, Campbell Soup started the casserole revolution that still lingers today. Even if you don't want to make the desserts, you might want to keep the book as an element of family history and a source of real home cooking.

You must know some odd people. Everyone I know consumes sugar in moderation.

Did all of your relatives that came before you die from diabetes? If not, you should learn something from them: sugar in moderation is not harmful to the average human body.
