My grandma used to tell me that if I ate raw sugar I'd get worms in my stomach. My older cousin who I looked up to, even agreed with her.. so I think she got the same story when she was my age.
I guess I didn't care very much, because in order for me to stop eating the sugar, they switched the sugar and salt jars on me. Bleh.. I don't think I've ever eatten raw sugar since. XP
