Sugar Should Be Regulated As Toxin |
"A spoonful of sugar might make the medicine go down. But it also makes blood pressure and cholesterol go up, along with your risk for liver failure, obesity, heart disease and diabetes.
Sugar and other sweeteners are, in fact, so toxic to the human body that they should be regulated as strictly as alcohol by governments worldwide, according to a commentary in the current issue of the journal Nature by researchers at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF)."

I've known for some time how bad sugar is for health but this is crazy, imagine if it was strictly regulated? I mean our entire society is just about built on a sugar high..

Humans are a carbon based life form.
Sugar is a form of edible/digestable carbon.
Starch is nothing more than a few sugar molecules joined together.

I cut sugar out of my diet and have already lost six pounds. Examine a Fatty's diet and what is the number one thing they eat? Sugar.

Nothing wrong with sugar. Just like salt, in reasonable amounts, it's simply an enjoyable taste.
The problem is, just like salt, we add it to everything. People get something between 6 to 12 ounces (depending upon age and gender) of added sugar a day in their diets. WTF? Most of it thru drinks and chocolate. Waaaaaay too much.
Start drinking water instead of soda or sport/energy drinks...and most of the problem is gone.

very true
regulations on sugar seems better than regulations on fat people.
