"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)."
http://news.yahoo.com/sugar-regulated-toxin-researchers-180605186.html
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.

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.

I think sugar is addictive. If I don't eat sugar, I have no desire to eat sugar. I go through the holidays and eat a bunch of sugar, and I crave sugar for 10 days after I have my last sweet.

Oh I agree totally.
We should get involved with regulating other unsafe activities too, such as contact sports, "risky" hobbies like skydiving, hang-gliding, rock climbing, etc.
Further, there should be mandatory breathalyzers installed on all vehicles that you have to pass before the vehicle's electrical system will let you start it up and all vehicles sold should be limited to a maximum speed of 65MPH electronically.
In fact, driving by itself is just dangerous regardless of how slowly you do it, there should simply be regulation of the numbers of miles per year driven so as to lower insurance costs from injuries from vehicle accidents.
After all, we're all paying for it right? Might as well make sure that nobody costs everyone else unfairly because they were so shortsighted to engage in an activity that was dangerous or might lead to medical costs...

1./ wrong and right, any diet is full of sugar if you consume a lot of it.
2./ True, they are metabolized into sugar, difference is that unrefined carbs are metabolized much slower which allows you to use the sugar rather than it be stored as fat.
3./ This is true and too much of any sugar is not good. When you eat the entire fruit though the fiber from the fruit helps reduce the glycemic spike as opposed to drinking only the juice for example.

From what Ive seen the difference is the fiber. Fruit sugar combined with the natural fiber in the fruit will be treated differently by the body than fruit sugar in a processed fruit juice for example.
Sugar is always a carb...a carb is not always a sugar. Its like a square-rectangle thing.

The sugary soft drinks are pretty extreme. I think its addictive and you dont realze how sweet they taste when you drink them regularly.
Also, they are kinda nasty - coke, 7up..its kind of gross when i see people drinking carbonated beverages out of the can.

A pure meat diet would be ultra low in any kind of sugar.
This is bad, though, because sugar is a necessity for regular body chemistry to be maintained.

Hard to be happy when;
1./ You have to pay over 1k a month for pharmaceutical drugs that allow you to stay alive and eat your shitty diet
2./ You are tired and sick all the time due to said diet and pharmaceuticals
3./ You have any range of side effects due to pharmaceuticals
4./ One of those side effects is Erectile Dysfunction
Moral of the story, why not choose to be healthy and happy for the rest of your life?

Sugar is great if you know how to use it.
Instant energy, ready to burn.

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.
The other problem with Sugar and Salt is that its Processed.
Processed Sugar and Iodized Salt are terrible for you.
If you choose to use either, use Raw Sugar and Sea Salt

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.

Hard to be happy when;
1./ You have to pay over 1k a month for pharmaceutical drugs that allow you to stay alive and eat your shitty diet
2./ You are tired and sick all the time due to said diet and pharmaceuticals
3./ You have any range of side effects due to pharmaceuticals
4./ One of those side effects is Erectile Dysfunction
Moral of the story, why not choose to be healthy and happy for the rest of your life?
You realize that you will get old, sick, dependent on medication, and suffering from their side effects, eventually? And then you will die. Nothing you eat or don't eat will change that.

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)."
Stupid. (not you this time Cori - the researchers)
Anything taken to excess can and usually will become toxic.
