Definitely food for thought in that article.
It's also true that everyone who drinks milk, dies.
Fake sugar is even worse. It fools the brain into thinking the body needs more.

Yes, that is definitely true, and I can prove it with members of my family. So sad.
Almost without exception, recent writings on the danger of too much sugar in a person's diet, will not, repeat not, give mention to Dr. Robert Atkins, who in the 1960s gave one of the first warnings of the danger of sugar. The medical community to this day will seldom give him credit for his research. Remember too, it was your Federal government that identified fat intake as the culprit in poor diet and weight gain. Or was it climate change.

I think this ranks right up there with the current Fake News phenomenon giving just one side of an argument. One of the best examples of biased research was the sugar vs. saccharine flap of the 1970's.
Morrison1116 in his comment that everyone who drinks milk dies shows part of the inaccuracy. I would expand that to suggest that life is 100% fatal; the only solution to that problem is not to live.
Been drinking milk for 73 years and I ain't dead.
And then my mother who used two teaspoons of sugar in each cup of coffee, three or four cups in the morning, and ate lots of sugar filled desserts and candy, lived a healthy life to the age of 95. She was not the least bit obese and only lost one tooth in all those years. Go figure.
Not all smokers die of heart or lung disease but it is a good start for many.
I assume when the author says "sugar", they means "sucrose". There are many chemical forms of sugar. Sucrose, lactose, fructose, glucose. Fact: the sole source of energy for the brain is glucose so without this sugar we could not function or think (or all be politicians). Sucrose is a natural sugar that we have come to love and enjoy. Sadly it is added to so many things to entice our taste senses and make us want to buy and consume them. Everything in moderation.
the entire food industry is hoping you'll ignore the article. sugar makes food taste better. it makes food sell, if you die sometime ion the future so what. there is always coming along to take your place. moderation has no place in a consumer society.

Your comment is what some boxing commentators have called a combination foul.
1. You snuck in a volatile political opinion (denying global warming) into a discussion that is not in the Attic, where such issues are contested.
2. You snidely implied that the government, which has complicity in the mistaken and harmful information about sugar consumption, cannot be trusted on any matter, such as apparently anything that contradicts your belief that global warming is a hoax. This is an abject non sequitur. If it were not, then no person or institution would be a credible source on anything, because nothing and no one is always right.
3. Global warming is not an invention of the government's. It is the consensus of an overwhelming majority of climate scientists, corroborated by other scientists, like marine biologists, whose work is affected by climate change. The deniers of this are mostly a very small number of scientists who are funded by the fossil fuel industry, a few genuine intellectual dissenters, like Murry Salby, and millions of Republican voters who learned everything they know about it from right wing media.
4. The federal government did not author the anti-fat campaign, but promoted it based on false conclusions developed and promoted by the sugar industry.
The key word is MODERATION. Any healthy man or woman can enjoy any food including milk, butter, salami pork and beef, ice cream, cakes, etc...etc...and enjoy life and its vast repertory of goodies without any complication. Just be moderate and you will be fit and happy. Forget about things today you are told are healthy and tomorrow you find out somebody else is telling you the contrary. Avoid the substitutes; nothing can substitute mother nature and by the way, avoid pharmaceutical. Don't go for it just to get rid of a tolerable discomfort... your system can take care of it. Remember you are putting chemicals in your body and ALL OF THEM have second effect. Off course if your Doctor found that you are really sick there is not much choice...
