processed sugar has no nutritional value whatsoever
It is a carbohydrate, which is a nutrient. It has calories, which is a characteristic of a nutrient.

It is noteworthy that none of the links or evidence you provided come from the places you said I should look. While you're there, try to assess the difference in rat and human studies ... actual tests and metadata reviews ... and what is truly applicable to the human body. Look for words such as "might" and "may" in the abstract since those are not indicators of proof.
that is not my link. nothing is 'proved', evidence or findings can still only suggest an outcome so might or may are standard terminiology in journals, im not sure i get your point there.

The blog actually blames obesity, not the sugars directly. Again, science matters. Even the WHO's logic for limiting refined sugars isn't because they are inherently bad it is because of the caloric impact.
I actually posted this link because of the metabolism info on sugar, however I missed where it blamed being fat on anything........and yes the word is fat, pretty it up all you want with the "obese" word it's still plain fat0 -

i posted a video that i thought may be of interest to people on here because it regards health - people are allowed to have their own opinions and form their own evaluation of the evidence presented. it is your bad and comes across as slightly arrogant.

Good Lord. What ever happened to moderation in all things? Foods aren't evil. It's our behavior and the choices that we make that are the problem with those of us who have struggled with fat (or if you prefer, obesity). Refined sugar and white flour and potatoes are not evil if you limit your intake of them and your diet is otherwise full of good food choices. And someone who chooses to use refined sugar or white flour isn't evil for doing so. There's no such thing as the Food Devil, or Food Hell. Why do so many of you people want to make your struggles with your appetites a moral struggle?0

i have not stated in my post to cut it out, i even said i still enjoy refined sugar in moderation - i used the phrase 'cut down'. my title is probably misleading as to what im trying to do here - post a link to a doc i found interesting and thought others might too.

Your claim of not posting a link in this thread comes across as dishonest and wrong. Of course, I can't blame you for wanting to distance yourself from that flawed video.
Let's look at the logic you've presented here ... you "enjoy refined sugar", something you call a poison ... a logic failure.0 -

im not promoting anything, promoting implies that people cant use their own intellect in deciding whether the doc is dumb or not. i thought it might be of interest, if you dont think so thats fine.

Good God! Will you stop the quarrelling! I said; you said; I didn't; yes you did. This is right; no it's wrong; it's my opinion; your opinion doesn't count; you used the wrong word. Are you kindergarten kids or grown-ups! This is supposed to be a discussion, not a fault finding mission.
Someone says something they find interesting or possible helpful to someone else. Someone doesn't like it and feels they need to rebutt it. OK ... say your side of it and leave it at that!

My response was to the content of this whole thread, including multiple posts calling sugar evil, not just your original post.0
