Freaks come out of the woodwork when they hear the word sugar :huh:
Joanne, you definitely have balls starting a thread about sugar
I agree with you Joanne, added sugar is toxic. If someone has scientific proof to back up that it's not, I would honestly love to see it. Thank you
That's not how proof works. You don't make a claim and then require others to disprove it as you are doing above.
For example if I claim that oranges will eventually cause flaming hemorrhoids, it's my burden to prove it. It is not your burden to disprove it.
Great Minds! :drinker:0 -
What do I look like??
I go by what I read ... for example: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/surprising-reasons-give-sugar/story?id=21659361
So what exactly is out there in the internet world that states sugar is okay? Believe me, I want it to be okay!!!0 -

Does that honestly hit you as a serious article on nutrition?0 -
I just remembered something.
A friend of mine on FB said to me, why eat a carrot? Eat a cookie. It has the same amount of sugar and it taste better. So I thought to myself. What am I getting vitamin and antioxidant wise from the cookie? Nada. I actually feel good after eating a carrot whereas I feel sluggish from a cookie.
So, there you have it. That was my scientific experiment. I could be a scientist!!!:bigsmile:0 -

Here's an article by a doctor that claims that microwaves are bad for you.

This is a balanced article on sugar by David Katz, MD. He is the Director of Yale University Prevention Research Centre and provides a good commentary on the subject.

He mentions issues with sugar and palatability (which is a concern especially when you have people in free living scenarios). Clearly, that seems to be the bigger issue than whether sugar is "toxic."0 -

you don't get to make a claim and then tell others to verify or disprove it....the burden is on you to prove that sugar is "toxic"...I will not hold my breath while I wait for you to find said proof.0 -

Is the choice only between cookies and carrots? What if you've already had plenty of carrots for the day? Is one more really going to help?0 -

Who would these freaks be?
Also, the burden of proof lays at the feet of the person making the claim. Do you have anything to support *your* claim?0 -

And the rest of us continue to be successful and eat cookies.
I pity some people.0 -

Nice retreat. If you find something that will actually support your assertions, message me0 -
What is special about "added" as compared to "naturally occurring" sugars? I mean, what differences are there at a molecular level?
They can be different variations of sugars, but you're missing the forest for the trees. To keep sugar in a particular range it's simply easier to drink black coffee over "light & sweet" coffee than it is to cut out foods that naturally contain sugars and lose the other nutrientsas well.
I see the forest just fine. It's others in this discussion who are inches away from one particular tree, staring at it intently and insisting that it is the one and only essential tree to the overall plan of walking through the forest.
Apparently not or there wouldn't have been such a nonsequitor.
That you didn't grasp my analogy doesn't make it inapplicable.
I'll assume that others in this thread understood it just fine.0 -

Not really - it's all she does. It's like she is a robot programmed to spam misinformation as often as possible.0 -
Sugar, ah, honey, honey
You are my candy girl
And you got me wanting you
