NYT Article: Is Sugar Toxic?

Didn't see this anywhere, my mistake if it was already posted.

The articles gets pretty technical into how sugars, and specifically fructose in HFCS and table sugar (sucrose) both could be contributing to obesity and type 2 diabetes beyond the calories they contribute, but could be hurting metabolism process itself.

everyone should read this article! It totally schools you on the difference between sugar as an additive and naturally occurring sugars in fruits and veg.

It's a great article! But even better, make the time to watch the YouTube of Lustig's lecture--you'll walk away from that with a very different attitude about sugar!

There is never a doubt in my mind that refined sugars are bad. Very bad.
