I think it's because it's common sense that eating far too much sugar can be bad.
It's not so much common sense that eating more than 3 oz of processed and/or grilled meat
would pose a higher cancer risk.
Anything in large quantities is toxic. Water can kill you...etc.0 -
Maybe because Lustig is a known fear mongerer?
Here is the full text of the study they reference in the article
Consumption of Fructose and High Fructose Corn Syrup Increase Postprandial Triglycerides, LDL-Cholesterol, and Apolipoprotein-B in Young Men and Women. The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism August 17, 2011 jc.2011-1251

My main takeaway from the study was maybe it's not that great of an idea to consume 25% of your daily cals in HFCS if you're sedentary and eating at maintenance or above. However there is a huge confounder in that in the outpatient phase of the study when they were consuming 25% of their cals in sugar, they ate ad lib, so it's possible they were chowing down on foods with lots of trans fats or stuff like that that could have lead to the elevated blood markers.
If we look at studies such as this one, which had intake much more controlled, subjects ate 43% of their daily cals in sucrose which is basically the same as HFCS and LDL decreased, however they were also eating in a deficit.

"Dr. Robert Lustig, a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, believes the high amount of sugar in the American diet, much of it in processed foods, is killing us."
OK, that does not sounds crazy to me. I have to agree with that.
"And as Dr. Sanjay Gupta reports, new scientific research seems to support his theory that sugar is toxic, including some linking the excess ingestion of sugars to heart disease."
That is widely believed. Ever seen Food Matters?
I don't understand the haters who posted before me. I have never heard of this Lustig guy but sounds like he is on the right path.0 -
I am going to pass out soon just ate 25g of sugar in my oats. Everything can kill us even organic apples, bananas and meats.0

Classic, first arguing against something that no one brought up, then citing the extreme to do so.0
