    Additionaly, sugar of anykind is rarely consumed in a vacumn. It is usually part of a meal with fiber, fat and protein. Not always, but usually.

    this is the only part where I would disagree, at least in the Standard American Diet (SAD). Most Americans keep a sugar to fiber ratio of anywhere between 12:1 and 18:1, when in reality it should be equal. I aim for under 5:1 which, depending on my day, may even permit a can of soda.

    Most days I'm well under 3:1, but this isn't about me except I've been testing this idea for a while. Whenever I follow it faithfully, I lose weight almost effortlessly. If I slack off and go back on the SAD (which never goes full-blown, but even at half-way) I gain weight.

    I am also considerably more active than most people (all day kind of active).
