So can we put this topic to bed now?

My daughter did not even taste sugar until she started kindergarten. He teacher called me one day and said, I think you better lighten up on the sugar scare. One of my daughter's classmates had a birthday and brought in cupcakes. I had told my daughter that sugar would rot your teeth. Well, it will. My daughter wouldn't eat the cupcakes. To this day, she is a size 2 and never a weight problem. :-)

I can't even start with this

Because.....? If sugar was just found today and had to go through all the FDA approvals, it would fail. It is very bad for all of us.

What specific FDA approvals would it fail?

I home cooked using honey. It's much better for you than white sugar or even brown sugar. But I also cut the sugar in 1/2 of what the recipe called for. Didn't use it very often either. Only on special occasions. Never missed it either.

so... you deliberately set your child up with a bad relationship with food, and you think that's a win?

What specific FDA approvals would it fail?

I think it's clear she knows literally nothing about the FDA approval process.

What ever tests a product has to go through to be approved for human consumption. Not a safe product.

But honey is a safe product? Even though it is made of one molecule of fructose and one molecule of glucose? The same as sucrose (table sugar)?

This is EXACTLY why our life expectancy dropped when we discovered how to refine sugar.

When did that happen?

See. All the info proving the point I was trying to make. None of the work.

Though I'm pretty sure we were refining sugar before the US was founded

All Countries life expectancy went up just not the US.........lately though the US's world ranking has dropped from if I remember correctly, 11th place not too many years ago to 42 or around there.......basically not good comparatively speaking.

Rinse, lather, repeat.

Any chance this is caused by obesity from excess consumption > activity?

That doesn't answer my question at all. I'm asking what specifically is the danger that would cause it to fail the approval process. You must have one or more specific risks you've assessed to make this judgement.

What about new sugar products that come out and pass FDA approval? Agave nectar is relatively new. It goes through a chemical process very similar to the one used to make HFCS from corn. It's not JUST refined sugar, it's SUPER refined sugar, converted to about 90% fructose (whereas the HFCS in food products is only 55% fructose, table sugar is 50/50 glucose/fructose). How did that pass?
