Meowwww! You posted a giant article about the dangers of sugar on an internet board that espouses moderation and dietary choices focused primarily on calorie consumption. You're surprised you got responses?
I'm sure you meant to enlighten the masses, but you really can't post something on the internet and think people are not going to react. Next person might say we shouldn't eat cookies ever or eat meat or eat flour. Same thing would happen.
*kitten* you, you *kitten* *kitten*! What is this *kitten*? *kitten*!

(No, I didn't.)
(I obviously like my cookies.)

Nobody is offended. (I don’t think?) The thing with studies like this is that they don’t apply to me, and probably not to a lot of us who use MFP. I don’t drink sugary drinks regularly because of too many calories. I drink them occasionally because my everything-in-moderation diet includes pizza and popcorn and both are even better with soda. I don’t believe that my occasional Coke will shorten my life, risk my health, raise my glucose level in a dangerous way, etc. Nor will the refined sugar I eat sometimes.

There is simply no safe amount of refined sugar. There is nothing you can do that will have a more direct and quicker improvement on your body that stopping all sugar intake. It has zero nutritional value, and will absolutely f' up your blood sugar levels. I quit sugar cold turkey 3 months ago. My A1C has dropped from 8.8 to 5.8. I am off all diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure meds. I'm down 54 pounds since Thanksgiving.
that post really doesnt make sense.
In fact refined sugar In MODERATION, IN CONTEXT OF OVERALL APPROPRIATE CALORIE AND NUTRITION DIET is fine for almost everyone
and if they are not diabetic it wont mess up their blood sugar levels, since they have a functioning insulin producing pancreas
Key words - moderation and context.
obviously if you are diabetic the amount you should consume is less than the general population - but it still isnt zero - so, 'no amount is safe' is still wrong.
and obviously for diabetics, never having any refined sugar could be fatal - how do you think hypo's are treated?
with quick acting sugar. I guess one could use non refined source like honey straight from the hive - but most people's go-to is jelly babies or sugar drink - you know, things more easily accessible for more people in in more real life situations

I dont think anyone was offended (except you perhaps, going by above post)
they were just discussing the post you posted - that is a good thing isnt it?
civilly, of course
I am one who think it doesnt hurt you - of course in moderation, like all things.
Although I rarely drink sugar soda myself, because not worth the calories to me and diet versions are so readily available.
and yes of course sugar sodas raise your blood sugar levels - short term in non diabetics, until their pancreas kicks in with insulin.
of course people with medical conditions - diabetes obviously, or fatty liver in your case, might need to drink even less or drink diet versions nearly all the time (if they choose to drink soda) - but that isn't everyone
