“Sugar is poison” is an absolutely insane claim to make
- lithocarpus 1y agoThe dose makes the poison, and with refined sugar the dose required to be harmful is quite small compared to sugar embedded in while fruits.
- Catbert59 1y agoI prefer calling it "Hidden sugar is poison for your soul and body". If you are aware of it you can avoid it.
- pjmorris 1y agoThe claim seemed less overblown to me after watching 'Sugar: The Bitter Truth' by Robert Lustig, MD [0]. [0] https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=dBnniua6-oM&t=8s https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=dBnniua6-oM&t=8s
