Sugar should be controlled 'like tobacco and alcohol' | Mail Online

Sugar not as nice as was previously thought...

Apparently this 'harmless' substance kills 35 million deaths worldwide. And can be found in all blatantly sugary foods such as mars bars, coke and sweets...

Ban it I say, Ban it.

Or just use it moderation perhaps?

if it "kills 35 million deaths" then its a lifesaver.... we should all be mainlining it !!!!!

Would be interesting to see how it would be done, could you be charged in possession of a Danish Pastry, what about donoughts coppers will be well screwed.

Thats the whole problem with drugs and so on - everything can kill you. Pure oxygen can, in the right circumstances, result in death, even normal air can, organic vegan food can still make you fat if you eat too much of it. Most homeopathic remedies are, in fact, poisons, just very diluted down.

And in any case, I thought we were worried about the future pension burden of an increasingly old population. We should be encouraging people to die younger!

The Mail staff are still rummaging through the waste bins of American newsrooms I see.

"Sugar 'is toxic and must be regulated just like cigarettes" i.e. not regulated at all, just taxed to fuck whilst users are forced to stand outside!

None story, the stuff the mail thrives on!

I remember reading about a couple of experts who believed that refined sugar was effectively a metabolic poison and another article about people being removing sugar and caffeine from their diets to control serious psychological issues like bipolar disorder without the use of drugs. I don't eat the shit myself, so can't really comment.

Bet you do. Unless you are some sort of yoghurt knitting Gaia worshipping mega Vegan you will be ingesting the stuff in any amount of stuff.

Of course if you are a YKGWMV then maybe not.

the things to watch out for are "low fat" options normally these are laced with sugar to enhance the taste lost by taking out the fat. It is quite easy to significantly cut down on processed sugar, avoiding processed foods is the main one.

Most homeopathic remedies are in fact bollocks.
