Quitting sugar is amazing. It's been years since I quit sugar. I don't need sweets anymore. The taste of sugar makes me sick. I drink coffee or tea with milk instead of sugar, and this is enough. I am living like my ancestors. Highly recommend quitting sugar. You will start tasting the sweet in natural products and will never want sugar anymore.

>What you're saying is akin to saying that hemlock isn't as bad for you if you drink it in its natural state as opposed to a refined form.

I don't believe it's as simple as that, no. Because of what I stated before. Again, you are too dogmatic and allow for no unknown variables. I can't do that.

But I do get the mindset and the black and white thinking. You might be right, but I can't say that at this time.

It was a good discussion.

Sugar is either bad for you or it's not. It's a question with a binary answer. It can't be good for you and bad for you, depending on whether you eat it with other food.

You're a victim of your black and white thinking. Sugar is indeed good for you goofus. But too much isn't.

No, I leave it open that eating it a more natural state, the bad effects can be mitigated, as I said.

I'm done (really for real) but it was a good discussion (unless you want to take it outside dude).

No carbohydrates (sugars) are good for you. They are a metabolic poison. Unfortunately it's not possible to consume zero carbohydrates, so every single gram that can be avoided is that much less poison consumed. Keeping it to less than 5% of your caloric intake seems to be good enough. That would be 50 grams of carbohydrates on a 2,000 calorie diet.

Compounds are what they are, no matter what combination they're in. Water is water, whether it's by itself or in orange juice. Sugar is sugar, whether its by itself or in orange juice, honey, an apple, or a grape. It's still sugar. It is still carried into the bloodstream where it triggers an insulin response, is metabolized in the liver to triglycerides, and is deposited in adipose tissue via insulin. That's the part that's bad for you. There is nothing that can stop that except not eating carbohydrates.
