Sugar is the least of our problems.

Artificial sweeteners are all deadly neurotoxins, and need to be totally banned.

High fructose corn syrup is also a neurotoxin, and has no legitimate place in the diet.

Cane Suger sweetened softdrinks are the safest, and if used in moderation are no problem at all, as long as you have adequate chromium and vanadium in your diet (usually by supplementation)

We need to control the Taxmen!

Why not just outlaw artificial sweeteners and high fructose corn syrup?

They are the threat to our lives.

How about the EPA do their freaken jobs and STOP big sugar from polluting every damn thing they touch.,
Prior to harvesting, farmers burn their fields stripping off the unused portion of the plant.
Quite something to see thousand acre fields burning. add to the burn the soot and crap that goes in to the water system.
But hey the EPA is doing their best to shut down back yard bar b ques.
Insane.
Whole federal gub mint is horse crap.
