“As if sucrose was a health food.”
I know, it’s funny, people are drinking Mexi-Cokes and retro 7Up and acting all virtuous about it.
If they taste better, great, but it is just funny. In the 80s particularly sugar was EVIL.
Same thing with butter, you’d get the eye roll if you used butter. The holy used margarine. Now it’s reversed.
I think it’s all pretty much irrelevant. Eat/drink what you like.
It’s far from irrelevant. The astonishing increase in obesity and diabetes has a cause, and the universe of possible causes excludes everything but diet and physical activity. So diet is a pretty good place to look for the cause. This is worth looking into and is extremely interesting besides. The Taubes article I linked to is a decent place to start. If you’d rather watch, there are plenty of lectures by Taubes and Lustic on YouTube.
