I don’t like labeling sugar “toxic” because I think it’s a misuse of the term, but it should be glaringly obvious that people consume far greater amounts of sugar than what’s been normal for centuries.

Go back 400 years ago, and the majority of our peasant ancestors never ate cane sugar, maybe honey on rare occasions for sweet foods. They also did back breaking work on a daily basis as a matter of survival.

Although to be fair, the average life span then was probably about 45.
