Yes, anything can be toxic in the right quantities. So what was the purpose of your post condemning sugar for being toxic? Or are you just putting it in reverse?

I am pointing out what I stated from the start.

Yes naturally occurring sugar in fruit and vegetables is not likely to cause much harm... However, consuming refined processed sugars, like table sugar or the equivalence found in most modern processed foods in the western diet, let alone soda pop is a pure TOXIN.

Trying to equate it to the naturally occurring sugars in whole foods is flat out distortion or ignorance.

Eat an Apple, or a banana or some strawberries, you are fine... ingest raw table sugar, and you are literally poisoning your body.. its a toxin and its directly related to heart disease. In fact, there is nothing you can do in your life that is going to put you at a higher risk of heart disease than to consume frequent large quantities of refined sugars.

They are toxic to your body and especially your liver and your heart. There is NO stronger link between diet and heart disease than sugar consumption, not a damn one... yet they sell people on the garbage of Saturated fats and other things being the culprit.

Yes, yes, some people win life’s lottery and their genetics allow them to get away with things without major consequence... “My great grandpa smoked 17 packs of cigarettes a day and lived to be 104 years old”... Some people survive being shot in the head too, but that doesn’t mean you go put a gun to your head and pull the trigger.
