It’s the Sugar, Folks
3rd March 2013
Mark Bittman, the official Food Fascist for the New York Times, explains why all you Little People are a bunch of idiots about food.
A study published in the Feb. 27 issue of the journal PLoS One links increased consumption of sugar with increased rates of diabetes by examining the data on sugar availability and the rate of diabetes in 175 countries over the past decade. And after accounting for many other factors, the researchers found that increased sugar in a population’s food supply was linked to higher diabetes rates independent of rates of obesity.
In other words, according to this study, it’s not just obesity that can cause diabetes: sugar can cause it, too, irrespective of obesity. And obesity does not always lead to diabetes.
The study demonstrates this with the same level of confidence that linked cigarettes and lung cancer in the 1960s. As Rob Lustig, one of the study’s authors and a pediatric endocrinologist at the University of California, San Francisco, said to me, “You could not enact a real-world study that would be more conclusive than this one.”
THE SCIENCE IS IN! GLOBAL WARMING TOXIC SUGAR IS REAL! HIDE YOUR CHILDREN! OR AT LEAST SEND THEM TO A GOVERNMENT SCHOOL WHERE THEY WILL BE FED ACCORDING TO GOVERNMENT GUIDELINES AND THEREBY SAVED FROM THEIR STUPID PARENTS!
But as Lustig says, “This study is proof enough that sugar is toxic. Now it’s time to do something about it.”
The next steps are obvious, logical, clear and up to the Food and Drug Administration.
