# 1 Sugar (synthetic and/or non-synthetic)
# 2 Tobacco This from a CDC scientist in a seminar recently. Assuming this as a given, why is it any mystery that the US is the only country in the world where nearly all the poor people are FAT. So...are YOU willing to give up eating poison today and stop with the breads, salad dressings, anything with corn syrup, sodas, etc...much less...quit using tobacco? |

I would think it would be: 1. Sugar 2. Alcohol 3. Tobacco And yes, sugar is poison. And no, you do not need to add it to food. |

So eat nothing but shit tasting food and live forever? Probably not. If sugar, necessary for basic cellular life, is labeled as a "poison", further discussion is futile. |

No MSG, no sugar, no fat, no flavor, no texture and Rosemary, thyme, mint, etc. infused water = throw a sprig of a herb in 5 gallons of water. Maybe the food will improve now that Dr. Tom Frieden has departed. |

The illegality of pot and other drugs used to convince me that the Federal Government doesn't REALLY want to control all of us directly... because if it did, it would be drugging us directly. Instead, it would be offering us mind control spectaculars like annual gladiatorial combat contests, endless programming of our young via popular media, and brainwashing our children in school. ...er...

Alcohol may be abused to the point it is a poison, but that doesn't represent a majority. There are many fit healthy people that regularly consume alcohol moderately. In fact a little alcohol is health benefit and ethanol is commonly used to breakdown materials and release nutrients/medicines locked in indigestible compounds.......and so it is very much embraced by some of the most healthy people too. Recent research: Over a 30-year period, people in Great Britain who drank as few as four pints of strong beer or five large glasses of wine (6.2 ounces each) a week were more likely to have atrophy in their brains than people who did not drink alcohol. And the more people drank, the faster their cognition deteriorated. The specific type of deterioration was hippocampal atrophy, which happens in a part of the brain associated with long-term memory. That kind of deterioration is commonly seen in patients with Alzheimer’s disease. Why this is important: Previous studies suggesting that moderate drinking is associated with reduced dementia or better cognition may not be correct. This study found that moderate drinking had no protective effect on brain health or memory—and, in fact, appeared to be harmful. Moderate drinking also has been thought to reduce the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes—but these new findings suggest that it is a higher-risk activity than previously believed. Previous studies may not have taken into account additional characteristics of moderate drinkers and may therefore have missed the true picture showing harm from moderate alcohol use. Light drinking appears to be alright—for example, up to three small glasses of wine per week…or about two pints of strong beer—because the light drinkers showed no difference in brain function compared with nondrinkers. Danger: Current US guidelines recommending up to one drink a day for women and two for men are too high—that level puts your brain at risk.

No sugar, no fake sugar, super low slow carbs, no booze no nicotine. What else do you want me to give up? You can't have my fat. |

Sugar itself isn't a poison. What makes sugar bad is that it is addictive and is added to many foods in ridiculous quantities.
One you are on the S-train it is hard to get off of. You eventually become a diabetic and your limbs begin to rot off. Our pancreas just want made to handle so much sugar. |

Sugar is food. Like most other foods, too much sugar can be harmful.
Alcohol and nicotine are drugs. Like most drugs, they have a quantifiable lethal dose often expressed as LD50, the dose (in mass of drug per unit mass of subject, e.g. mg/kg) at which half of subjects of a particular species (e.g. rat) die. CORRECTED Sugar has an LD50 of 30 g per kilogram for rats, orally. But I don't believe a rat would consume a lethal dose of sugar even if it could. A typical brief LD50 table for common poisons |

Assuming this as a given, why is it any mystery that the US is the only country in the world where nearly all the These fools have no idea how much single payer (socialized medicine) will completely change their lives. It means handing total power to their diet choices to the Fed-gov. The EPA declares CO2 a pollutant, the CDC declares sugar a poison. Same strategy, different agency. |

About 28 pounds of sugar to kill me. |
What are you feelings on milk?

CSB.
I'll go get a vial of sugar and another one of hydrogen cyanide and see which one ol' boy chooses. 
Not saying the HFCS-all-the-things trend in American lifestyle (conveniently brought to you be government subsidies BTW) is beneficial, but I'm so fucking tires of this constant "public health" handwringing.

I agree it can have incredibly harmful effects and I try not to eat much sugar but as everyone has said poison is a stretch. But I don't care what they call it as long as the FDA, USDA, CDC, et al don't try to ban it.
From a post I made about soda taxes: "Laws in the name of public health and public safety are some of the greatest dangers to our liberty IMHO." I don't agree that sugar is good in the amount it is currently consumed, but that shouldn't be any of the gov's business. |

Not quite. Sugar and starch is the globalist solution to feeding the masses and keeping the sated, sick, and fat. That's why the ADA and all the others still demonize fat and pimp carbs. That's why all the world governments are anti-meat. Sugar is for commies. Quoted:

Sugar is a poison?
Sugar for the brain: the role of glucose in physiological and pathological brain function To much sugar is a bad thing but sugar is not a poison. |
