Sugar's Malicious Intent

Recent discoveries have shone light on new, more incriminating evidence against the side effects of sugar. Dr. Robert Lustig from the UCHD says that sugar is the number one cause of Type 2 Diabetes and obesity. The percentage of overweight or obese adults has increased from an already dreadful 56% to 61% from 1995 to 2008 (Australian Bureau of Statistics). The big question is, what is causing these statistics to rise? It is vital to answer this question in order to resolve a potentially genocidal issue.

High Fructose Corn Syrup is a substance added to a huge proportion of non-organic foods that humans consume everyday. It is in pie, pizza, bread and most relevant to the matter at hand, soft drinks. Soft drinks, according to Dr. Lustig, are the main perpetrators in the sucrose epidemic. Serving sizes have increased, moreover making intakes of sugar higher.

It is unproven as to whether sugar is an addictive chemical or not, however, experts around the world, including Lustig, agree that it is poisonous and that the dangerous level at which HFCS is being exploited must decrease, or else the world may face a new breed of plague.

Here is Dr. Robert Lustig giving an informative lecture about the dangers of sugar:
