Finally, a very sane analysis of what sugar does in your body. Robert Lustig, who is most famous for saying “Sugar is toxic,” lays out the case in a more sensible, less sloganistic fashion by saying that the fructose in sugar can be toxic if consumed chronically in large amounts or with an excess of calories. If you have low calorie consumption the fructose will not be converted to fat in the liver, which is the real problem. Is that so hard to say, instead of the misleading, shrill, blanket statement, “Sugar is toxic”?
