Take some time to read Gary Taubes’ article entitled Is Sugar Toxic? that was recently published in the NYTimes Magazine online:
“The question, then, isn’t whether high-fructose corn syrup is worse than sugar; it’s what do they do to us, and how do they do it? The conventional wisdom has long been that the worst that can be said about sugars of any kind is that they cause tooth decay and represent “empty calories” that we eat in excess because they taste so good.”
