the-exercist:NopeNo no no no noSugar does not give you cancer or emphysema. Sugar does not negatively impact the health of the people around you. To compare cigarettes to sugar is a gross overstatement that has no basis in fact - These are apples and oranges. This whole story of “lab rats preferred sugar over cocaine” is a myth in the science world that’s been so twisted and distorted that it is no longer representative of its actual findings. I highly recommend reading this comic about Rat Park in order to better understand it. This research doesn’t simply come down to “Rats found sugar to be more addictive than cocaine,” it’s far more complex than that. Sugar has been shown to be addictive, yes. But so is caffeine. If we’re looking at behavior instead of the food itself, even “healthy” options can be addictive. Maintaining an addiction is not the best option, but it can remain part of a healthy, balanced diet for many people. For most, these is no reason to ever “detox” from sugar or completely cut it out. Such steps are only necessary in severe cases where a person’s doctor has deemed them at risk. Considering that your body literally needs sugar in order to function, images like this are nothing more than a scare tactic. The fact that sugar causes your body to produce insulin?  And can increase your fat storage? None of these things is inherently bad or scary! Your body is meant to behave that way! You need to do these things in order to live! To list “fat storage” as an effect that’s on par with cancer-causing cigarettes - I can’t even deal with that level of pettiness and hatefulness, it’s ridiculous. There have been numerous criticisms published about the movie Fed Up, and I highly recommend reading them. This film doesn’t have all the answers, and it’s not going to cover everything about sugar. To take Fed Up as gospel without doing further research is a mistake. -- source link
