Researchers: Sugar Is As Toxic As Alcohol, Government Should Regulate

Some scientists are saying sugar is so toxic, with health effects similar to alcohol, that the government should regulate it.

FOX News Radio’s Lilian Woo reports:

Audio clip:

Researchers from the University of California, claiming sugar is a toxic substance which not only adds to the global obesity pandemic, but critically alters hormones and metabolism and causes significant damage to the liver, where they say fructose is processed much the way alcohol is.  In the journal “Nature” article, scientists saying sugar consumption contributes to 35 million deaths a year.  They’re recommending measures, such as taxes, to control access.  But some say the government should stay out of the sugar business.

(Dixon) “You don’t have a car accident because you had too many popsicles.”

…Nutritionist Pat Dixon.  The beverage industry arguing that a variety of factors contribute to health conditions.

    Lustig and all of his ilk are charlatans and criminals who deliberately commit scientific fraud. They use studies that ignore the role of infection, in order to falsely scapegoat other peoples' lifestyles, and inflict their own on everyone. They conspire to keep the public ignorant of even the most elementary facts, such as that the death rates from heart disease have steadily declined ever since the 1960s, in order to deceive the public that there's a public health crisis, and that submitting to their quackery is the remedy.

    Their fanatical, cult-like ideology is founded on the pseudo-science of the Third Reich. The difference is that the Nazis could hide behind the excuse of ignorance, while these criminals CANNOT!

    They get their funding from the government. For the government to commit fraud to deprive us of our liberties is automatically a violation of our Constitutional rights to the equal protection of the laws, just as much as if it purposely threw innocent people in prison. And for the government to spread lies about phony health dangers is terrorism, no different from calling in phony bomb threats.
