The known fraud? Sure, look him up.

  Would you care to elaborate on that? Googling "dr lustig fraud" brings up mostly what looks like fabricated "debunking" articles from things like "The Scam Report".

    There is no difference between glucose in sugar and glucose in starch, except that starch molecules are useless to the body when they get into the blood. People whose livers are damaged have some difficulty processing fructose, but that is not the sugar's fault. Dr. Lustig has made a name for himself by demonizing sugar. I do not believe that sugar is the demon it's commonly made out to be.

    "Googling it brings up things I don't like so I'll call them fabricated". What is fabricated about it exactly? This is a man who directly lies all the time. He claims "sugar is toxic" and "sugar is poison". These are both outright lies, and not claims any respected scientist would make. The data doesn't even support his modest claims, much less his poison lies. http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/01/29/the-bitter-truth-about-fructose-alarmism/ http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/01/29/the-bitter-truth-ab...

  Enlighten me. Otherwise I'll file this under "baseless ad hominem", as I found him rather instructive till now.
