> My conclusion is that your assertion is incorrect. Citation needed. ;) But seriously - what would you like me to cite? That we are consuming incredible amounts of sugar or food coloring? Or that high sugar consumption leads to type 2 diabetes, which usually starts with un-daignosed insulin resistance? Or that the world population is consuming more sugar in the last two centuries? Or that there is a link between metabolism and obesity, or between obesity and all aforementioned symptoms and diseases? It's all mostly common knowledge really... Sugar consumption is probably not all that different from tobacco smoking - I wouldn't be surprised if some 10 years from now we will see lawsuits against sugared drink vendors claiming that they didn't adequately warn their consumers of the dangers of sugar consumption.
