I think we all agree that most people eat way too much refined sugar, and technically don't really need to eat any, but come on, that's just ridiculous hyperbole... Since most plant foods we eat, hell, even breast milk contains the exact same sugars that are refined into table sugar, syrups, etc. and the chemicals themselves are required by the body for things like brain function, it's probably fair enough to call it a food...
