I agree with the general thrust of your comment, but I think it's one slice of something broader and more subtle that we should be wary of. The sense I get is that we tend to obsess over purity. Then, having purified ourselves, we feel entitled to indulge. So we set up frameworks where some things are good and others are bad irrespective of the amount or context, and act as though we're doing well as long as we make some discernible effort to limit the bad things (as it happens, there's often an elitist streak through the pattern of what we brand bad and when). In this case, what I'm getting at is that we can't win by just declaring sugar the new bad thing. That would probably just lead to us finding a way to kill ourselves with fat and protein instead. I feel like we desperately need to, as a culture, develop an understanding of and appreciation for balance and synergy.
