Yeah, and caffeine is a drug, do you need a prescription for that. I have no doubt that some lobbying special interest group is behind this "research".

- astrange 15y agoWhich group would that be?
- jff 15y agoWhy, the artificial sweetener industry, of course! In seriousness, there is surely a bunch of money to be made here, even if that isn't the objective of the researcher. Step one, declare that eating X will kill you. Step two, develop a book all about how not to eat X. Step three, profit. Note that there is no "..." step, because there are always people dumb enough to jump on the latest food craze.
- mitchty 15y agoYou might want to watch this video of the guy behind this research first. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM His reason for regulation is fructose acting very similarly to alcohol as far as reactions go. Be forewarned that video takes about 20-30 minutes to pick up. But he gets into cell biology of what fructose and sucrose do in cells. Now does anyone have links to criticism that actually argues his points biologically? I can't help but agree that we eat too much sugar in our modern diets.
