> Just like there is no benefit to (table) sugar. You're joking right? There are plenty of benefits to consuming table sugar. Not the least of which is the cost per calorie and the quick availability of energy. But we can also add in low weight/calorie and good food preservation qualities. Your body isn't fucking up when it tells you that sugar is tasty. It knows what it's doing. That doesn't mean that table sugar is something you should be consuming all the time and in the quantities we do, but it's fairly outrageous to suggest that table sugar is not beneficial as a blanket statement. --- You might have the opinion that calories are plenty enough that you can avoid table sugar. That opinion is just as much an outlier historically as is our current easy access to sugar.
