There's a PoV that sugar should be treated and thought more like a controlled substance [0]. I tend to agree. It has weak addictive properties and is used without restraint by the food industry to make more sales by transforming foods into a weak resemblance of candy. "Once upon a time, sugar was a condiment. Now it’s a diet staple. That’s a problem, because as it turns out, we as human beings have a limited capacity to metabolize it. There are things you can do to up your metabolism, like vigorous exercise. But the bottom line is we have a limited capacity to metabolize it — virtually like every poison, kind of like alcohol. So a little is okay; a lot is not." [0] https://www.vox.com/2014/6/2/5771008/the-case-for-treating-sugar-like-a-drug https://www.vox.com/2014/6/2/5771008/the-case-for-treating-s...
