I feel that we should distinguish between:
sugar -- refined sugar (crystaly power, or syrup)
sugar -- as part of a fruit/cane/beet
The first is much more dangerous than the latter. The latter in many cases --when eaten with the fruit that it was produced in -- is very healthy!
- aniviacat 2y agoWhy would it? Is it not just more difficult to reach the same dosage when consumed in the form of fruits/vegetables?
- cies 2y agoWhen it is "part of the plant" you consume it together with fibers and vitamines etc. It is part of living cells.
- meiraleal 2y agoThe latter having the fame of being healthy is actually a worse trap. fruitarian diet is what killed Steve Jobs.

- meiraleal 2y agoSource of what? Steve Jobs' death? Are you being serious? He was a "fruitarian" and thought his diet would cure his pancreatic cancer! Which is what caused it. His Reality Distortion Field killed him.
- cies 2y agoHe tried to cure it with fruitarianism, or fruitarianism caused it? How do you know what causes cancer? Isn't that hard (and nearly always a matter of chances) with cancer? Do fruitarians die from pancreatic cancer more than the rest of the population? (no) Do you have anything to back up your claim? (seems now) Yes I'm serious.
- meiraleal 2y agoYou can be in deny, that's not my problem. All the facts are open there for you to interpret, if you think the cancer in his digestive tract wasn't because of his life-long diet, that's a problem for you. I hope you don't go to the same lengths as him to try to prove you are right (and find out too late that you are wrong).
- GrzegorzWidla 2y agoEven if we assume that you are correct by claiming that fruitarian diet was that killed Steve Jobs, you cannot extrapolate that fruits are unhealthy from the fact that diet of only fruits is harmful. A diet of only water is deadly != water is not healthy.
- meiraleal 2y agoAny person that is serious about nutrition knows that sugar from fruits are toxic and a dessert, even if it is (a lot) better than refined sugar.
- EColi 2y agoCane sugar is the same as refined sugar. It’s the quantity that makes it unhealthy
- cies 2y agoI mean you also eat the cane. Most people dont. Too much fiber.
