Should 'Addictive' Sugar Be Treated Like Alcohol and Tobacco?

February 2, 2012

FROM RETAILWIRE:
A commentary in the journal Nature, posits that sugar is addictive, can be tied to a wide range of health issues facing individuals across the globe, and needs to be regulated in a similar fashion to alcohol and tobacco to limit its consumption. Do you think sugar is addictive?      [more...]

MY COMMENTARY:

Why doesn't the fact that this came from San Francisco surprise me?

Yes indeed, we should have Katherine Sibelius decide if it's "one lump or two." After all, how in the world can all us unenlightened morons make decisions for ourselves?

The big question, of course, is, with all us idiots eating poorly, breathing polluted air, etc., etc., how is it that longevity continues to rise?

Thank God for the regulators.
