FUCKING BAM! BUSTING THE SUGAR MYTH! Nickname
There is no current RDA for sugar. However, in describing the Food Guide Pyramid, the USDA suggests intakes ranging from 6% to 10% of total daily calories (a range of 6 to 18 teaspoons depending on the total energy intake) from added sugars. Based on a 2,000 calorie diet that would be about 30 to 50 grams of ADDED sugar. I am guessing that is where they got the 40 grams. Therefore, the 40 grams they talked about in the article is from ADDED sugar. That does NOT include natural sugars such as those found in dairy products and fruit.
And my recommendation is to consume raw sugar rather than white sugar. But other than that, don't worry so much about how much you add.
The Institute of Medicine's Food and Nutrition Board suggests, on the basis of analysis, and other evidence-based information, that a maximal intake of 25% of calories from added sugars would ensure that dietary quality could be maintained. Any higher level could result in diets of poorer quality.
So as long as you keep foods with added sugars to a minimum and try to eat whole foods more often you should be fine!

Same for your sugar diet. Actually that won't work for anyone.

Thank you for the information.

But nonetheless, type two did that to themselves. If it's hereditary there's not much they can do about that.

So basically I'm saying fucking screw type 2 diabetes people. They now suffer the consequences of feasting their fucking faces in with sweets.

>adapting to their surroundings

read that line over and over, and once you're done reading read some more, then smash your head into your monitor so you can get that idea into your head. Please for the love of god, read over the post again (called double checking) before you type anything.

It's not like we have nothing to eat but sugar. Those people, over a period of time, had to adapt to survive to their environment. Their bodies said, "hmm, I'm gonna have to survive without certain key elements of nutrients, I better figure out a way to live." Of course, this being an exaggeration, but you get the picture.

And I never fucking said it was a sugar diet. I'm just saying that sugar (certain kinds) are not as bad as people think they are. I never said consume a fuckload of sugar or anything like that...

I don't think anyone is arguing that a certain amount of sugar is beneficial (even crucial) to our bodies...
i dunno about added and natural sugars being different though. i'm pretty sure our bodies use them the same way, they both raise our blood sugar, etc...

thank you. You seem to be the only one that is not immediately jumping to conclusions.

OP is fucking gay. He quoted an article in his original post, and didn't bother to post it until an hour later. And to top it off, his arguments are incoherent and badly written. I try to keep an open mind, but I also tend to ignore the ideas of stupid people.
