Robert H. Lustig, MD, and a team of UCSF researchers argue that sugar should be controlled like alcohol and tobacco to protect public health. Oh boy, now it’s sugar Nazis. Is it our imagination or is California full of self-righteous rabid control-freaks? Research this: everybody’s going to die. “Controlling” alcohol, tobacco, fat, sugar and how many times we breathe per minute won’t make us live longer, it’ll just seem like longer. Get a life, will ya?

Ohh I wan to change from Law enforcement to the sugar Nazi's. Get a bright white uniform, bright white patrol car that says "sugar Police" on it. A gun that shoots dextrose bullets. "step back from the bag of sugar or I shoot!" But man I got a five pound a day habit!..........
For Christ's sake, we have no solved the problems in Kalifornia of bad roads, crime, over taxation, over regulation, budget imbalances, corrupt politicians, and we can now move on to taking out that evil know as sugar????? What the F*ck is the doctor smokin'? Hey doc when you solve all those other problems get back to me, cause in Kalifornia you have a statistical better chance of getting shot., robbed, run over, having a car crash, getting your ID ripped off, burglarized, raped, or just beaten for the hell of it by a gangster than you do of diabetes. Oh and I forgot getting hit by lighting.
OK, I know I/m going to be in trouble here, but here goes. I don't think sugar should be taxed or restricted per se. I DO think that companies should be prevented from adding unnecessary simple sugars to EVERYTHING! A teaspoon of sugar in savory dishes actually improve the savory flavor. Same in reverse for sweet dishes. A little salt (maybe a quarter to half a teaspoon) enhaces the flavor. But we aren't talking in teaspoonfulls. We are talking about food that has been processed to the point of tastelessness, then has added sugar and salt in enormous quanities to try and make them palatable. It isn't only unhealthy, it is theft, because those ingredients are cheap for the manufacturers and expensive in the products sold to you. In the past, something fruit flabored had a little fruit. No more. Now is all created in a lab, using simple sugars and sugar alcohols. It results in increased direct cost to the consumer, plus increased cost in dealing with the side effects of consumption. Eat real food. Its cheaper in the long run, and tastes better. And if you coccasionally want to have a pice of cake, a couple of cookies or some ice cream, go for it! Just go for the real stuff, not the fake.
What an evil dumb son of a bxtch. Its AKA the AGW disciples....we are going to control sugar....so now we moderate the availability of sugar.....how much taxation does it take to control your use (of sugar) .... as a designated driver....are these people for REAL. FU you SOB's Next it will be water because fish Piss and Shxt in it....FU U SOB's
What part of personal choice dosen't these liberal idiots understand? So what's next, they going to make sugar a schedule 1 drug?
"Sugar meets the same criteria for regulation as alcohol...because it's unavoidable, there's potential for abuse, it's toxic and it negatively impacts society."
That sounds like a good description of liberalism.
First they came for my cigarettes, then they came for my incandescent light bulbs, now they're coming for my sugar bowl. Progressivism is fascism with a college education.
Prohibition was an abject failure, if sugar is restricted or heavily taxed and regulated, the Mexican drug cartels will switch to smuggling it. It's simple supply and demand.
get off of it will ya!! jesus christ...this is all BS! remember when you could smoke indoors, and no one gave a fuck? these health-nazi's are the offspring of the marxist,hippie scum of the 60's, and will regulate and ruin everything in life. it's an individual's choice to buy,consume,eat,drink,smoke whatever the fuck they want! get a real job ya god damn lowlives...
These freaks just want to be able to TAX SUGAR - just like gasoline, so they can fuel their corrupt pet projects, such as illegal aliens, etc.
Just another step closer to utter and complete controll of the lives of all of us. These damn fools need to look in the mirrors
I know where I'd like to stick this piece of sugarcane right now.
This fellow can be the sugar commissar in Mrs. BO's coming Department of Healthy Living
