@wahming @AllenSmithee Press X for Doubt.

If you had said sugar is not *solely* to blame I might consider that thesis but pretending as though sugar is not a core part of the problem is… an interesting take, which I do not believe.

What are slimemold’s credentials? Do they cite research? Just curious. This non-HTTPs website seems like a dubious source to me. But I might be wrong. That is a cursory judgement.

Will check out if there’s any research cited that promotes that thesis

They link to a lot of studies, and explain the reasoning at every step of the way. Like I said, it's an interesting read. I'd be happy to hear an opposing view about any mistakes in their logic.

@wahming I’ve only read a little but it’s very well written. I apologize if I came off rude. I was just surprised.

I definitely am swayed by the discussion, FTR

Right? Prior to this I would have agreed with you about sugar. I'm open to the possibility that they're making mistakes I'm not smart enough to notice, which is why I'm happy to hear other viewpoints on it
