Is Sugar Toxic? via the NY Times
I contributed this comment (loved reading this article after munching on Trader Joe’s jelly beans last night while watching The Expendables):
What was the typical diet of these cancer-free Inuit Indians? My guess is that it was high in animal proteins and fats and very low in fruits and vegetables. But the animals they were eating were wild and not being raised on factory farms.
The takeaway for me from this article is that processed “foods” can have long-term harmful consequences. Michael Pollan has touched on this in his books, and this article is another reminder to eat only what your grandmother would recognize as food.
