Is Sugar Toxic?
Lustig's argument, however, is not about the consumption of empty calories - and biochemists have made the same case previously, though not so publicly. It is that sugar has unique characteristics, specifically in the way the human body metabolizes the fructose in it, that may make it singularly harmful, at least if consumed in sufficient quantities.

Do you keep them penned up like veal and infuse them with formula or mother's milk? I hear formula fed babies have a medicinal taste. I don't want that for the party.... I would be a terrible host.

Okay, after an hour and a half lecture and a 6500 word summary I think I've got it. Sugar and HFCS is poison and is surely going to kill us all. You've absolutely convinced me. Can we do something else for awhile now?

Exactly. I think people have a problem with the word toxic. DO NOT WORRY, STANDING OR SITTING NEARBY SUGAR WILL CAUSE NO BODILY HARM.

No, I think salvia and sativa smoke much better than saliva.
