Widely discredited Dr who's primary goal appears to be selling dietary cookbooks. I'm speaking of definition here, the use of the word poison. A poison causes death or injury to organs through ingestion or contact. Sugar makes you fat.

You posted a link to a magazine article referencing a single disputed study that does not definitively link the consumption of starches to reduction in bodily wellbeing over a short period of time by going from feeding a group healthy food to suddenly feeding them other food. Arsenic is a poison, you eat it, you die. Sugar indirectly leads to minor long term health problems that CAN contribute to I'll health, you may or may not die after around 60 years of heavy consumption. It is unlikely that it can be ever considered to be a poison. It can turn ya into a fat cunt though.

Sugar... leads to... health problems

because it's poison, by definition. Glad you agree.

Drink too much water and you will go into a coma, and you will die, by your definition water is a poison. By that definition, everything is a poison. Vitamin e can cause heart attacks, is vitamin e a poison? No. No it isn't.
