When I was a young boy, a sugar laden Coke was only 7 oz. Then it went to 12 oz and now 20 oz. So the notion that sugar is not a major culprit of obesity is not convincing.

It looks like the seed oils causing insulin resistance is an important amplifier in problems with sugar. I am all for the inflation caused price increases in candy bars. I also only try, and mostly succeed, in only eating those things with my eyes and walking on. I also call doughnuts do-nots. I lived the American diet like most all of us growing up. I am glad to be getting this education about seed oils and pesticides like glyphosates now as I get old and changes in how I digest and process foods becomes more critical.

No kidding. Go into any convenience store attached to a gas station nothing but sugar and carbs, fried in seed oils.
