Sugar is now thought to be the cause of cardiovascular disease and high BP?

[Twaddle]

Just read an article stating that table sugar and high fructose corn syrup are now thought to be the cause of high blood pressure and heart disease.  Guess I'll have to abandon my Kit-Kat / Ben & Jerry's diet.

The science has been out there for decades.

Highly processed, not naturally occurring food causes troubles for species that ingests it. Is this a shock to anyone?

So is a calorie a calorie or not?

truth!  People act surprised by this crap.  I've known that eating a lot of sugar is bad for you since I was a little kid.

Very true,read Wheat Belly by Dr William Davis or The blood sugar solution by Dr Mark Hyman.

If you exercise intensely you may eat whatever you please, within reason.

Too much sugar is bad for you?

This just in.....

Re-read the first sentence in this thread.  Heart disease and hypertension.  Everyone knows that sugar is not good for you.  A new study is stating that it is the cause of heart disease.  Did cardiologists have it wrong all along?  For years cardiologists have been preaching that red meats and sat fats were the cause of heart disease.  Now it's sugar.  Does this mean that Atkins was right all along?  Eat all the meat you want?

No, just obesity.

Sugar is naturally occurring, genius.

[Twaddle]

No, just obesity.

I don't understand what you're trying to say?

Obesity is causing problems, nothing else.

The article I was reading did not mention obesity at all.  Are you saying as long as you're not obese, there is no worries about hypertension or cardiovascular disease, and a person could eat all the sugar they want?

Correct me if I am wrong, but your obesity came largely from Olive Oil and Peanut butter.

CONCLUSION
High-sugar diets may contribute substantially to cardiometabolic disease. While naturally occurring sugars in the form of whole foods like fruit are of no concern, epidemiological and experimental evidence suggest that added sugars (particularly those engineered to be high in fructose) are a problem and should be targeted more explicitly in dietary guidelines to support cardiometabolic and general health.  Added sugars probably matter more than dietary sodium for hypertension, and fructose in particular may uniquely increase cardiovascular risk by inciting metabolic dysfunction and increasing blood pressure variability, myocardial oxygen demand, heart rate, and inflammation. Just as most dietary sodium does not come from the salt shaker, most dietary sugar does not come from the sugar bowl; reducing consumption of added sugars by limiting processed foods containing them, made by corporations would be a good place to start. Indeed, reducing processed-food consumption would be consistent with existing guidelines already in place that misguidedly focus more on the less-consequential white crystals (salt).  Future dietary guidelines should advocate substituting highly refined processed foods (ie, those coming from industrial manufacturing plants) for natural whole foods (ie, those coming from living botanical plants) and be more explicitly restrictive in their allowances for added sugars. The evidence is clear that even moderate doses of added sugar for short durations may cause substantial harm.
