Is sugar toxic?

A perspective on sugar - refined cane sugar (sucrose) or high-fructose corn syrup - and some of the current research into the havoc it wreaks on the body. Worth a read. The research isn't entirely convincing, but again, why take the chance by eating simple sugars in excess? Regardless of whether everyone who eats large quantities of sugar or not gets diabetes, it's not healthy to binge on the sweet stuff. So again, it's worth a read.
