Insulin, Diseases and Obesity. The toxic truth

Evidence is mounting that sugar is the primary factor causing not just obesity, but also many chronic and lethal diseases.

Dr. Robert Lustig, one of the leading experts on childhood obesity, and arguably the number one enemy of the sugar lobby, has published a well written article in the prestigious scientific journal Nature arguing that sugar is a poison. i

He believes that the negative health effects of sugar consumption can no longer be ignored, any more than the health effects of tobacco and alcohol could.

According to Dr. Lustig, via the website Diet Doctor ii :

"The problem with sugar isn't just weight gain ... A growing body of scientific evidence is showing that fructose can trigger processes that lead to liver toxicity and a host of other chronic diseases.

A little is not a problem, but a lot kills -- slowly."

I have also read that eating more salt is also harmful for fitness. So its the matter of case that everything would be harmful if used in excess. But for sugar there are more points to say that its bad for health and fitness in long run. Some alternatives are available that taste sweet but not a sugar but I don't know these are healthy or not..
