There might be something to this. I think it is funny too, because a lot of folks, even on FR, think the worst thing about sugar substitutes. Its all poison in large amounts..

But hey! Rocketing school busses helps Hamas even-up the body-count. I know you're loving it.

Is Sugar Toxic?
What absolute moronic crap. Carbohydrates (composed of polymers of mostly glucose) are one of the three macronutrients, fats and proteins being the other two. Sucrose is 50% fructose, 50% glucose. The danger of glucose or fructose is only in the context of a hypercaloric diet over a long period of time. Otherwise the body shifts substrate usage around to compensate for relative amounts of macronutrients. Have a hypercaloric diet with a lot of carbohydrates? The body will shift away from fat oxidation and toward glucose oxidation to protect itself from too much free serum glucose. The amount of kilocalories in the hypercaloric diet in excess of total energy expenditure are then stored in the form of dietary fats in adipose tissues. Dietary proteins in excess of amino acid needs for protein synthesis are always burned in the ketogenic or glucogenic cycles, depending on the type of the amino acid.

Is Sugar Toxic?
I sure hope not. As a long distance cyclist I regularly consume 10k-15k calories of refined sugar each week.

if you are exercising, no, it is okay, you are using it
people who are sedentary do not use it up and it triggers an insulin response and yu will gain weight
reduction in simple sugars and simple carbohydrates DOES allow for fat burning, just make sure you dont cut out all carbs.

In large enough quantities water can be toxic. Stupid question.

Sugar is sugar to the body. It all metabolizes the same.

When I got off the sugar, using Atkins, I never felt better. I lost 140 lbs restricting carbs, and with no sugar ever. I’m back to using a little, but I seriously think it’s harmful to me unless used very sparingly. Note: this is not scientific, just my experience.

I too found that I felt better physically with a severly restricted intake of carbs, but mentally I was in a tortured state because I love pasta, bread, and some sweets. I’d rather have to work off the carbs and enjoy daily living.
