No one is talking about eating fruit or eating a cookie, we are talking about the average soft drink consumption in America. Are you trying to say current sugar consumption is in no way contributing to diabetes and obesity?

When you live in a society you have to make risk assessments, e.g.: tobacco being a good example.

Obesity costs are something like 145 billion dollars a year or 10% of the healthcare burden in America. It's not only about money but about productivity and social progress.

You may want to live in a mud village surrounded by Snickers and Mountain Dew and the freedom to be a fat ignorant fuck, but some people want to use all of our health and research advances to better ourselves and society.

In the concluding paragraphs of your source:

>Whether a high intake of sugars can compromise desirable micro-nutrient intakes is also a matter of intense
debate. High-quality data on the issue of micro-nutrient dilution is scarce, and the available evidence needs to be critically examined to evaluate the nutritional significance and, if possible, to estimate the range of sugars intake that can be compatible with micronutrient adequacy. Does the available evidence allow obtaining firm conclusions on an optimal level or threshold of added sugars intake for micro-nutrient adequacy? This is addressed in the review paper by Livingstone and Rennie in this supplement (44).

>Certainly, in our first round difficulties were foreseen to find an overall conclusion for all those areas of work. For this reason, the working group agreed that, at the pre-publication phase, a workshop with about 20 selected invitations would round-up an opportunity to present the final conclusions and consensus of the group together with the collection for new ideas and suggestions that, all together, can contribute to a reflective position on the dietary sugars, thoughts and gaps (see conclusions in this supplement (45)).
