Advocating Against Sugar in Everything

This is not my video, but I needed a place to host it so that I can share it with others. I originally found it on reddit [https://www.reddit.com/r/assholedesign/comments/ezrg8i/we_have_each_other/].

I know this is a huge wall of text, but please read, consider, and share with others. 

Sugar is so ubiquitous that you'd be hard-pressed to find processed food that doesn't contain it in some form or fashion. From high-fructose corn syrup to cane sugar, it's all bad for you given the quantities we consume daily.

Not only does consuming sugar lead to higher rates of being overweight and/or obese [https://www.niddk.nih.gov/health-information/weight-management/adult-overweight-obesity/definition-facts], but it may also lead to hyperactivity, fatigue, and lack of focus in children (and adults), and contributes to tooth decay (face it, we all hate going to the dentist - sorry dentists!) [https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002426.htm].

There is an argument out there that sugars are okay in moderation, and it's okay if they are all natural; I'd like to counter-argue:

1. There is no such thing as moderation of sugar – not without copious amounts of money and time
    - who of us has either of those, let alone both? - seriously... i need some financial and time-management advice
2 Radon is all natural, and it's a radioactive gas that will slowly kill you and your family and you wouldn't even know it - almost like sugar 🤔.

Seriously, please share. My only agenda is to advocate for being more health conscience.
