Re: Re:
I agree that having a coke when out on a long ride or run isn't a bad idea. That's the thing - it's a sport drink. Drinking a sports drink when you're not doing sport is the problem.
Also there is a big difference between eating refined sugar and natural sugar found in fruit and veg. As mentioned in the lecture I linked - when god created the poison (fructose) he packaged it with the antidote (fiber).
As regards thailand, there is a growing obesity problem here and I see a lot of overweight kids around.

Sugar is not bad. Put a few scopes in your water bottle before you go for a ride or a run.
Look at Thailand etc . Diets are high sugar , rice. fruit carb loaded diets .You don't see many fat people.
Look at France they eat Very rich lunches " high fats " and with wine, again a very slim race of people.
Its about excess, balance.
People are so hung up about foods and body image. It's put pressure on generation's of people who all feel they must have shiny white teeth that glow in the dark and 20 inch waist's and orange tans.
Kids look up to "stars /sporting hero's" Its just not realistic and for a lot of young men and women this leads to depression and they eat and the circle of despair begins. Life should not be about what you eat. Food should not control your life.
"super skinny" I don't like that term . My kids are healthy and lean which they should be for their age.
No young kid should be fat /tubby. IMO that amounts to child abuse. Parents need to get control of what they eat and their kids. You don't often see fat kids and slim parents.
