Only if you aren’t a sugar addict, right?

You don’t tell an alcoholic to have some wine in moderation, do you?[/quote]

DP, but I would yes. 
Abstaining from something is a sign of weakness, saying you cannot control your urges, so it's good for someone to confront it and learn to moderate it. That's better than just avoiding it. [/quote]

DP: I suggest you read up on the studies about actual sugar addiction. Sugar acts on the same brain receptors as heroin, so if you are susceptible, this is bad. It's like saying to an addict, have a little heroin in moderation, it'll be fine![/quote]

Anyone who is that far gone would have to be on a carnivore diet.

The body still makes glucose as needed for the brain. [/quote]

Yeah, there are some very specific people who need to be on extreme low carb diets (like people with specific types of epilepsy) but that's not most people.  Everything in moderation.  My great grandad's favorite food was chocolate chip cookies and he lived to 100.  [b]But sure if he'd cut all sugar maybe he could have lived to 101?[/b][/quote]

No way to answer that, too many variables. Life could have been cut short by not ducking at the right moment while walking. Many narrow escapes even in diet.

Moderation is key. Learning to control urges and moderate things. Like the Buddha taught.[/quote]
