The bottom line is we know sugar is bad. Its not even an issue that can be debated. Americans consume most of their calories from sugar....there is all the proof you need..lol
However i notice that the conclusion from the cited article begins:
"From the foregoing observations it may be concluded that the high
sugar diets have no detrimental effect upon the growth and general health
of rats. The various organs likewise show no abnormalities, aside from
some few changes in relative weight..."
Of course just because there are no detrimental effects in rats does not mean we can necessarily draw the same conclusion in relation to humans.

You'd be surprised about how many people will argue with you over it. Or rather, most people will tell you that sugar is bad, but deny how it could have an effect on any specific health problem, except maybe diabetes and I've even seen that debated. Or they will say something, like "anything in moderation," and most have no idea what moderation with sugary foods even means. Pop-tarts for breakfast, a soda with lunch, and a bowl of ice cream before bed is not moderation, but most would probably say it is.
Um, the article is from 1929 and the original post is from 2009.
What it found was fat in the liver, not cirrhosis.
The rats with fatty livers were fed diets that were 80% sugar.
I think we can assume the study has little relevance to human beings. I hope none of us are eating diets that are 80% sugar --- or even 80% total carbs.

Um, you're way behind the times Suzy --you oughta see the food the kids eat at school and I'm guessing it's not much better at home.
I admit that i'm really dumbfounded by my past action here as obviously i posted this link and yet i have no idea where i found this 1929 article at or why i would post something from that year? I've always posted links on here that are current from sites like Science Daily and Muscle & Fitness magazine as a few regular examples.
Maybe i was high from too much oxygen and endorphins from playing high intensity full court basketball against those 20 somethings that day?
Anyway as the OP i'd say just disregard this thread .

It was still interesting --- including the fact that the rats appeared healthy except for the fatty livers!
Does anyone know why they were interested in the lengths of the rats' tails?
