Nobody anywhere is arguing that if the average north american cuts allot of sugar out of their diet they will be healthier.

The names of science and evidence just shouldn't be used in this way, its a gateway drug to other BS; juicing cleanses, chiropractor, cupping, needling, and then you have some acupressure quack telling my mom he can cure her allergies with juice, or a naturopath telling your uncle that he will cure his cancer with imaginary mercury in his water. And I think its important that anyone starts down this path is at least warned, so they can see the signs when it escalates.

Leave those two words out of it and eat whatever the hell you want if you think it will help you control your weight or energy...
This ranks right up with one of the most ridiculous posts in the history of CP. Keto is the gateway drug to seeing a witch doctor, who knew?
