In a CBS news piece the authors are quoted as saying Sugar meets the same criteria for regulation as alcohol, because its unavoidable, theres potential for abuse, its toxic and it negatively impacts society. They continue by saying that, Sugar is everywhere, and people eat up to 500 calories per day in added sugar alone, Sugar acts on the same areas of the brain as alcohol and tobacco to encourage subsequent intake, and its toxic because research shows that sugar increases disease risk form factors other than added calories, such as when it disrupts metabolism Thats why its time that the government steps in and regulates sugar in ways similar to tobacco and alcohol. That includes taxes, age restrictions and other policies to control the distribution of sugar
That felt like an idealisation, if ever there was one
