Give me a burger with an egg and bacon on top.. You can keep your sugar filled drinks and other garbage. (Edit: a quick aside.. Try to find bacon without sugar in it... It's not easy... Who puts sugar in meat? Idiots?)

Amen brother.
Big sugar?
I've posted this here before... but if you have not seen it - give it 90 minutes of your time. It's got some history, some medicine and a lot of truth people should have been aware of if the FDA was doing it's job.
Sugar is pure evil.
Mmmmsugarmmmm.
I prefer sugar with my fat, actually.

So, you like chocolate on your bacon?

That is worth the watch.

Grape jelly, actually. Applesauce with pork, cranberry with turkey, pineapple with ham, its all good.
I don't intend to live past my "best before" date.
I had cotton candy bacon when I was in Nashville this summer; it was exactly what it sounds like and it was delicious.
Real sugar is better than fake sugar. But, always in moderation.
We all know fat makes you fat.

How silly are you going to look laying on a gurney with gray skin and "complications of type II diabeetus" or some weak ass arterial blockage E36 M3 from decades of diet pepsi? Why not wash down the fentanyl with rye whiskey and go hang gliding... really challenge the expiration date! Give the EMTs a story to tell.
Sugar just makes you hungry. More sugar = more hungry. Fat and protein fills you up. You need carbs but not in the massive quantities that most Americans eat them in.

I concur.
If you must, take your chances with cane sugar. The stuff made from corn is toxic and responsible for a lot of the heart disease epidemic.

Not to worry. Unless its a stroke that removes the use of my trigger finger, I will not lay in a home.
After I was diagnosed with a corn allergy I had to cut out basically all sources of it, including the ever present high fructose corn syrup. It's hard to catch all of it because it's almost in everything but I've lost 35+- lbs. just from trying to eliminate that.
Oreos are my weakness.

If I found him after attempting to end his own suffering and you did that I would be terribly conflicted. Call for help - or make toast points?
I didn't mean to derail this thread. Sorry, but I am healthy and reasonably fit for 56. My only regular medication is a light blood pressure pill I've been on for a couple of years. I eat whatever I want to, but in moderation as much as I can.
To the original topic: Removing one product from my diet will not change my lifespan by a noticeable fraction.
And, I have no interest in ever being 96 years old and still breathing.
I wonder how you would feel at 95. Many 16 year olds claim to not want to live to 40... or 30.

Ha ha! True. Just like people saying "40 is the new 30" or whatever are always 40 year olds... Never 30 year olds!
I haven't really tapered sugar back into my diet. But I'm back up to 260lb at 6'2. Blood pressure is 112/78 and total cholesterol is 134. I swim and do resistance band work and incredibly light free weight work, 8lb max, in the pool. My BMI and lack of muscle suggest that I should be a blubbering ball of heart disease, however my numbers are actually better than when I was 17, weighing 187lb playing HS football, running 30 miles a week and on the US national under 19 men's swim team and under 19 men's lacrosse team. Of course when I was 17 I was on a 11,200 calorie a day diet that involved a large amount of simple carbs in order to reach that number.
If that's not proof that it's sugars that jack up the average American, I don't know what is.
