My own position is that it's nutritionists, in their usual form, who are the real source of misinformation. It's like they are part of the scam diet industry, which offers those packaged foods for high prices, then gets to do it again because there's no maintenance.

I remember when cigarette advertising was banned. Isn't sugar also dangerous?

Like cigarettes, one cupcake won't kill you. But it's never ONE cupcake.
