#5> Experts warn that sugar may have an outsize role in causing obesity and diabetes
I thought that was pretty well-known? Is there something new later in the article? (I don't have access)

#6"Salt Sugar Fat: How the Food Giants Hooked Us" (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00985E3UG/) by Michael Moss is highly recommended if you want to learn about the prevalence of sugar in processed food.

#7Pro tip: you need a balanced diet. Despite all the recent conspiracy theories, getting rid of sugar while e.g. eating loads of fat is not going to do you good.
Downvoters: show me academic papers. Not some tabloid mis-quoting some paper, but the actual paper or at least an abstract.
Otherwise you're just being dietary fanboys

#8The opposite view: http://raypeat.com/articles/articles/sugar-issues.shtml . Ray Peat's argument is that polyunsaturated fats are the real culprit, and if you look at most sugar laden foods these days, it's difficult to find any that don't also contain a decent amount of PUFA.

#9Increase fats?
No biggie, you'll get satiated too fast to overconsume.
Increase proteins?
You satiate even faster.
Increase sugar?
You will eat a lot more and your leptin signal gets all sorts of messed up.

Thanks for the recommendation. I really enjoyed "Good Calories, Bad Calories: Fats, Carbs, and the Controversial Science of Diet and Health" by Gary Taubes on this subject as well. Great historical overview of nutritional science and not afraid of getting into a lot of details. Taubes, with others, went on to start the Nutrition Science Initiative (http://nusi.org) with the aim of pursuing more conclusive evidence in understanding human nutrition.
