Sugar

Thank you for your message RE addressing the sugar flag -- I will need to tonight to take a closer look as I am editing from my phone right now.

However at first glance I think I will need to make/propose some further changes. The paragraph still proceeds as though sugar's most credible health risk is hyperactivity, whereas I heard professor robert lustig call sugar 'poison,' based on evidence that it's the main cause of obesity & diabetes. Not that I'm an expert, but I read about it in 'Is sugar toxic,' a NYT magazine cover article. Even if the theory is controversial, it deserves a fair bit of attention in our article. And I think it was mentioned in the consumer reports article I was referring to in my flag, and that was the info I thought needed to be extracted from that article, or by adding more citations.

Essentially it's the absence of this theory that made me think this article its being scrutinized by a sugar lobby.

I'll take a closer look when I'm at my computer tonight. Thanks again
