60 Min had a segment on sugar - how toxic and carcinogenic it is. What about carbs, such as Pringles?

60 Min had a segment on how toxic sugars are to us. It also relates how harmful sugars are as a cause of cancer and other problems. Diabetics (I am NOT a diabetic) are more concerned with carbohydrates than sugars. How harmful are snacks such as pringles (baked potatoe crisps, made from potato flakes, corn starch, sugar, oil). I am not sure that sugar is as harmful as the program had said it is. It makes sense to cut down on sugar, I need my occasional comfort food junk food. I need chocolate candy and other junk foods. I don't need soda, but I need mint chocolate chip ice cream, or chocolate covered mints. That and lemonade.

    If you have it every once in a while, you will be fine. It is when it becomes a daily staple that you will start seeing the negative effects.

    I am a fellow comfort food enjoyer.
