Most of what Alan Aragon sites are errors is just his opinion as he doesn't back up all of it with facts which makes his debunking rather disingenuous. Lustig correctly identifies that fact that companies have been increasing HFCS additives in processed foods and drinks for many years and feeding this to children while increasing childhood obesity while pretending it's healthy to eat it. Lustig never says for children or adults to be sedentary. For those active body types less prone to weight gain and who already eat balanced meals on their own, this sounds alarmist. But for those people, and there are millions, that are prone to weight gain and diabetes AND sugar addiction, this stuff is a killer. What Lustig did was explain to people that they have to start looking at what they are consuming in a different way, and quit watching soft drink commercials showing very fit models playing volleyball thinking the stuff won't make you fat. On top of that, the soft drink companies kept looking for ways to add more HFCS to make it even harder for those types to quit drinking it. No Alan, you don't have to be alarmist about this, you're very very fit and already on the right path. Try to remember the millions who haven't gotten there yet, but are fed a daily diet of BS by the commercial food industry to keep them buying the stuff. On top of all that, these corporations keep lobbying congress to get rid of food labeling so we can't understand what we are consuming - but we shouldn't be alarmist, oh no!
