For 300,000 year children were'nt getting type 2 diabetes or fatty liver disease.

For 4,500 year humans have been engaging in gavage or the forced feeding of animals to fatten them up, for example the popular French dish Foie Gras - french for fat liver - is liver of duck or goose force feed corn.

If for the first time in history you concentrate the sugar found in corn and put it in beverages and regularly feed them to kids and the kids beging developing the same fatty liver as the Foie Gras...is it then ok to question the sugar?

>Not saying drinking sugary drinks is good, but your justification is bad

Parent isn't rejecting the questioning of sugar.

He's pointing out how the reasoning used is spurious.
