Casey and Calley Means were on Tucker and Rogan and they were a huge wealth of knowledge on this subject. Calley was a lobbyist for food industry and she was a medical doctor. I just read her book (Good Energy) in 3 days I found it so interesting and I'm not science-y. But definitely into health now. Should check the podcasts out.
You'reright about HCFS, that it's worse than sugar.
But "sugar is needed" is not true: it's a lie supported by the medical mafia. The human body can and does produce all the glucose it needs without any outside sugar.
Sorry, I can’t agree with this. Sugar is more addictive than alcohol or drugs. It can literally make you high or hungover if you over indulge. I’ve changed my diet over the past year and still crave sugar. If you read ingredients in “healthy” foods especially geared to plant based protein for adults and especially kids there’s a lot of sugar. Sugar can alter small children’s brain growth. Sugar is also in carbs that you wouldn’t consider sweet. Humans survived for centuries without sugar. We need animal fats and animal protein. Animal fats have cholesterol (another brainwashing by gov that it’s bad). Our bodies make cholesterol naturally.
What is a babies first food? Basically fat and sugar. One reason why a lot of females are in poor health is because they’ve replaced normal sugars (cane, fruits, honey) with fake or altered sweeteners. I do believe some people are more sensitive to certain foods, but there is plenty of proof out there that humans need sugar to survive. We don’t need to suck it down through 3 cans of soda, but fruit and some cane sugar in your coffee or tea isn’t going to make you addicted. It’s the HFCS that’s triggering the brain to “need more”.
What’s crazy is that males can indeed function off low to no sugars, but it’s different for the female body since we have to store things differently for reproduction/ pregnancy / postpartum.
Biological chemistry, we all use glucose. Whereever its dervied, too much sugar is fattening. Sugar itself is addictive and its an eating disorder if you have that addiction. I wont look up if HFSC is actually more addictive than sugar, but its certainly cheap+in everything, so its a shitter additive definetly.
Thankfully more new moms are breast feeding and skipping the formula and baby food. There’s an entire movement and social media has helped it. My daughter never feed baby any store bought baby food, formula or rice cereal. She had real food from about four months. She does get snack protein bars made from fruit and other plants but mostly real food. I’ll agree to disagree on we need sugar to survive. I’ve researched carnivore diet over the past year and it’s best for me. My main issue with sugar stems from the way I was raised. I grew up in the 70s. My mom said I’d dance for a Pepsi, had it in my bottle. We always had Pepsi and every processed food available. Other than my grandma cooking real food and eating at her house most evenings my diet consisted of junk, even frozen meals. It’s taken my entire life to figure out it was killing me. I don’t blame anyone, I’m an adult and should have realized sooner. However most of America still eats this way. Hopefully we will have a huge awakening concerning our diet in America.
TBH most of those sugar cereals have been around for decades. I never bought them for my kid. Caveat Emptor.
However, deliberately making them addictive . . . I did not know. Sugar itself is desired by kids though.

It’s not the sugar, it’s the high fructose corn syrup. Sugar is needed for humans to function, HFCS is not.

"It became a popular sweetener in the late 1970s when the price of regular sugar was high, while corn prices were low due to government subsidies."
Throw the food pyramid out, we don't need sugar.
