SUGAR is a poison and its sale should be as tightly regulated as cigarettes and alcohol, scientists say.

The US scientists warn that sugary foods and drinks are responsible for illnesses including obesity, heart disease and cancer.

They also claim it contributes to 35 million deaths globally a year and is so dangerous it should be controlled through taxation and legislation.

In an article published in the journal Nature they state: "A little is not a problem but a lot kills - slowly."

The scientists warn obesity is now a bigger problem globally than malnourishment, and that sugar not only makes us fat but also changes the body's metabolism, raises blood pressure, throws hormones off balance and harms the liver.

The authors, led by University of California childhood obesity expert Dr Robert Lustig, say that, like alcohol, sugar is widely available, toxic, easily abused and harmful to society.

They say teaching children about diet and exercise is unlikely to be effective.

They recommend using taxation to double the price of fizzy drinks, restricting the sale of these drinks to those aged over 18, and tightening regulations covering school vending machines and snack bars.

The article also reveals sugar consumption has tripled in the past 50 years.

The scientists say the responsibility lies with food companies, who will likely resist change, unless policy pressure is great enough.

University of SA Professor Leonie Segal said governments must "protect vulnerable members of society, especially where the capacity for well-informed decision-making is limited or non-existent".

Excess sugar was a "crucial aspect of current poor food choices" and thus an important focus for government policy, she said.

The Australian Diabetes Foundation's head of research, Dr Alan Barclay, said the cause of our increasing waistlines was far more complex than sugar.

"Casting sugar as the ultimate villain ... is misleading," he said.

"The only disease proven to be related to excess frequent sugar consumption is tooth decay."

The damage mirrors the effects of excess alcohol.

It is often easy as Creators to feel things move slowly but the tide turning against sugar is one of the many victories that can be ascribed to Ben Klassen and the Creativity Religion.
