And if there was a more stupid court decision ever made, I am
not aware of it.  "Oh please, I couldn't help myself, it's that
killer sugar taking possession of me. (-:)"

Sugar causes your teeth to rot, and is empty calories.  There is
no evidence that it causes mental instability.  "Refined" sugar
is chemically identical to "natural" sugar.  The only reason to stay
away from highly sugared foods, if you brush your teeth regularly,
is that you neglect to put other things in your body that you need.
Honey will rot your teeth just as well (in fact better--it is
sticky), and if all you eat is honey, you'll get sick exactly as
if all you ate was twinkies and coke.
