If sugar is a drug how come people can cut it out and use sweeteners with no problems?
Arrgghh!! this is getting silly. Of course I wouldn't say that steak is a drug but we're talking about effects on the body with things like sugar that go far deeper than nutrition as I said before. I'm not trying to brag or be a clever clogs but I do have a PhD in sugar chemistry so please grant me a little insight.

And we're talking here about the effects far above those seen with the recommended daily intake of such things.

BTW looking at some of the none too pretty sights wandering the streets I'm beginning to wonder if steak etc is not a drug for some folks!
