在前面的叙述中，Bray和Popkin博士提供了他们的意见和审查数据，向他们建议我们需要重新考虑基于肥胖和2型糖尿病日益增长的关注的膳食糖的消费。在下面的对比叙述中，我们认为没有明确或令人信服的证据表明任何膳食或添加糖相对于任何其他卡路里来源对肥胖或糖尿病的发展具有独特或有害的影响。糖纯粹是一种非常可口的能量来源;因为它没有其他似乎有助于我们营养健康的特性，所以它不是我们大多数人的必需食物。对于那些希望减少能量消耗的人来说，少摄入糖是一个很好的开始。然而，这样做并不自动预示着任何临床益处。
In the preceding point narrative, Drs. Bray and Popkin provide their opinion and review data that suggest to them that we need to reconsider the consumption of dietary sugar based on the growing concern of obesity and type 2 diabetes. In the counterpoint narrative below, we argue that there is no clear or convincing evidence that any dietary or added sugar has a unique or detrimental impact relative to any other source of calories on the development of obesity or diabetes. Sugar is purely a highly palatable source of energy; because it has no other property that appears to contribute to our nutritional well-being, it is not an essential food for most of us. For those who wish to reduce energy consumption, ingesting less sugar is a good place to start. However, doing so does not automatically portend any clinical benefit.
