Second, “It’s unfair to single out sugar and not starch,” is a silly statement. Of course there's a difference to at least the causes of obesity. Only in very few places is "half the calories in the food supply" not starches yet only in high sugar consuming areas is obesity an issue.

Lustig's argument against sugar is outstanding, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dBnniua6-oM

Both very good points. Also, sugar is half fructose while starches become 100% glucose when converted into sugar. Fructose, well... that stuff is bad in the quantities that it gets consumed in nowadays.
