"one of the underlying reasons for the debate about refined sugars is that evidence is not as clear-cut as it is for trans fatty acids or saturated fat,"

Yeah, right! There is definite clear-cut evidence about saturated fat:

If you eat too much sugar and too much saturated fat, you will have problems. If you eat even more you will have even more problems.

Yes, very clear-cut!

How's 'bout saturated fat in the presence of hardly any carbs reversing all of these so-called "clear-cut" evidentiary points?

I guess that would be as non-"clear-cut" as saying that the Atkins approach could actually work. And remember, according to these folks, what we do and discuss here doesn't actually exist!
