Sugar is not bad

If you were to consume a literal mountain of sugar in one hour you'd be dead. Sugar is bad.

If you were to consume a literal mountain of anything in one hour you'd be dead.

This is common knowledge.

The point is for you to think about what happens at a point where your body starts to say no to the intake of sugar.

Then look at the essentials for why it has said no, and then realize that my point is "all in consideration"

>britbongs have added sugar to their tea for years

That's totally different because it's added by the drinker.

Although true, what's the fucking point? Why not revert to drinking tea for the health benefits? Does your tea taste that fucking bad?

No, adding sugar changes it's purpose. In the morning most people don't add sugar or only a small amount but in the evening it's pretty ordinary to have 1-2 spoons of sugar. That's because in the morning you want the tea to wake you up and in the evening to chill you out.

So the first part I agree with with all the morning stuff, but the latter part doesn't make sense to me.

Please explain how sugar in tea is good at chilling you out, as opposed to say, Aloe Vera juices that are refreshing and healthy. Wait, why would you even want to be chilled out? If you're doing it right you should be chilling out automatically due to your body needing the rest.

When I come home, I make sure to fill up on nutritious, and delicious food, because I need the energy because of the workout, and the need for energy supply in my body.

So again, why would you need to drink tea with sugar to chill out? Don't say tradition, because that's weak.

Where the fuck would one buy bloody aloe vera juices? And Aloe vera does not compliment the taste of a cuppa whereas all sugar does is take off any edge and help relax you (whilst not greatly affecting the flavour). Quite simply it has multiple benefits, with it's only downside is that it is fattening. But it's natural, one spoonful is a fraction of the amount of sugar in a bread roll, or a pack of crisps, and in most other relaxing drinks.

Plus the fact nearly no-one works out, most people do a hard day's work/school and have a cuppa because it IS good for making you feel relaxed and is enjoyable to drink. And I doubt the nutritious, 'delicious' food is much better for you after all.

No fucking shit? If you consume a literal mountain of anything in one hour you'd be dead. You're argument makes no sense. (Enter Food Name Here) is good for you. But if you eat a literal mountain of (Enter Food Name Here) in one hour you'd be dead. Wanna know why? BECAUSE IT'S THE SIZE OF A FUCKING MOUNTAIN.

Ya Dingus.

It's not an argument until you think about why I said such a ridiculous thing.

I don't feel like explaining it to you, because I feel like you'd say something along the lines of "That's stupid, I mean why not just talk about it directly" as you'll want to defend yourself.

If you want the answer you simply have to imagine the scenario to the fullest of your capabilities. The points should appear afterwards.

I'm not defending sugar. All I'm trying to point out is that the literal part should have been left out. Literal should never be used in a hypothetical manner.
