Certainly an anecdote, but Leila Denmark was a pediatrician who also co-discovered the pertussis vaccine. She related how she had quit consuming sugar age 32 because she believed it was harmful.

Her husband lived well into his nineties and she passed away at 114. She even refused birthday cake at her 100th and 110th birthday parties.

I wonder how much is related to obesity though - how do thin, otherwise healthy people do when consuming larger quantities of sugar.

well yea sugar is pretty bad for you, and you get enough from your foods already. Eating stuff that's laden with the stuff is just asking for disease.
