> Addictive poison, really? Wait til they see what's in fruit.

Is that supposed to be a contradiction? It is in fruit and therefore it can't be bad? The poisonous fruit of Atropa belladonna comes to mind.

> Of course in excess it's bad, but normal sugar consumption is not an issue.

The thing is, though, that normal sugar consumption is borderline impossible in a modern diet. You have to go out of your way to avoid sugar, it requires informed decision-making and -- all too often -- purchasing relatively expensive products. Consequently, people who lack education and/or have a low-income are particularly vulnerable.

I agree with the original comment, these products should be outright banned.
