Pff. That article is so bullshit. A mutation is when the DNA itself is altered, but from what the study said, sugar merely affects gene expression, not the genes themselves, so it's not a mutation and your DNA remains unaltered.
Oh so I'm prone to diabetes because I eat a load of chocolate because the sugar is now mutating my DNA... WTH Science.
It didn't say natural or artificial sugars though :/ so does that mean we can't eat fruit now like we're supposed to because we'll mutate ourselves.

That's not the half of it. If you can eat fifteen pounds of chocolate and live, you have a slight chance of becoming an actual furry.Fat Man Spoon said:

*ring* Hello, Hershey? I want to place a bulk order.
Um shoot. I've had like seventy pounds of chocolate in the last ten minutes, maybe I'll become a tiger.Michael_McCloud said:
I'd do anything for three extra penises, okay, now where are the sugar packes.Xyphon said:
*runs off to find sugar packet*
HAHA, *continues to rip open and eat 25 packets of sugar*.
HOLY SHIT, I GREW AN EXTRA ARM, YEAH.
Was I the only one to suddenly think the of the movie Dune when I read this?
"the Spice must flow!"

I'm then surprised I haven't got a third head or grown a second set of genitalia after the first one getting sterilized. And even if that hasn't happened yet, I'm still taking the risk. It's just so good. I looooove chocolate.
Yay! Drinking Mountain Dew lowers my sperm count and turns my children into Super Mutant Behemoths!
All you need then is a triple-cunted hooker. (Daily Yahtzee quote, check)Supreme Unleaded said:
So i'm really to belive i can mutate from eating Butterfingers and Reese's. If it is true then sign me up i'll be glad to grow extra things or gain cool powers to fight my enemies
I call total BS. How the hell does sugar mutate genes? It might interfere with enzyme production, but certainly not actual mutations. As far as I know, mutations can only occur during birth and exposure to radiation.
Just because you get diabetes from eating sugar doesn't mean you're a mutant.

This is an awful piece of journalism. We know what you eat affects what your dna does. If you drink a lot of water, your ability to uptake water diminishes, if you starve yourself you begin to break down your muscle cells. I don't see why it should be different with sugar. We've known this for a long time, that poor eating habits can cause diabetes, why do we care about this piece of rubbish?
