The long term effects of sugar on humans are not general folklore because
	1.  The bad effects apparently dot not apply to all
	2.  The sugar industry has waged an effective disinformation campaign

Consider that it took hundreds of years for the bad effects of cigarettes
to become the medical folklore, and that there is still no consensus on
the the extent of the danger of cholesterol IN FOODS, and it is safe to
assume the bad effects of sugar will be a long time unacknowledged.
