The fact is that [in human history], we as humans only had fruit once a year. And that was called harvest time. And then, what happened after harvest time was four months of winter. So in fact, the sugar that we consumed during that month after harvest time, actually increased our adiposity in a way that was adaptive and beneficial, given that we were about to face four months of famine. The problem is that now -- with sugar being available 24/7, 365, and that the total sugar consumption has just gone up everywhere, and very specifically for the food industry's purposes -- that we have basically undone our evolutionary biochemistry in a very negative way. What we have now is maladaptive.
