What's your point? The article implied that sugar magically causes obesity and diabetes, all calories being equal, when the weight of the evidence supports neither assertion, and ironically implicates saturated fat as being worse, showing an ability to cause an increase in visceral fat and worsened insulin sensitivity (measured with oral glucose tolerance tests), even in weight-stable subjects.

The "different approach" HNers gravitate towards is eating bacon and butter (i.e., keto/low-carb) and denying all of the evidence linking these foods to CVD, probably because fat and sodium are so addictive, much more so than sugar: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42028432
